Uncle Pappy Sideshow



    Bad jokes. Good jokes. Endless jokes. The chortle. The chuckle. The kindness. The great big brother. Friend.  Crazy adventures.  VW Bugs and wagons.  Living in his trailer on pristine acreage in Oregon. Just living. The joy of the gig.   Creating an identity and a life. Visited the other side but didn't like it, and came back to us.  30 days in a coma and wakes up to see his oldest son in a devil's suit on Halloween- while other patients yell, "Diablo!"   Big puppets on sticks.  Giant puppets during political rallies.  Friends with Big Bones.  Hanging with harmonica greats. It's the blues, man.  The sad blues and the happy blues.  Niles and Chaplin.  Civil wars and vinyl records.


 
   Two great nicknames, three excellent children. All five full of spirit and personality.  What are you talking about? is worth talking about.  No Bush league this one.  Tinkerer and been tinkered with.  Wonder and fascination of things. Cailin is his best audience. Unique stories never surprise (although sometimes makes you look around to see who is listening)   Beard before Wilson.  Enjoys a good couch.  The beat goes on, thankfully.  Keep on keeping on, Chris!
