A buddy of mine saw Slaid last night in San Marcos, Tx, backed by a band which included Gurf Morlix on guitar. News from Slaid includes a new URL address: <<http://www.slaid.com>>; and a new album produced by Gurf which he is hoping will see the streets by September. On another note, and I hate to pass on what might well be a rumor, Slaid played Walser's "Cowboy Ramsey," as usual, but preceded the song by saying that he had received word that Don was not feeling well lately and had to cut a show or two short. My friend didn't ask for more info, so it might well be that nothing is seriously wrong with Walser, but I thought I'd ask you guys if anyone has any more info.
