Jody Kruskal: The Goose Is Out! The Old Nun's Head, 15 Nunhead Green, SE15 3QQ. Friday 14 Nov 7.45pm. ? 7 on the door.

Floorspots welcome



Jody Kruskal sings vintage American songs and play tunes on the Anglo concertina. He is from New York City, yet performs regularly in the UK.


His concerts offer a warm and engaging solo presentation of traditional and popular American songs from yesteryear. From witty and humorous ditties to songs that explore the depths of the human condition, his singing tells American stories that are hilarious, gritty and true? stories of train wrecks and wrecked marriages, death row convicts and lonesome lovers, heroes, swaggering braggarts, lazy slackers and slapstick fools. Plan to join in on the chorus.


His love affair with the concertina goes back thirty years. He often plays at local New York contra dances with a number of bands. He has played extensively for morris and sword teams and also many Playford dances in NYC.


........................................


?What a refreshing sound!? ? Sing out!


?Brilliant concertina player? ? Vin Garbutt (see, he agrees with us!)


?Technical fireworks? exceptional skills? very exciting playing? he?s able to make the anglo-concertina sound like a mouth organ? bending and blurring notes, so that his playing could never be mistaken for that of an English or even Irish player. ? ? Rod Stradling, Musical Traditions


?Jody is an Anglo concertina virtuoso from the USA with a joyful, energetic & distinctive style; he?s a master of American contra dance, old-time and music-hall. He?s a fine singer. He writes stonkingly good tunes, too.? ? Lewes Saturday Folk Club

    • They've left all kinds of things in my garden including gardening gloves and shoes, not to mention scavenged food and packaging. Once they left an unopened vacuum pack of smoked trout, the next day some pita bread. All a bit biblical.
    • From memory foxes only became a regular sight in the 90s, the attached article says they first appeared in the 30s becoming far more common in the 80s.  Apparently, whilst we think that urban foxes live longer than rural due to their 'easy' life few will make it over the age of two.  In towns they are far more crowded than their natural habitat where they are more territorial. I've never seen foxes and cats fighting but once saw two cats squaring up to each other and a watching fox went up and butted its head against one of the cats.  There's a video on youtube of a cat and fox facing off when the cat is eating outside, but it wont let me embed on this post.  Get too close and I'll scratch you. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/15/urban-foxes-are-they-fantastic-or-a-growing-menace My main issue is leaving things out like gardening gloves and they go or are shredded.  One stole a bag of bird food in front of me, took it next door, shredded the bag and then left it.  
    • I was trying to remember when Franklins moved to Lordship Lane from Walworth Road where it was combined with an antique/bric a brac shop. Mid 1990s, first wave ED gentrification?
    • Hello, I lost a babies blanket between Tessa Jowell and the Picture House on Lordship Lane 😞It is teal colour with the name Cillian embroidered on it.  If anyone sees/finds it please let me know.  Thank you!
