... for the end of the world. Remember kids: it's all fun and games until someone gets hit by an asteroid.
Here is a song by the most amazing bluesman you've probably never hear of: the great Danny Barker performs my favorite rendition of
St. James Infirmary Blues.

Pretty good, innit? This is from his
Save the Bones CD. It used to be hard to find (I had to write to his daughter to order my copy), but now you can usually pick one up from a seller on Amazon.

I just bought the CD on
Amazon from
Louisiana Music Factory. Thanks Bret, for the happy, holiday blues cheer-up.

Thanks, Brett. Really liked this version. Still like
Satchmo's though.
For a somber look at the end of the world, I recommend
God's Song by Randy Newman.
For a something lighter, I suppose
Peggy Lee's 'Is that all there is?'

And here's an
obvious choice.
