No, it's not Excedrin Headache #43, brought on by the latest P2 dustup, it's
just us (us being your Twang Gang) beating the drum for Twangfest 3. We're a
mere seven weeks away from the blessed event--June 10-12--and
Brace yourselves, folks, there'll be a lot more of these, but we (we being your
Twang Gang) want to keep you apprised of all the latest regarding the last
Twangfest of the millenium.
First off, it looks like the Oak Grove Inn is, at least temporarily, sold out--
due to reservations made by two
In an attempt to reverse the faux cowboy "cleansing" of our nation's west
coast--I'll bet you think Roy Rogers and Gene Autry died of natural causes,
don't you?--the Rangers will be singin', playin', eatin', and sleepin' out that

Looks like you early birds got the best rooms, as the Oak Grove Inn, the

Does anyone know if it is possible to find Soft Boys albums anywhere? I
have been searching for a while for anything I can find on CD or LP on the
web and in used record stores and special order stores, but no no avail.
With all due respect to you mad dogs and (one) Englishman, I can't believe
nobody has mentioned El Paso's own Tony Lama. My first pair (black iguana)
were TL's, and I still wear them 12 years later.
For sheer pointy-toedness, though, you can't beat the pair of Chisholms
I've got; you could kill
Sometimes we P2 lifers forget that there are a heck of a lot of you out there
who don't really know the origins of Twangfest, the Twang Gang, etc., so it's
high time to give a little history here.
In early 1997, it was becoming evident that a fair amount of P2-ers were in
bands--good bands, too,
Lest you think your Twang Gang is employing the House impeachment manager
method of news dissemination, we thought we'd better let y'all in on what's
been going on with plans for Twangfest 3 (June 10-12 in St. Louis, as you'll

Had to use that subject line, now that the King of Bluegrass is in the

Believe it or not, I have been told that I don't pimp my band nearly often
