>The Hot Club of Cowtown are doing Happy Hour at the Continental on wednesday >at 6:30PM. I saw them last night and they were amazing. lots of new tunes and >tight as a tick. I saw them a week ago, not knowing anything about them other than the bit of buzz they've gotten here, and was very impressed. Okay, I've had a fondness for Bob Wills-type stuff for years so I had a feeling I'd like them, but I was also skeptical about a three-piece carrying off the material. For the most part, I didn't miss all those extra musicians a bit-- well, there was a couple times I thought a little steel would be nice-- but if the show had been in a less-formal venue I'd have chomped a cigar and let loose with many an "Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh." My only regret was that I hadn't dragged a dozen people with me to the show; they deserved to play in front of more than the 60 folks who showed up.
