Technically these are rhythm sticks. Got these at a Cajun hoodo festival down in Texas. Keep these in gig bag for good music vibes.

das ist gut, c'est fantastique!

Superb Band, loved his 1977 debut album, one of the few of that time's hole scene, worth a complete listen these days IMO.

Yep, another classic bassline from the 'incredible' Norman Watt-Roy

Don't forget the catchy flipside of the HMWYRS single:

Jump Back....I'm gonna kiss myself!

Such a great live band too.

Watt-Roy still have that bass and he even have the same original strings on it.

The Blockheads was the tightest band around at the time. Very talented musicians.
I mean, not many could play two saxophones at once.

Superbad? Are we talking about James Brown's rhythm sticks now? Sorry if I'm being a bit of a blockhead in not getting your reference...
"Sometimes I feel so nice, good lord!
I jump back, I wanna kiss myself!
I've got soul, huh, and I'm super bad, hey!"

Sometimes I post just what comes to my old, addled mind without proper context. Yes, James Brown was SUPER BAD!

I was all in the first time I heard this on the radio way back when.
