We had about 125 persons at the Inn on the Green on Wednesday night -- from all over the U.S. and the U.K. Four guys from Texas, unknown to the rest of us, walked in saying, "We heard there was a Mott the Hoople party here tonight." For those of you back at (my) home, they're from Kennedale. One guy looked like he was from not only another place, but also another time -- about 1880. He had a handlebar moustache, beard and long hair. He looked the way Brits think all of us in Texas look. I wondered if he had a horse parked outside. Anyway they all wound up on stage chorusing "All the Young Dudes." (I've got to do a better job of thinking video. I should have gotten you a picture of said Texan. I did tell them I was from Cedar Hill. I'm kicking myself for not jumping up on stage with them, everyone was having such a good time). Highlight was our beloved Scotsman Willie singing, or rather kazooing, "No Wheels to Ride" with Billy Oblivion and the Legendary DNA Cowboys -- a song Willie is apparently going to be denied tonight. Here's a pic of Willie's moment and a video of Billy O's band on "Irene Wilde."Thursday, October 1, 2009
Party for MTH fans

Billy O sometimes receives some good-natured leg-pulling for his musical renditions. But I have to say that last night the Legendary DNA Cowboys were buzzing.
ReplyDeleteEven allowing for the fact that the audience was drunk on wine and wisdom, high on anticipation and several pints of Staropramen the music was excellent.
Top marks Billy, the band was spot on. "American Music" and "Irene Wilde" were great. Willie ("No Wheels") from Glasgow got up on stage and accompanied "No Wheels to Ride" on his kazoo, but fortunately the sound engineer turned down his mike.
Good to see everyone there excellent evening to start off Mottober
Didn't know until that night that the drummer, George Butler played with Alex Harvey and Ian Dury. He also has done session work for lots of folks, including Paul McCartney. The guitarist, Brady Anderson, was in the legendary Hollywood Brats.
