Yes. The above subject heading is right. My good friends from Uncle Earl have just released their first music video “Streak o’ Lean, Streak o’ Fat”, a bluegrass fiddle tune about dancing, drinking, Mao Zedong’s favorite food, and all sung in Mandarin Chinese. Did I mention there was dancing and chinese? Yes. And all of this got incorporated in Tom Krueger’s vision for their music video, featuring a kung-fu/clogging fight in a chinese restaurant that also may include John Paul Jones, the bass player for Led Zeppelin, as an innocent piano playing bystander. Maybe…
Take a look thru this link. Or just watch it right here, dummy!
Enjoy! Blog it, digg it, favorite it, but at least rate it a 5 and let’s all have a good day, eh? Cheers and Happy Fight/Dancing!

That is some fantastic bluegrass kung-fu. I was just reading about speculative fiction, steampunk, and other out-there literary genres, when I came across this definition of Slipstream:
“…this is a kind of writing which simply makes you feel very strange; the way that living in the twentieth century makes you feel, if you are a person of a certain sensibility.”
kind of like kung-fu bluegrass
