Thanks man for your friendship,you should have moore rockin stuff from Ted and the talltops cd out on your player,there so many good songs there,reqvest for Knee deep in the blues,regards from The Kingbirds.
Ted Roddy's the RILL THANG, pure and simple, an undiluted, precision-engineered talent. And he's a fellow product of Corpus Christi, which means we share a language few of the rest of you could comprehend. (Wanna make us both giggle like 14 years olds? Just say the words "Count Bella Zarbo." Don't ask!) I have nothing but respect for this man. Bless ya, Teddy! Good to be back in contact with ya!
You're always one of my favorite acts to catch when I'm in Austin. Fact is: you're one of the reasons I started going to Austin in the first place. Really enjoy your stuff!
Hope things are going well and hope to hear you soon.....
Thanks to all you supported the January Elvis Birthday Bash shows! If you attended you got to see our special guest PJ Proby rock the house! What a treat! Watch for new Backwoods Hipster gigs and our debut single coming soon! Peace and aloha! TR
Hey , Ted , Tallest Christmas Wishes to You! I'm still rootin' around for my copy of "Christmas in The Congo" (It's not lost , it's just in one of my fave 45 boxes somewhere.). Happy New Year , and Happy Elvis' Birthday. Wish I could make one of those shows. TCB so mellow , John.
Hi Ted. It's been a couple of years since my last trip to Austin. Remember the gig you had back than at Hole In The Wall, it was quite fun. And of course you played our requests since we came all the way from Norway... We'll be back, hopefully sometimes next autumn. See you then!
Howdy Ho, I heard "Tears on the Table" on the radio the other day, The old Troubadour version, woah, I had forgotten about that little gem. You sounded soooo country. Larupin' I'd say.
Hey Ted
Just got your Album thru the mail & just wanted to say how much i enjoyed it, great songs and pickin, and the bonus of TJ & KP is a real treat!
Cheers
Doug
