How can this be?
Just this past minute, Paul and the band on the Letterman show played a Kings X tune as they went to a commercial. They were still playing it when the break was over. How can it be that a band with this kind of influence regularly plays to audiences of a hundred and fifty people or so in bars such as Amos' South End in Charlotte?
It happens that the tune the CBS Orchestra played tonight was the same one the originators were playing in this photo. If you've been to one of their show's, you'll know which one it was. BTW, I took this shot with a point and shoot camera - no telephoto lens. I was standing one body away from the front of the stage. Admission was maybe $10 at most. This is amazing if you're a fan, but has to be frustrating for these wildly talented guys who were named by VH1 as one of the top 100 rock bands of all time.

I knew you'ld get it. It's the only song on which I've seen Ty and Doug stand right next to each other when they play the great ending about which I could also ask with many others, "how can this be?" You are probably one of the few people alive for whom the synchronization seems simple.
Never heard of them - except in your several blog references... but then, you know I've never been much of a music man. Most of my exposure was working for a company called PALS, while standing in a "mail room" - listening to Edgar Winter and CSNY...
Great memories! Great music! Still love it!
