No O's... I'm a bit off topic here, but I wanted to share one of my favorite current bands...

 

Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band

 

I saw them the first time a few years back at a local club. They're from Southern Indiana, and the band is Reverend Peyton on guitar and vocals, his wife Washboard Breezy... on the washboard of course, and the only drummer on the planet with an endorsement from a pickle company (his tomtom is a pickle barrel)...

Oh, and the bass player... well that would be the Rev's thumb. Watch it! Iswore the first time they had a bass track going or someone in backstage, but nope... it's just the Rev.

Here's the show i saw. It was mostly the same, but I saw it here in Seattle at the Tractor Tavern.

If you like folksy/punky/bluesy/hillbilly music, have a listen. The band comes in about 2.5 min in. There's not a bad song in the bunch.

I like them. Pretty cool band. If they were in the area (northeast OH), I'd go see them.

Location: Jet City		The Rev's an amazing guitar player. I mean aside from his obvious slide skills.

I've seen him do a 'round' with himself with Row Row Your Boat... Seen him do that same song and Yankee Doodle at the same time (yes simultaneously!) as well as Yankee Doodle and Dixie.

The dude blows my mind.

Here's Yankee Doodle and Row Your Boat...
