His agent loved Charle's band called "Kil Howlie Day (HowLe, not Howie). When ever Andrew came to town, we go see him. He played by himself with a loop pedal. He would play small measures, recording each of them so that they played at the same time, building each song while he played guitar, violin, glockenspiel, and sang. <br /><br />My husband does something similar when he plays solo. He is doing a blog where he writes, records, and mixes a song per week for a year. He is on week 36 of 52.<br /><br />You can find the blog here:<br />www.charlesallison.orgKateAhttp://charlesallison.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-52997790431878638172010-05-21T18:02:06.248-04:002010-05-21T18:02:06.248-04:00Beach party Vietnam, surfin' with the Viet Con...Beach party Vietnam, surfin' with the Viet Cong, cookin' hot dogs with napalm, oh beach party Vietnam!<br /><br />Awesome.

Walked down that street the moose walks down in the opening credits. It was quite a tourist draw, even years after the show ended.<br /><br />Coolest thing about NE is that it didn't just swoop down on a small town for filming every year and wreak havoc, then leave. The show made a commitment to the town. They put a lot of $$ into the infrastructure of the town, helping systems like the public schools on a long-term plan.Spring, Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08360023543278024154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-67711454827818146232010-05-21T12:47:15.675-04:002010-05-21T12:47:15.675-04:00ABB- yeah, surprised me, too.ABB- yeah, surprised me, too.Grumpy, M.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09858110332436246760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-37115049365681267312010-05-21T12:45:10.387-04:002010-05-21T12:45:10.387-04:00"Bitchin' Camero" is my favorite Dea..."Bitchin' Camero" is my favorite Dead Milkmen song. <br /><br />P.S Odd that you get a lot of questions about your musical tastes.Albinoblackbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15222730484450544498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-86565339247262271042010-05-21T12:34:30.955-04:002010-05-21T12:34:30.955-04:00Trip down memory lane!
