Bio
.. ..My dear and cherished friends, colleagues, and other somewhat more dubious acquaintances: it is with the utmost verisimilitude of heartful sentimentalism that I bid you--welcome... ..I am, of course, that genteel and gentle-souled, holey-soled, seldom-sober so-and-so the ..Ragpickers .. ladies are calling ..Poor Andy... I may admit myself, with some little pride, a 'man of the streets' --whether I am so much a man of the ..people... I have retained, for your ostensible diversion, as fine a lot of tub-thumping ne'er-do-wells as ever grubbed a nickel--which I say with all due respect. I call these ambrosiated tootlers my ..Dog and Pony Show.., a name which is intended neither to generate inference, nor cast aspersions, upon any persons, animals, or for that matter personable animals--who besides which are mostly chums, so what the Hell? God bless and keep you all! .. ..............The Dog & Pony Show · Thom, Shawn, Self, & Jill .. ...photo: Carly Forbister.... ..Ours, dear friends, is a ..SKIFFLE.. act, in the eminently disremembered ..British.. style, featuring my pained if plaintive renditions of such erstwhile quadrupletime ballads of murder and infamy as I am wont so adamantly to horse-flog. --And as to this ..tramp.. business; of course I realize it doesn't qualify as gainful employment, but what tramp is not merely an ..itinerant.. self-employed person? Besides which I've a MySpace-page, so figure ..that.. on your abacus... And what ..is.. an itinerant person, at that? --indeed, perhaps it is ..you!.. However this is neither an online dictionary nor an abacus, though I daresay the former may prove helpful in regard to the latter....."Poor Andy" indeed! Poor ..people............. ..About the ....One-Take Super 8 Event..:....Curated by Regina filmmaker ..Alex Rogalski.., the ..One-Take Super 8 Event.. is an annual international phenomenon hosted by filmmakers' groups in cities across the continent. Participants receive their single cartrige of super 8 film, directing & shooting their entries in sequence (editing "in the can" as it were) and viewing the completed films only at the Event Screening -- the ..apotheosis.. of high-wire filmmaking!.. ......Poor Andy in "The Wedding Ball".... Esteemed gentleman-tramp Poor Andy, whilst perambulating parkwise, is inadvertently conked on the noggin by a wayward duffer. Upon regaining consciousness, our wayworn protagonist is taken rather aback to find himself engaged in the nuptial ceremony. Fleeing precipitately, our hero is given chase by his righteously piqued bride-to-be. A second concussion, however, is soon to set matters right. An erstwhile diversion indeed!............ ..Aforementioned Conking Incident.. ...... ...."Y' mean ME?!?".... ...... ..An Arboreal Pastime.. ...... ..Regaining Consciousness...... ........Pre-release PROMO EP now available! Please visit ....joshuastanton.com....--your EXCLUSIVE SOURCE for Poor Andy CDs. Songs are also available as Podcasts at iTunes!........Discover the TRUTH about "Joshua Stanton"--visit ....myspace.com/joshuawstanton.... TODAY. Tell your friends--or DON'T!........
