Jeff and Diane of The Four Directions perform “Lonesome Cowboy Burt” at the Bolton Street Theater in NewCastle, Australia – complete with trumpet and harmonica solos, as well as an improvised tap interpretation. I kid you not. Personally, I don’t know whether this cover belongs as one of the best, or worst FZ covers I have ever heard. They certainly deserve marks for nerve and enthusiasm, though. For bookings or info please contact their agent [ jeje-Management@good-craft.com], or contact Diane [tapsolo@gmail.com]. I dedicate this post to Gail.
Very surreal. Who do you think would have gonged them first, Jaye P. Morgan or Jamie Farr?
I enjoyed the yodel and the trumpet, but I just wasn’t convinced that the voluminous silken pantaloons Diane gestured to at the appropriate point in the lyrical proceedings were actually authentic ‘cowboy pants’ – and that spoilt it a little for me.
HaHa! Nice one. I thought at first they were going to do a Beefheart style of the song due to the way she was playing her harmonica!!!
They should have done the ‘Swaggart’ version of “Lonesome Cowboy Burt” – now that would have earned them some extra points with this viewer!!!
Colaiutesque charlestoning in the intro: the time is 3/4 but he play it 4/4 🙂

Ha!
I’m not sure, but I know when it’s time for “Gene, Gene The Dancing Machine”! 🙂
GONG!
“Sit BY my face?”
Now that is a clean version.

So i’m not the only one who heard this example of self-imposed censorship…
I enjoyed that–i think–can i have my six minutes back now?
Holy mackerel! Well, I guess there’s something to be said for… No, wait, there’s nothing to be said for this. I just hope no one paid to see this ‘performance’. I for one will not be able to sleep tonight. God help us all.
