Kevin Russell of The Gourds, too (Beaumont). I wouldn't call that East Texas, though.

The East Tennessee Contigent Expands (Was: Re: The JudyBats (family tree))
Howdy, Okay, yes, this thread died a week ago, but I'm hopelessly behind in my P2 mail. (Heavy work load + heavy traffic on this list = no real possibility of ever catching up) At any rate, I just wanted to take a quick minute to say "Howdy" to Scott Carpenter who chimed in on 1/29 in the Judybats mini-thread. Scott apparently lurks here and I hope he'll have the opportunity to be more active among us-- Lord knows we need more East Tennessee voices on this here party line. Scott, by the way, is also a volunteer DJ at WDVX. He hosts two great Thursday night shows -- "Hillbilly Fever" featuring classic country from the Bristol Sessions to the early 1970s, and "Swing Set" featuring western swing, hillbilly boogie, etc. Scott also oversees the station's web pages at www.wdvx.com, so drop by and look around the virtual camper. Like me, Scott has a real paying job in downtown Knoxville, so I don't know how much time he has for participating, but hopefully he'll lend a voice from time to time and maybe post a playlist or two. So now, betwixt Rob Russell up in Johnson City, Scott and me in Knoxville, the East Tennessee contingent now numbers three. Pretty soon, we'll be able to take on the Nashvegans in hand to hand combat. Of course, we're probably nowhere near as tough as the Music City Goddesses, so we may just have to pick on the Ohio contingent instead. Word is they're pretty wimpy. g Take care, Shane Rhyne Knoxville, TN [EMAIL PROTECTED] NP: Caffeine in my system...
