THIRDBIGLIE

                                 (early 90s)
The 3rd Big Lie

A really good band that I heard rehearse in New York.  Country
influenced rock, but not rockabilly... maybe they sound a
little like The Movie Stars.    

Kath:
A great voice, a great person.   She also plays bass.
Serious women wear Doc Marten's.  

Randy: 
Kath's husband.  Dangerous to let a person who enjoys being
obnoxious pick up a guitar.  Does awful renditions of
"Blackbird", with mistakes that must be intentional because they
disappear when he plays lead in the band.  I recommended
Heinlein's: "Have Spacesuit Will Travel" to him.  He and Kath
both got into it.

Jamie:
The song-writer/drummer.  "Thank you for corrupting my 
band.  They keep telling me to read Heinlein." 

Michael: 
At first I was worried that he didn't take my sister's
criticism very seriously.  Then I worried that she nags him
too much.  Realization: maybe they're perfectly matched.
He plays pedal steel guitar.  Writes stuff of his own, but
not for third big lie.

Now I've got the songs off their demo tape running through
my head ("Darling, I'm older than you,/Let me be your first
mistake...").

By the way, they tell me that "The third big lie" is really
"I promise not to come in your mouth."
