      They're siblings! lol. However, I agree it's still pretty sussy with the cheek and nose kisses: 0:43, 1:07, but it does makes these parts more sensible: 1:52, 1:55, 2:21, 2:50, 2:54 All in all, a little bit of sus is worth it for the savings on production costs, esp if reshoots are needed.

    Incredible! Pokey has again drawn a line between the fields we know and those beyond. But, we all have to ask, who is this sorceress who so effortlessly walks between all the worlds? How could anyone be simultaneously so mischievous and transcendent? It must be some trace element within the local supply of drinking water...

      There's so much talent out there. You have to be young and hip to really see some of it. Straight life, working your eight hours, and a partner and kids kills it. You really need the chance to move around, get high and enjoy life. Pokey is sure something. The video for Pokey's Silent Movie will bring you to tears if you can still do that.

    I first heard Mr. LaFayette on Prarie Home Companion and today in honor of the 4th of July, I decided to look him up on my Kindle. After watching the RUclips video of "Something In The Water", I am now a life long fan because his looks and sense of humor in the video match his music and voice perfectly. Now I plan to send the video of this song off to my 3 adorable son-in-laws for them to enjoy as well. Thank you! Dr. Nancy

    How can this artist have so few subscribers. The songs are truly upbeat and entertaining.
