Anybody out there heard of a band called NRBQ? They're an interesting case because they've been around forever with about ten albums and thousands of live shows under their belt, but it seems that relatively few people know about them. The piano player t

Sorry. As I was saying, the piano player Terry Adams is godlike. You would have to see him in action to know why. (Does anyone know where he gets all those incredible shirts?) He plays a Hohner clavinet through Fender twin reverb amps and it sounds like an electric guitar. Surely someone has heard their classic "Me and the Boys"? As well as writing wonderful songs of their own, they have a penchant for finding oldy-but-not-moldy goldies. I could go on and on, but it's not the kind of thing that can be written about too easily. Comments? (Does anyone know where I can find a copy of "Workshop"?) Daddy-O, I love it!!!

The piano player Terry Adams is godlike. NRBQ? (for New Rythym and Blues Quartet (or Quintet depending on the Album)) You bet! I saw them about three weekends ago here in Chicago. I've got a few of their albums, but this was the first time I ever saw them live. DAMN HOT SHOW! Terry Adams stole the show (and he did have a wild shirt on). Also, between songs the group tarred and feathered a cabbage patch doll, much to the audience's enjoyment. To anyone who has never heard this band, pick up an album or two if you ever get the chance. Check out the song "Rocket #9". My favorite...
