They opened up with Muleskinner blues and they had Joey who later went on to play with Bad Boy.

A little current goings on in the Eagle River area. Last weekend was Joe Bucher's annual Blues Festival. This year he had his band the Top Raiders, The Usual Suspects, and a ZZ Top tribute band called Eliminator. For those that don't know that after the summer of '72 the people of Eagle River decided that everyone "getting crazy"(Tequila shots)and loud "Hippies" had gone on long enough, they tore down the Arbutus Inn (Hotel)and built a bank?!? in it's place. The "Mod" or Modernaire became an Exotic Dancer Bar and was torched a couple years ago. I spent 30 years after that summer of '72 living just down the road from Aspen, Co. and now have moved back to Land O Lakes, Wi. since '01. But the many, many good times with the Tongue Band will last forever.

The lyrics were written by Mickie Larsen and the music was written as a jam by the whole band.<br /><br />Watch for a second CD release coming in the next year. we are currently negotiating with the record company that did the first release and we have plenty of previously unreleased material.<br /><br />I travel to Wisconsin from my home in La Quinta, Ca in August and can be found playing 2nd lead with Rick Clark's blues band, "Deep Water Reunion". They recently released a CD called "No Name, Small Town Blues".<br /><br />Paul Rabbitt - Tongue lead guitar/vocalsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27656403.post-8297742499362586832010-02-11T23:34:53.498-05:002010-02-11T23:34:53.498-05:00I have a 45 by a band called Tongue: Hotel Arbutis...I have a 45 by a band called Tongue: Hotel Arbutis b/w Harp Thing, on Tektra Records.
