A mid to late '70s work called "Have Moicy!" that was a collaborative
effort between Michael Hurley, Jeffrey Frederick and the Clamtones, and a
Rounders offshoot called the Unholy Modal Rounders includes some
of the most memorable songs I have ever heard. (It was re-released
on CD by Rounder Records a few years ago.) Also, some of the Rounders
were at one time in the Fugs, the great underground rock group.
Definitely, I could see TRP associating with these guys.
P.S. I am using a new mail program, so please forgive if this message
comes through screwy.
