I'm afraid that I have to agree with Andrew. The reference book that I have at hand (THE NEW ROCK RECORD) mentions that the Masked Marauders record was done by The Cleanliness and Godliness Skiffle Band. Now, I suppose that it's possible that the members of the C&GSB were the same people who were in The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, but... BTW, I think that The Masked Marauders is a truly inspired answer to the question of what group Toejam Jawallaby played in. I almost died laughing. --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC, Acton-Nagog, MA) UUCP: {decvax|ihnp4|allegra|ucbvax|...} !decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-akov68!boyajian ARPA: boyajian%akov68.DEC@DECWRL.DEC.COM
