Hi,

Which issue of Musician magazine has the interview?

Cathy McHugh

>Hi all,
>
>I have just returned from vacation and saw the Connells at the Hurricane
>in Kansas City, and Wow what a show.  The guys had a day off after the
>Minneapolis show, so they had all Monday and most of Tuesday to relax and
>recharge and boy did it show in there performance.  Also, Time Harper was
>back from his stint working with Whiskeytown.  The set list was basically
>the same as Dan Heaton posted for St. Louis, hopefully Art may have this
>information as I don't remember all the songs.  I am sorry Art that i
>didn't know you were going until after I left and did not find out that
>you were there until after you left.  I talked to both Mike and George
>about the article in Musician Magazine and they both were quite
>disappointed in how the article made their relationship sound.  Basically
>Mike felt that the writer had really overstated the conflict to get a
>better story and George said that he knwe Mike did not say what was in the
>story as reported because Mike just is not that kind of guy.  I also tried
>to find out the reason that Mike and David switched stage sides with
>George back in the mid '80s.  If youhave the video which was distributed
>through the list a while back, in the earliest footage George is to the
>right of Doug while he now stands to the left.  They could not remember
>the reason; George thought that perhaps it had to do with him hitting Doug
>with his guitar.  The Hurricane turned into a dance club after the bands
>had finished playing and man was Peele ripping it up on the dance floor.
>
>Far Too Jones opened once again, as they will for all the shows through
>Memphis.  I personally liked them quite a bit, good harmonies and many
>guitars.  They are a bunch of guys from Raleigh who grew up listening to
>the Connells and really get along well with them.
>
>Also, there is another which has just been added for August 2 in
>Minneapolis.  The band will fly there from Memphis and play another block
>party sort of show, although this time without the Smashing Pumpkins being
>there.

>See Ya,
