Roots and Whatever-Meet the Foppers

Meet the Foppers

People want to know what we sound like --LIVE----

The following FREE downloads are designed to reflect how we sound LIVE. So no tedious micro-edits, expensive processing, and obsessive overdubs---THIS is the real deal! Most of these offerings were done in one take, with the idea that "that's the way it goes at the gig..."

One tune has an overdub, just because it was impossible to reach for the slide while I was singing, kicking the bass drum, engineering,watching levels, and remembering what I was 'spose ta do...so sue me!

So , after hearing these clips, hit our web calendar, and come join us. We play Pozo, Bon Temps Creole Cafe, Cambria Pines Lodge regularily---So join the fun, cuz that's what we're havin!

Music is best-- LIVE!----

So NOW that we have these LIVE cuts, one-take wonders (I lied, we did "Carnival" seven times, but we wanted it to be good....), we will make more....

AND THEN, we will get a pile of "obsessive, micro-editted,,so pristinely micro-managed we killed any ounce of feel" tunes ready for your consuming pleasure. Don't take that away from us.

Hmm. Somehow, I doubt we will get to the last stage. Ya gotta be a "Fopper" ta know why...
