This week's episode of "Hunkered In The Bunker" finds us sharing Easter Sunday with Bernsteinn. It is a real classic episode of the Bunker for many reasons. Here are some just of the necessary boxes it ticks to establish itself as a "classic". First, there is a great mix of songs...new and old, popular and deep cut, originals and covers, topical and completely random; Next, there are a lot of extended and reimagined versions of songs, unique to the specific performance; Then there are great sequences of not only songs but also songs and stories that create mini suites throughout the show(for example, the gorgeous chain of songs by Woody and Leadbelly) lending an almost theater like feel to the show(there is even an "intermission" on this episode). Finally, Dan is chatty and beautifully all over the map...From encounters with both the Easter Bunny(who is a little fed up, and understandably so) and Lightnin' Hopkins to pondering the immense satisfaction derived from mastering "The Claw" to the EPIC dissection of Johnny Cash's "One Piece At A Time"(referred to below as a Tutorial/TED Talk version). We even get the ever ellusive (esp in the times of Lulu's Hoover-esqe obscenity fine leveeing reign) "No Missing Link" when after an F-bomb was already dropped in passing, Dan kicks into the illustrious song like a Sandinista. However, the gravity of the event must have brought him to his senses and he wisely delivers a scrubbed version, saving himself the terror of Lulu's wrath. Also of particular note(sentimentally of course) is the warm interactions between Dan and Larry...There were no cracks in the veneer yet, no bootleg caviar, no boro trading corruption scandal, Maron hadn't yet stuck his nose in Larry's affairs... just the simple halcyon days of the Bunker. So sit back and enjoy. and as always...stay hunkered
