Pappa Chubby

Last weekend Kate (the missus) and I went to "Atlantic Antic" (a street party) on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn mainly cos she used to live there and her old drinking buddies would be at the street party.

It was pretty cool - live music, tons of exotic food, oddballs (this is NY, after all) and so on. And then we sat down at Kate's old drinking hole for a pint to listen to some band. And what a band. "Pappa Chubby" was in town. Check the photos.

Pappa Chubby is a large chap, but a very talented and amusing large chap. I'm no Blues guru but the fat lad could play. He's the guy with the tatts playing lead. The two munchkin twin things are his daughters - they were brilliant. They just chomped corn on the cob and wore balloon hats all day. Most odd. Check the guitar strap with the middle finger extended and a peace sign - cool!

Not to mention that Pappa's not a bad drummer too. And the base guitarist is his wife. Cool as f_ck!
