Damaskas

I really wasn't sure to put this thread, so if it's in the wrong section, I am sorry. Damaskas of course was a regular on Dr Demento's show in the 70s and 80s.... I've heard a few of his songs and some snippets here and there. If you have never heard any songs by Damaskas, here are a few which give you an idea of his sound:

Spoiler:
A certain accordion playing guy is featured in 2 of the above songs..
Any thoughts on Damaskas, or the rest of the Dr. Demento crew for that matter? (Musical Mike, Sulu, Etc.)


Once again, if this is in the wrong section, :sorry:

I've met Musical Mike twice now. Alas, he no longer plays his instrument, although he does still own it. :P

Sulu is awesome. Her songs are so simple and fun. I wish Damaskas would release his stuff, but he is reluctant, and I believe hard to get ahold of. BArnes and barnes are also quite awesome, really would like another new album from them

It's an important life skill, for sure.

That's awesome, but I'm sure your skills don't match up to Musical Mike's. He's one of the greatest in the art of hand farting.

We should meet up sometime.

Anyways...

How is Musical Mike doing, Helen? Any particular reason he "gave up" the art of manualism?

At this point in his life, I don't see why he wouldn't mature past it...

That would be a fun thing to see happen again.
