We had a ton of tech issues that night, but I think this one turned out ok. Dave and Chrissy Bentley make a cameo.

The Killer Granddaddies—now on a long hiatus—performing with acoustic instruments the first song I ever wrote, while in prison around 2000.
Lyrics
Punch in the mouth
Kick in the groin
Gonna tax your ass
Til you’re tenderloin
You think you’re a king
You’re nothing but a fool
What I’m gonna do
Is take you to school
Slap you around
Rearrange your face
Send that puny body
To a painful place
This is a promise
I’m gonna keep
Like the preacher says
You’re gonna sow what you reap
Gonna draw blood
Gonna break bones
Gonna use sticks
Gonna use stones
Gonna make you pay
For what you’ve done
Gonna draw blood—DRAW BLOOD
Whatever I do
Won’t be enough
You deserve to die
You d**k s**k**g p**k
When you think I’m through
Ya don’t get a vote
I’m gonna rip off your b***s
And shove em down your throat
Gonna draw blood….
When you start to cry
Is when I’m not gonna quit
Don’t disrespect the game
If you can’t take the hit
Sorry about your pain
Is what I’m not gonna be
And the rest of your sorry days
You’ll wish you never met me
Gonna draw blood…
I’ve been running smack into these old Killer Granddaddies performances.
Man, I’m really starting to miss that stuff…
Here is another favorite from my collection of African art
a Kuba Bwoom mask from the Democratic Republic of Congo. I have many of these that aren’t as old as this one. It was collected in 1970 and was already old at that time. Here’s a bit of the story of this work of art:
“Kuba mythology revolves around three figures, each represented by a masquerade character: Woot, the creator and founder of the ruling dynasty; Woot’s spouse; and Bwoom. Bwoom’s specific identity varies according to different versions of the myth. He may represent the king’s younger brother, a person of Twa descent, or a commoner. Embodying a subversive force within the royal court, the Bwoom masquerade is often performed in conflict with the masked figure representing Woot.”

One of my favorite African art pieces
a masterpiece Songye nkisi figure from the Democratic Republic of Congo—very old and beautiful, in my opinion.

Another blast from the past.
We’ve had quite the journey!From Steve Duin article – 2014
The “good old days” doing a Costco road show
when we were working so hard.…never had a problem working hard for Dave’s Killer Bread.
Looking forward to interviewing the great Paul Wenner when he is in town again.
He is the creator of GardenBurger and a good friend.
Here’s a picture of us from 2014.
