Comment:

Good evening folks, and welcome to the latest installment of the Mutual Appreciation Society. I am your host, Funky Ratchet.I have always been a big admirer of Texas Hobart's blues, folk, and country mixes, so I jumped at the opportunity to do a mix with him. The picture served as our inspiration - the final panel from "The Willowdale Handcar" by Edward Gorey. If you know anything at all about either of our music tastes, it shouldn't be hard to figure out who's odds and who's evens; I just hope the couple of curveballs I threw in served to further the atmosphere we were going for, rather than disrupt it. Thanks again, Tex...I'm really pleased with the results!D.M.G.
