Residents and staff at Park West, the assisted living facility at 1703 California Ave SW, about a half mile north of West Seattle High School, were treated today to the honky tonk blues singer and piano man Eric "Two Scoops" Moore of West Seattle. Donning a bright purple sport jacket and black derby, the Boston-born showman performed Elvis, Hank Williams, Sr., a frolicking "Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue (Has Anybody Seen My Girl?)", and some of his own compositions, like "Big Buffet Combo Platter" and "Fat Daddy".
Described on his website as "An amazing keyboard and vocal hybrid of Fats Domino and Randy Newman", he toured and recorded with the late Chicago blues harpmaster, "Earring" George Mayweather and Muddy Waters guitarist, Grammy and Handy award winner, Luther "Guitar Jr." Johnson.
"Two Scoops" refers to the large portions of food he enjoys, and refers to, in one of his songs.
