Warm Patter for a Hot Platter



"Old rockin' chair’s got me…why didn’t you tell me about the crack in the seat?...."

Yes friends, it's our old pal Bill Barner who we met a while back with his hee-larious mirth-quake Trolley Bar Party, recorded live in Ft. Wayne Indiana (so you KNOW it's quality stuff). Today's was recorded in Fort Lauderdale, no club named (though the liner notes say he played regularly at Pal's and the Bahia Cabana Motel, so take your pick).

As I said for the first Bill Barner album, I find these live nightclub act recordings irresistible, but there's really no reason to listen more than once.

Bill Barner's Warm Patter for a Hot Platter - Duo Records D-1 (sorry about the skips on the beginning of side 1!)

I made a separate cut of Bill's medley of Waiting for the Robert E. Lee and Swanee for your immediate iPod listening needs:





Looky! Autographed!! Sadly, Bill's once thriving Dakota Ranches pheasant business (see liner notes) seems to be a thing of the past.
