    I’ve seen the Toadies a few times way back when. Once I got to see them when a local radio station used to put on “low dough shows”, for $1.05 (they were 105.5fm). Got to meet them and have a couple beers w them before they loaded up their bus and left.

    Good times.

        They were all pretty cool. It was a bunch of fun. One of my friends who was there lived near the dam that created Possum Kingdom Lake which is where the the lead singer spent a bunch of time when he was a kid. It was mostly the two of them swapping stories about PK Lake, which I’ve been to a bunch myself (it’s around ft worth Texas).

        We bought them a couple beers, they bought us a couple beers and they loaded up and left. They signed a bunch of stuff, gave me a CD and a shirt which were both signed by everyone in the band. I have the CD somewhere, the shirt is long gone.
