Re: Spankers dates...givin' folks what they need
caught the show in Nashville a couple of nights ago, and they were great. I do miss Guy as the frontman, but Whammo has some new songs, and the best part is that they give Stan the clarinet player front stage for about 4 songs now, and it's just amazing. Still funny, new slide guitar player from France that needs to play louder but that seems to fit in well. And Christina's voice is as good as it ever was!! meshel n'vegas

I chatted with Wammo briefly last night (hey, it isn't John Doe on the phone, but you take what you can get g) and he said a second solo CD is in the works, but he's waiting for Mercury to drop him so he can shop it around. I didn't mention it, but it struck me as ironic that one of the few acts that wants to be dropped hasn't been. Bob
Re: Spankers dates...givin' folks what they need
If you're going to Kerrville DO NOT MISS the Spankers there. They always pull out all the stops at Kerrville. Their last performance there received an extremely long standing ovation that convinced Rod to break with his strict protocol and allow the band to play well past their allotted time. If you've been there you know its a major feat to get all the f*olkies hootin' and hollerin' between songs... They are also scheduled to close out this year's Kerrville F*lk Festival on Sunday June 13... the line up for that evening: Kimberly M'Carver (Houston, TX) Lowen Navarro (Los Angeles, CA) Anne Hills (Bethlehem, PA) James Keelaghan (Calgary, Canada) Carrie Newcomer (Bloomington, IN) Mickey Newbury (Springfield, OR) Asylum Street Spankers (Austin, TX) Another interesting evening at Kerrville this year is Sunday the 6th when Kinky Friedman and Ray Wylie Hubbard are both scheduled...
