Terry Jessee the perennial emcee of the YBA showcases readily admits that he is no bluegrasser, but the crowds love his banter and his long lists of corny jokes. However he is an old fogey, oops, I meant to say old folkie. Well actually he is both an old fogey AND an old folkie (takes one old fogey to spot another you know). At any rate he usually manages to get his guitar and perform some amusing tune or sketch of one kind or another at each show. At the May 9th Showcase he reached back into his bag of folktunes for one that was once very popular and funny, too. "Tie Me Kangaroo Down" manages to include nearly every unusual creature found down under and the crowd loved it. You can probably see it performed on You Tube if you kids are not familiar with it. We can expect to see Mr. Jessee at the fall showcase with something else up his sleeve. There is no telling what the next one will be.
