My high school buddy turned me on to SJ. His dad said he got to see them in concert. He said the band had to stop playing at one point because they were laughing so hard.
I met a woman who played with Slim later on, her stage name was "Lady Vi"- he would always stop by her house in Los Altos, CA when he was nearby, cook up some incredible Cuban food, tell stories about his many exploits, and then move on... I interviewed her on my radio show. Slim was quite a character!

Dave and his crew were head to head with The Jim Kweskin Jug Band back in '64 when jug bands were all the folk rage. Dave had Kweskin's ensemble beat all to hell!
I never really watched or paid attention to Spike but then i watched a video and i realized just how amazing he and his band are to be able to put comedy in with the music outstanding
Spike was always so cool and I love the casual way he fires off a round or two as part of the music. They were the real deal as musicians and they never fail to make me laugh. Thank the heavens we can get still get to see them on tape.
When my dad was young, he and some friends went to a live Spike Jones show, and were unexpectedly escorted to the first row. Then all the practical gags were played on them (like a tray of cups being spilled towards them but being attached to the tray with strings).
