Mark's Music Madness, Local Picks: So who else is worth seeing (besides Hank Plank, of course)? Well how about: Billy Kennedy - The best at what he does. Not to mention the only. Jackstraw - Great bluegrass, great guys. "Ma'am, is that the gentleman who threw up on you?" Pete Krebs - An excellent songwriter, lately plays mostly solo or doing 20's jazz on guitars with the Kung Pao Chickens. Lynn Conover - Can't wait until she finishes her record. Often plays with Little Sue. Jim Boyer - One of the nicest people you'll ever meet. A terrific, understated guitarist, singer and songwriter. Freak Mountain Ramblers - Jim, Dave, Turtle, Roger, Paul, Kevin and others. The Questions - I'm not sure if they're playing right now, but they have at least two of the best songs ever. The Bugs - Who needs more than two people. Jackass Willie - A definite must see. Although they've gone "electric", they really haven't. They still kick ass. This list is not complete by any means and is in no predetermined order.
