“After both bands dissolved, members of The Whirligigs and Big Backyard combined forces for a short time. The show that this song is from was recorded in 1994 by Jason Keillor live to 16 track. There’s a really good chance that Leah was at the 400 Bar that night. The song was written by Alejandro Escovedo, one of Leah's favorite artists.
The Whirligigs and Big Backyard both reunited in July of 2012 for a show at the Turf Club. It was the last live music event that Leah attended. It meant the world to us for her to be there, right up front, her smile lighting up the stage more than the stage lights ever could.”

I knew Bob before he was 'Slim'. Then lost touch. Always followed him musically from Buzz Barker and the Atomic Bums to his solo work. I was never much into listening to live music at First Ave or bars so I didn't really get to watch him play and sing. I did see him open for Roseanne Cash once. Take care Bob! clayb
