Great showcase of the Slut Boys, individually and as an ensemble, doing a cover of The Doors' Roadhouse Blues. Bill kills it in his long solos, and is fun to hear recovering from a lyrics mistake.  Plus, there's extra banter at the end that is pure Bill. Wait for it.

Roadhouse Blues/Slut Boys

This is a mashup of banter with the Tallahassee crowd featuring Bill MCluskey, as recorded by the Slut Boys at a gig at Bullwinkle's on February 16, 1986.  We hear a bit of a crowd warmup with a special meditation led by zen disaster Bill. Jim Ballard gets points for his cameo role in the quest for free beer. Donny gets a shout out for his New York City line of rock and roll apparel, Avenue B. Ben, well, he's the quiet one.

Tribute to Superman

In memory of Bill. The Slut Boys were: Bill McCluskey, frontman, guitar & vocals. Jim Ballard, bass & vocals. Donny Crenshaw, drums. Also audacious promotion and performance art, and NYC's Avenue B rockin' apparel. Ben Wilcox, keyboards & guitar. And band refereeing. Or so I hear. All contributed original songs. Thanks, guys, for the music. No apologies for taking liberties after some 40 years. Your legacy has taken on a life of it's own. Just making it clear that no one this important to me will fade away that easily. Love, always, to all of you.

These tracks were recorded at Bullwinkle's Saloon in Tallahassee, FL on February 16, 1986. Except the first, which I hacked together with no actual background in audio mixing.
