Here's my second post. Check me out! Postin' like crazy! Whoo!! Okay, seriously now. Mark's been tellin' me about this club that isn't a club thing for a while. I'm game. I'll just be random as all get out here, but I'm gonna list my favorite Springfield,MO guitar players: Bill Brown (Misstakes, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Bluesberries), Donnie Thompson (Skeletons, Morells, Robbie Fulks, lots of other cool albums), Ty Tabor (King's X), Mark Curtright (half a Bransonite/Springfieldian during the early '90's), Brian Coffman, and Jimmy Frink (both of Fools Face). Having been a bit of a rounder throughout this big land of ours, I've seen lots of bands in a lot of towns but I've never quite seen the caliber of players, both as technicians and showmen, as those that abide in (or have in the past) that old Queen City. I should put Dave Wilson (who you've seen posting on this site) in there too, but he plays so many dang things well, it'd be hard to say just guitar.
I was a Springfieldian from '90-'94 and am proud to have been. Have a website at www.jeffgrahamsongs.com/ that has some of the '4-state' sound on a page called "Music of My Friends."
I liked Mark's listing of groovy jobs from the past. I try like hell to scare my students at school with scary jobs from my past but it never really works, so far as I can see. I'll just give my penultimate, and it was in Springfield. I got to work at a place that cleaned out barrels full of milk and/or curds and whey (sic?). These lively, halfway house sorts would literally throw you the used milk barrels (same barrels as oil drums), you caught them, then stacked them 2-3 high, all day. When you didn't catch them fast enough, the man-beasts would commence to yelling at you, "Move it up, pretty boy!" "Pretty" consisted of having at least 6 teeth. I hope this story, more than any others, inspires goals of higher education in my new young son.
I hope I get a chance to play with the Rosebud Club sometime down the road. Am trying like heck to write new songs. Have a few, not much.
I play in a groovy little trio called The Painkillers nowadays. We've been together for about 2 years. Rockpile, NRBQ, and the Skeletons/Morells are our models, if we have any. Our bass player's real good and travelled, having played with Steve Pryor during his major label jab, and Dwight Twilley, among others (most recently, Brian Parton and The Nashville Rebels). The rock and roll side of what I do gets covered in this unit. The other stuff gets played in a variety of places: my living room, my garage, and ye olde basement. Shouldn't be complainin', I knew what I'd be leavin' when I left Nashville in '97.
Well, here I go, digressin'. Music, mainstream anyway, is at an all-time scary-ass high in lows, in terms of integrity, ethics, sensibility, sense of its own history, and devotion to true songwriting. The industry has truly won, hands down. All we have to do is sit back and watch it eat itself. C'mon in, pull up a chair. Jeff G.
P.S. Brian Keiser, the littlest biggun of 'em all is looking for you.
