NRBQ Classic or Dud

man, I used to describe Terry's style as Jerry Lee Monk, but you can't beat that Sun/Sun remark…

I lived in Louisville from year 0 to 18, so I had a lot of pride in the 'Q. One day, at the shit telemarketing job I had the summer before I went o college, I looked over at the red-faced alky hippie who was sitting across from me, and realized it was Steve Ferguson. The lunch breaks at this job were suddenly fascinating for me, although he was unaccustomed to being around teenagers who knew who he was and then pestering him at whatever job he found himself taking…

I'm a Spampinato fan. A song like "Still in School" is like...thank goodness someone honors the Lovin' Spoonful tradition.

Jerry Lee Monk! Hell yeah. And some of their most inspired work was with Steve Ferguson---an excellent example is well described here:
...all funked up and frenzied. It’s hard to identify each note among the slurs and bends, but by my count he manages in those four seconds to play at least twenty-four of them. Ferguson called himself a blues player with a country right hand—meaning he naturally pulled out the blue notes, the bends and slides and double-stops, but syncopated the picking rhythm in the style of the old-time classic Nashville or Memphis sound. If you listen with this in mind you’ll understand what he meant; although over the years he would venture widely and experiment with about every imaginable genre of music, the sound and style here remained his signature, the opening lead into “Flewzy.”

Also, for instance, his choice and treatment of a Vacation Bible School fave, as heard on the box.

Hey C Grisso: I went through Scraps and RC Cola and a Moon Pie (more or less Workshop) since I'm curious what tune you mean but I can't figure it out…I don't hear the parallels between Feat and the 'Q…

can you gimme some more indications of what you remember?

Tonight for the first time in three years Scott Ligon returned to our local dive bar/burger joint with the rest of NRBQ (minus Terry Adams) for a set of '60s rock. Beatles, Byrds, Bob Dylan, Chuck Berry, Burt Bacharach, even a few things that didn't start with B, like the Sir Douglas Quintet and Sun Ra and Johnny Cash and Gram Parsons. A good time was had by all.
