that 1 guy, reggie rueffer

speaking of one-man bands, heard bartender/music promoter/hunter s. thompson impersonator extraordinaire billy whitewater wilson on 88.7 ktcu-fm's the good show tonight, talkin' 'bout the demise of the black dog and a show he's got coming up at the wreck room on march 21st (near the end of the line for my fave rawk dump, sigh) with that 1 guy, a kind of bass clef-centric version of the fort's own nathan brown who vocalizes over bass 'n' drum grooves he lays down using a bizarre-looking instrument of his own design called "the magic pipe" and an array of pedal-triggered percussion instruments. billy caught him opening for buckethead a coupla months ago and contacted him to book the gig. last time billy was this excited about an artist it was mark growden, so he's definitely got a track record for pickin' em. should be a show not to miss.

on the very same radio program, reggie rueffer of the hochimen reminisced about going to smu before they had a football team, backing sara hickman on an out-of-control version of the partridge family's hit "i think i love you" while a member of mildred, and touring ireland with charlie pride. he also performed two songs ("the king has been brought down" and "i built my own head") from the new rekkid he just started work on, and hyped his appearance at tomorrow evening's fwac acoustic monday thingy at the wreck, as well as the spot reunion that's skedded there march 2nd. reggie's always worthwhile listening and has been spending more time in the fort of late; a benefit for us, i'm thinking.

here's the vid for spot's "moon june spoon" from back in '95.
