THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS INTRIGUED

Nothing starts the day as well as listening to Screamin'Jay Hawkins singing 'I put a Spell on You`, especially when the song ends with him making a lot of chicken noises. Back in the day, nearly 20 years ago, I tried to persuade Doc Shiels to come and record that song with my little musician ensemble (I was going to make the chicken noises) but for some reason or another it didn't happen. What a pity!

Today's Gonzo Track of the Day is (as you might have guessed) from Screamin' Jay Hawkins

*  The Gonzo Daily is a two-way process. If you have any news or want to write for us please contact me at  jon@eclipse.co.uk. If you are an artist and want to showcase your work or even just say hello please write to me at gonzo@cfz.org.uk. Please copy, paste and spread the word about this magazine as widely as possible. We need people to read us in order to grow, and as soon as it is viable we shall be invading more traditional magaziney areas. Join in the fun, spread the word, and maybe if we all chant loud enough we CAN stop it raining. See you tomorrow...

*  The Gonzo Daily is - as the name implies - a daily online magazine (mostly) about artists connected to the Gonzo Multimedia group of companies. But it also has other stuff as and when the editor feels like it. The same team also do a weekly newsletter called - imaginatively - The Gonzo Weekly. Find out about it at this link: http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/11/all-gonzo-news-wots-fit-to-print.html

* We should probably mention here, that some of our posts are links to things we have found on the internet that we think are of interest. We are not responsible for spelling or factual errors in other people's websites. Honest guv!

*  Jon Downes, the editor of all these ventures (and several others) is an old hippy of 53 who - together with his orange cat (who is currently on sick leave in Staffordshire) and a not very small orange kitten (who isn't), puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon, which he shares with various fish. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, his elderly mother-in-law, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus... did we mention the orange cats?
