It was this young feller in a white jumpsuit and sunglasses and long sideburns. He sang o.k. But I don't think he ever really amounted to much. I heard he died on the shitter a few years later while eating a banana sammich.

I saw the best party band in the world this weekend. 



All other party bands should bow to them. 

[Buzz Killington]

Was that you dressed as the Indian Chief?

I saw the best party band in the world this weekend. 

No joke, they're a helluva good show. Saw them at a reception last summer in Mobile. Don't think anyone left the dance floor until they shut down... and that was later than most.

The cool thing is they are fun for kids and adults.  I never dance, but I took my kids to see them in Mobile Sunday and everybody got on the floor eventually.  Little kids, grown folks and some ancient crones.  All having a good time. 

The way they transition from song to song without a break is pretty amazing.  The music pretty much never stops.  And you know (and usually love) everything they play.
