some of your selections bring back the ghosts of
the underground FM stations which grew me up
Geremia and Blues Magoos being a couple of them
the river is deep and wide ..

I have seen them in concert several times since 1970/71, met the drummer who testified for my client, 2010 or so, and I have told the story about my brother being a frequent visitor of the Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. La Grange.
Ah haw haw haw haw.
Never heard so much volume and tone, fleshed out music, from 2 guitars and a drum in my life. They sounded like a 5 piece band.
Thanks, joe!

@joe shikspack I faked a cough and cleared my throat, and it came "ah haw haw haw". The judge and bailiff, the drummer on the witness stand, laughed so hard, we had to pause for a few minutes.
Good times!
