Welke band houdt het binnenkort voor gezien?Speaking of the holiday season, as it winds down on the
threshold of the new year, we will once again spend those final waning
moments at our traditional New Year's haunt of the past several years, the
Barley House in Dallas. And in the spirit of the New Year and, thusly, of
new beginnings, I wish to tell you of a very significant aspect to this
year-end's festivities: this will be

's last Barley House and, indeed, our last Dallas show ever.
We have decided it's time to stretch some tendons and raze the walls we have built and maintained for so long.
If you had asked Tony and I what we expected to come from our endeavoring
as we began to eak out the first shaky basic tracks to the first
Crow Pot
Pie in Sam McCall's dirty little house on Hickory Street back in 1994, we
would've been bold to have guessed maybe some tuesday night gigs in Dallas.
There's only one thing, in my mind and heart, that could possibly mar
this wonderful four-headed creature that we are about to lay to rest in
formaldehyde slumber, and that would be if all of you, our dearest of
friends, could'nt take part in helping us to put the lid on the jar. It's
a really big jar and will take several people just to lift the giant Sharpie
to label it.
For this, there will be a small handful of occasions. The
first of which is, of course, the NYE show at the Barley, by far our most
hospitable and mothering home in Dallas. After that, the plan is for
maybe three or four shows at some of our other most friendliest of ports in the
midwest, probably sometime towards or around the end of February, and then
of course, a resolute, heartfelt, and final goodbye in the only locale
appropriate for such a thing, the loins from which we spawned,
Denton, TX.
More details on those shows as they become fleshed out. For now, know
that the NYE will be the beginning of the end. So in the words of some dearest
of brethren, Little Grizzly, "Drink with us now until it ends. It's got
to end."
Verily,
Brent David Best,
Attorney-at-Law
