I was talking to some friends about Ben Folds. One of them said, "Ya, this guy with an accordion opened for him! He was crazy!"
I said, "Ya, that was Corn Mo!!! He's amazing!"
If you've ever seen Corn Mo perform, you know who he is! He had a couple years where he was Ben Folds' opening act. (And if you know me, you know I LOVE Ben!)
My personal favorite Corn Mo song is "Hava Nagila Monster."
I've seen numerous Corn Mo performances, basically because I've seen Ben so many times! One performance, I remember, Corn Mo was playing his accordion, and had a cymbal on the ground in front of him. He tied a drum stick into his shoelace and would hit the cymbal with it. That was awesome!
For some reason, Corn Mo has been on my mind since that conversation a week ago, so, I thought I would make that public.
And this is a random memory from Pechin!
Check out these great pics of Corn Mo performing at Dixon Place as part of the Lower East Side Music Festival.
