For those not familiar with the late Mr. Snakefinger aka Philip Charles Lithman...

...some tunes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0niXaLW89zo << interesting stuff, this << Cover of a Kraftwerk tune
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Joo7potaDh8 << It gets better with this << an "outsider" artist having it in control--I like this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXV2UWiUeqI << Truly odd vid--not for every taste.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmKLLnqwVEI << Good guitarist--this to me is jazz or closely jazz-esque...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDMbito8Euw << ...or is it the Blues taken to a wholly different place? Your call.


BONUS 1: As befits specialist material, this is highly prized with Usual Suspect prices to match. Thus, this full album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89wdf-3SU3E
BONUS 2: An hour + in Berkeley Square before a presumably well-tuned audience. Prog rock fans might want to give this a listen. : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkWAJ47Z1_I
