Minnesota has always had very good music scenes, it seems like to me, wittness Husker Du, The Replacements, Prince, and Bob Dylan among others.....no exception was their 1960's garage scene, the Castaways, the Trashmen, the Hombres, etc......of course it would be WAAAAY too easy to have any of those guys here, so of course we get another generous sampling of obscure-o's......this is a pretty good set. Couple of these MIGHT ring a bell with you guys, Dale Gregory & the Shouters, The Boss Tweads, The Rave-Ons, and Sting Rays all turn up on some other sets, The Stillroven gives us a cool "Not Your Stepping Stone", and lesser-knowns such as the Fabulous Depresssions, The Stompers, and Kama-del-Sutra.
mentioned before)......I atteneded my firt Vikings game in 1973, at Cincinnati, and, no kidding, they had NEVER ONCE in the history of the franchise, been shut out......guess what?

I am preparing a Vikings blog to (hopefully) be ready football season, with tons of my personal
memories about all things Viking, if I get it ready I will be sure and pimp it on this site, as if you care!
