I have obviously been living under a rock, because until this evening, when I went to the site of one of my favorite animators, mogipbob, I never even knew this group existed!:eek:

As a musician, I'm pretty well "up" on music and groups, so how this great group missed my attention, I have no clue.:confused::rolleyes:

Once again, my thanks to Lurkmeister for bringing this guy and talent for putting classic (and current) songs to my attention.

He's a hit on the blog. Sure is.

Thanks

You're a little late here. The band broke up in 1992 and Doug Bennett died in 2004.

Doug and the Slugs played a dance in my res in university in 1984.

Every once in a while I hear one of their songs on the radio, but then, I'm on Vancouver Island.

And that's all I got for D&TS. Oh, I think I have one of their albums in the back bedroom. Champagne and Bologne?

I remember these guys from the early days of videos - this video in particular.

I think it was on Night Tracks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Tracks). I loved that show when it first came out.

Champagne and Bologne?That would be Cognac and Bologna. Still, I think the best title of any of their albums was Music for the Hard of Thinking. Yep, I remember them too.

I also was a big fan of that show hosted by Wolfman Jack! Never missed a show that The Guess Who (another Canadian group, right?) were on!

Midnight Special, wasn' it?

OMG! I MISS those days and playing my drums to Bachman-Turner Overdrive's "Takin Care Of Business"!

"The Live Five" and I had a regular gig at this place right here in Carroll County, out in a pasture, and the rest of the band used to put down their guitars while me and the drums and the audience just kept singin'.

You had to be there, ah reckon! ;)

Thanks, y'all!

Linda Ronstadt was hot.
