All names that I recall. Weird thing was that Balcones Fault actually got a record deal, released an album, then disappeared. We wrote a feature story about that for Buddy magazine. Thought they were gonna hit it big.

They had a big agency, William Morris, I think, behind them.

Thank you for the frame of reference. When I lived in Austin, all these names were all floating around in the air! This was helpful!!

Michael, What about Alvin Crow and The Pleasant Valley Boys? Over 50 years playing at the Broken Spoke. I can’t recall another band who has been together that long.

Great band. Opened for Springsteen in '74 and, by the crazy response from the Dillo crowd, made him wonder what the hell he'd gotten himself into. But who do I replace? There can be only one band of the year (sometimes two). Let me think about it.
