Thanks for the Info Susan, I'd like to go, but don't think I can
swing it. I almost won tix to go from Alt. radio station here in
LA. Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols always plays a song on his
acoustic, and whistles the melody. If you can guess the song you
win whatever they are giving away. The song was Apache( new it
from the first chord). But I got in right after the person before
me got it.
The Mermen are supposed to be at SXSW also if I can coax the info
outta their yahoo group, I'll post it here.
