The Spurs are my pick for best band in the Boston area. Bostonians -
don't miss 'em. Last time they played the Midway, people were dancing
that I'd never seen move a muscle before. It was a strange roadhouse
scene.

 The Spurs, a Western swing band, are playing at The Midway
 in Jamaica Plain. Haven't seen them, but have heard they're
 big fun. I'm coming to town to pick up some drums, so I'm
 goin'.

The Spurs are wonderful. Not only are they great musicians, the band is
great fun. They don't play out that often, it's definately worth the trip.

Just so you know, you need a car to get to the Midway. Or take a taxi.
It's not in the best part of town.

I think John was actually one of those non-dancers dancing at my last Spurs'
show.  I always complained that the men in Boston never danced. Well, they don't
appear to dance in Nashville either.

[Matt Benz]  Let me guess: they stand around, holding a beer,
staring at the band and nodding along. It's the guy thing to do.

Hey, back in the day, I used to lose serious water weight out on the
dance floor. Up until the last, folks like Sleepy LaBeef could get me
out there for four or five hours. And I was hardly alone. You must've
just been going to the wrong shows.
