not WT

i was there and about pee'd my pants seeing jay jump on stage for windfall. though i'm about 99% sure whiskeytown didn't open. and looking at the setlist, since bap kennedy and 6 string drag joined the encore, probably not WT. i did see the late R.L. Burnside after this show ended at BB's Jazz Blues...

louvin brothers "satan is real" - found in a local record store in decent condition. i was happy because the ebay auctions were always out of control expensive.

Freddie Friction, local St. Louis drummer and spoon player and owner of Frederick's Music Lounge, refers to Stag as a meal in a can - Steak Taters And Gravy. That's good enough for me.

you gotta earn it...
