Re: Texans and odd hats
Is this a joke? I shot tons of that show. And I was so high/drunk that I was stuck sitting on that tiny stage about an inch from Claude the whole second set. And I met many P1 and 2ers that night. --Matt Cook Ross Whitwam wrote: You know, when The Gourds played at The Rodeo Bar here in NYC not too long ago I couldn't find any "Matt Cook" either. Strangely enough, though, singer-keyboardist David Paich from Toto -- LA-studio faves in the 80's and Randy Newman's favourite band -- was there videotaping the group. He looked very good for his age. More like 20 than 50. I was hoping he'd jump onstage to lead the band in a Gourdsified version of "Way down in Africa", but he confined himself to filming the band and drinking Bud.

At the Gourds' NYC show the bearded guy from Toto was filming the show. I know. I saw him. Holy shit, yer right! I just checked out a Toto webpage, and the guy I *thought* was Matt Cook is actually Toto's David Paich. All right, Mr. Paich, now that you've been outed, what the hell are you doing tryin' to infiltrate the alt-country community?--don

Re: Texans and odd hats
Austin Texas Gourd Kevin Russell got his 'odd hat' stolen back stage over in Europe. He didn't wear it on stage; it was only for practical, everyday use. --Matt Cook So does Matt Cook exist? Or is he a publicist's creation? Every time I see the Gourds at the Electric Lounge I ask soundguy Rche if he's seen Matt Cook. he always says yes, but he thinks Matt left for a bit or he went into the crowd. I want to see this man with my own eyes.

I saw him myself last week at the Bare Jr. instore at Waterloo complaining about too much drink from the night before and we compared Doug Sahm cds we were about to purchase. Has anyone else seen that Crazy Cajun recordings on Edsel? It's a two cd set and I have listened to it once. So anyway yes he does exist. Jerald
Texans and odd hats
Just retuned from Europe where one of my artists , David Gogo, was touring a number of festivals and show with Guy Forsyth. One of his band members was seen sporting a lovely cat hat. Not a racoon - a cat. His head gear, needless to say, got a lot of attention. At the risk of upset certain cat fanciers on the list I'd say that was one damned fine use for a cat. Doug

Neat - except he should maybe consider a dog hat next time...That way, if the band ever tours in China, the rest of the dog won't go to waste.
