Was Scudsy kidnapped?
|
|
false, he was stolen. People are kidnapped, get real. Often, the equipment would stay in the clubs overnight, especially when the clubs were within 10 miles of their home. Scudsy was taken from the Haineburg Inn in December of 1976. He was wearing his favorite pajamas with the red and blue striped sleeves (even though they revealed his cotton biceps). Scudsy was used on many occasions to introduce people backstage.

Do the Fables still play?

Where can I purchase CDs?
|
|
Well, you can't, really. Racky will let you pick out fifteen songs and then burn a CD for you if you can catch him in a good mood. And you offer him a beer. And you successfully answer the following question, "How much you willing to spend?"

|
Where's 'Bad Nuff Boggie'?
|
|
When the site was first put together, each of the fables were asked for permission to put the MP3 versions online. Unfortunately, Dugan did not give his permission. He said, "Since I play professionally, I don't want digital versions of my music out there." Hey, it's understandable.
|
|
What ever happened to 'someone'?
|
|
Everyone wants to know where everyone else is, and what they've been upto. This site originally had login messages to post comments with the idea that people could leave messages, but this mechanism has seen little use. Many people have written emails to Racky to ask about particular people. Now, you can post your email address here and feel somewhat safe that a robot will not scan it into a spam list.
