THE SHAGGS REUNITED! (1999)
Thirty years after the release of "Philosophy of the World," The Shaggs reunited (minus Helen, who suffers from depression) to open for NRBQ, in NYC. NRBQ, who are fans, were instrumental in getting the girls' music reissued - once in 1980 and again in 1999.

That was such a great event - I was there both nights in 1999, and seeing Dot & Betty perform (with NRBQ's Tom Ardolino on drums) was one of the musical highlights of my life.
ReplyDeleteI also got to see Dot perform with either her nephew or son (I forget), along with Tom Ardolino on drums and Keith Spring on keyboards, opening for Terry Adams of NRBQ at one of his 2009 birthday concerts in Florence, MA. Later Dot got up and sang a song or two with Terry's band (The Terry Adams Rock & Roll Quartet).
Wow! You witnessed a couple of historical musical events, my friend.
