More Night Music

One more from that era, three minutes of well-executed entertainment from the great George Fisher: 



That singer, Cavan O'Connor, was with us well into Clinton's second term, The Independent tells his story here.  Cavan had game, I really enjoy his stuffThe Rhythmic Eight are a story unto themselves...for another night, perhaps.

Also, as this has been a source of confusion, the George Fisher above is not to be confused with George Fisher, the lead singer for the death metal band Cannibal Corpse.  This may just be me, but I find their Rancid Amputation a little...dark.  Fortunately, the song has been rehabilitated in the right spirit, and we can all be grateful for that.

O'Connor's signature tune was "I'm Only a Strolling Vagabond".  I cannot find a performance by him on the Internets, so this excellent, though less-spirited version by the great Charles Kullman  will have to suffice.
