Would "Uncle Cracker" count?

I love the ironic "Follow Me" song

also lots of good band names within GL tunes...Wild Strawberries, etc...hmm, wonder if the Strawbs would qualify http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

Funny you should mention the Strawbs. I had never heard of them until we booked them (at least the acoustic trio part of them) to play for our concert series in November. My understanding is that one of the original founders is still leading the pack. I've gone from never hearing of them before, to reading their name all over the place http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

hey, are you guys making these up? lol... this has kinda turned into a quiz, eh (so i knew lsh would add to the fun and eventually turnip http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif)

speaking of real or not band names (for more fun): http://ideaexplore.net/ron/bands/index2.php

janice, yeah, i was going to go see them 2 years ago at Hugh's Room (same place as GL Tribute) but David Cousins was still recovering from a spill...i think you've made a great booking, goodluck! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif i'm a longtime fan but they're not everyone's cup of tea ...or bowl of cherries
