I was not there when they made this at “Joe’s Dome” a geodysic south of Columbia, MO. Was there for a few late night live privates/after bars b4 and afterwards. Knew the harp player, at the time, with red sockcap Paul Webber, from some good organic farming work together. I was 25 yrs older than most, but can say that nothing bad or scary ever happened to the youngun’s despite their wildness. Lots of good foods and hugs if anything went wrong.

I know they were not cool, as not really punk or new wave. Kinks, Who, Small Faces were out of favor in ’78. But he was also really accomplished at playing Motown soul. Paul Weller could actually play lead and rythym on his Schecter at same time, but the bass ties it all together in a 3-piece.

I met Pokey about 5 years ago when he was wearing a pin stripe suit. Must have been all of 5’5″ tall 120 lbs soaking wet with sweat. Nobody was too interested in his music at little blues bar, even tho spossedly a retro crowd. Cupl weeks after he signed the only Cd he sold that night, he’s on Letterman. I grew up watching Leon Redbone and Steve Martin on SNL. Maybe this is what pre-Dixieland sounded like in bars and on steamboats? The greatgrandmother of rock’n’roll that was birthed from Storytown NOLA…
Gotta love the instrumentation.
