Andrew Bird, and Puppets!
He fiddles, he plays guitar, his name has become ubiquitous with the words "professional whistler," and he gets WAY to much press at this here blog (to the three or four readers that read this blog). And now he can add puppetmaster to his resume. Or at least, an associate of puppets, namely Jack of Jack's Big Music Show.
The program is far too cool for school, and cooler than you too. It features guest appearances from the likes of Jon Stewart, and Chicago's own Andrew Bird, who made an appearance on June 21st as Dr. Stringz.
According to the TV Guide listing (cuz I didn't see it), Jack breaks some other character's brand new hammered dulcimer, and turns to our famous fiddle foolin' friend (or just FFFF as he's known on the streets), Dr. Stringz (or Andrew Bird) for a little help. Because I haven't actually seen the episode, I've been living squarely on the edge of my seat since hearing about this. Will Dr. Stringz be able to fix the dulcimer? Have we EVER seen Andrew Bird (or FFFF or Dr. Stringz, if you will) anywhere near a hammered dulcimer before? The suspense is killing me.
So I'm hoping that SOMEWHERE out there, SOMEONE has a kid that TiVo's this show on a regular basis and can YouTube that mutha out there in the netiverse! Until then, I'll leave you with a track from the internet audio archive by Mr. Bird (I can only hope he'll one day perform under the monicker Dr. Stringz).
