    "An Assorted Cast of Characters" - released 2006.... PLAYBILL.... CAST (in order of appearance).... Jackson – as himself, a noisemaker, button pusher, knob turner. Responsible for all sounds on album, except as noted below..... Perry Drake – as the hard rock country drummer on “Bob Dylan”, “Banks”, “Katie” and “Confetti Stars”. Gained earlier fame as Clark’s dad, “The Determined Fisherman”, and “Van Driver” (where all great drummers get their start)..... Kevin Hollingsworth – as lead guitar player in scenes “Bob Dylan” and “Banks”. Previous roles included “Guitar Tech to the Stars” and “South Austin Peace and Love Choir”..... Mr. Bruce Lawrence – as lead guitar player on “Wish I Could Write Fiction” and “Confetti Stars” skits. Leads double life as an accountant, and triple life as a swell guy (I mean, just look at him, on his Brucifer page)..... Dawn Biega – as the cellist in Act 7, “Caroline”. Was the only one on the set allowed to carry a bow, as she is classically trained and licensed in that area.
