Knit to This: Boogie On, Vulfpeck
Dear Ann,
You and your sons have gone and done it. You’ve made a woman in her late 50s into a Vulfpeck superfan. Late nights, all typed out, I find myself on YouTube, looking for an endorphin lift as reliable as Back Pocket. It’s been a long time since the opening bars of a song have me quite so happy. (It was ABC by the way. Every time. Pure joy.)
For your Saturday knitting pleasure, you could do a lot worse than dialing up Vulpeck on YouTube and letting the videos roll. Just go ahead and PLAY ALL. Anything with Antwaun Stanley is fantastic: start with 1612.
As a child of the 70s, though, imagine my joy at discovering this Vulpeck cover:
Live on the radio. Damn.
PLAY ALL.
Love,
Kay
Wow…thanks for a great start to the day…better than my coffee! Now off to meet a friend for coffee (still essential part of the day) /knitting and get this song on my playlist! It’s amazing how music can change your day
With all due respect to Stevie, I may like this cover even better than the original. I wonder how the band members would feel if they found out the have a bunch of nerdy (in my case, at least) 50 something year old knitters as part of their fan base?!
Great recommendation! For a little more funk, try Turkquaz!! They should get you moving.
Okay, off topic but are the Estonian mittens gone already?
They’re gone–flew out the door.
Good question! I’ve tried several times.
Thanks for the recommendation! I like learning about “new to me bands”, and Vulfpeck does not disappoint. What a great start to a Saturday. It almost makes me want to get up and do chores! Almost.
THIS TOTALLY MAKES MY DAY. I LOVE VULFPECK! VULFPECK FOR PRESIDENT (AFTER CLARA PARKES’S TERM I MEAN).
Vulfmom here…60 years old and mom to Vulfpeck bass player Joe Dart. He was born funky!!
OMG Abby! That is so fantastic. My sons are huge huge fans. Congratulations on raisin’ ’em funky!
Welcome, Vulfmom! Joe seems to be having a lot of fun. So talented.
Abby … you did a great job! He is a treasure. Of COURSE, his mom is a knitter.
VULFPECK is the best!
Thank you! Great start to Saturday.
Grooving to Vulfpeck, and I’m PAST my fifties. Thanks for sharing. Boogie (and knit) on.
Wow! This is funky fun!!! Lifted my spirits! But…Can’t knit to this, though… waaaay to busy snapping my fingers, tapping my feet…boogie on!!!
Y’all. Ryan Montbleau https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gBzI0EMsBEQ
