20 Dec 08 - 11:44 AM (#2520657) Subject: RE: Small Potatoes From: GUEST,CupOfTea with no cookies at work I love these folks!!! I've watched this duo go from good to great to WOW over the years. Since I usually got to see them once a year, the intensification of their skill and range was very evident. In a city known for singer-songwriters of skill, their originals hold up well as does their interpretations of a HUGE range of covers. From Ewan McColl's Terror Time to The Berryman's delightfully goofy Double Yodel (which I had the chance to hear them do during their debut at Kerville nearly a decade ago) to western swing, they pull it all off as if each style were the only thing they do. If you have a chance to see them in person, DO! If you can't, well, make do with U Tube & then buy some of their albums! Joanne In Cleveland |

The Spud people are great favorites here in Ithaca, where they appear at least once a year on the Bound for Glory live concert radio show. In fact, one of their recent CDs is basically a BFG show - three 30 minute live sets with their great chat and songs. Very warm and engaging people. -psg |
