Boy this takes me back. I loved loved loved Ballad Shambles and Hand of Glory. Doerr, Maye, and the incomparable Bill Anderson rocked my world. And Tom Swingle in HoG rocked that bass. Thanks for bringing this back to me.
Stan was a friend. He seemed to idolize Jim Gordon. Stan talked about Jim frequently and said they were roommates in LA at a point during Stan’s stay on the West Coast. He was the best drummer in Corpus I’d say. Bad Girl is pretty mind blowing considering Stan was 14?, 15 years old when they cut that record. What a tragedy. Good stuff Michael. I missed a lot of that period being on the road.
Did not know about Clara, but she's the woman who jumped onstage and danced to Alejandro & band at C-Boys during SXSW for 'Castanets' and a couple of other songs. Glad to know of the deeper history.
Thank you for introducing me to more music I missed during that era. I love "Dangerous Girl"! I appreciate you including the music clips. Look forward to what you bring next. 💙📚🎶

After being 'introduced' to Clara Que Si in the Mojo Nixon tribute article, it was a fantastic read of Clara's backstory.

Loved Ballad Shambles. Love this memory. Thank you for this sweet nostalgia.
