Indeed, 3DN, "Sure As I'm Sittin' Here."  I've never cared for this one, but today it's sounding good.

"sit down, git down"  -- those 2 would seem mutually exclusive, no?

A couple of yrs ago Inessa on KINK was doing a whole set of John Hiatt covers, but mistakenly played a diff 3DN track.  I forget what it was without digging out the research, but I called her on it.  She said that she realized her mistake immediately, but that I was the only other one who noticed.

Agreed with your opinion of them, although I haven't seen 'em live. As for the name, I've always thought they were trying to emulate Los Lobos (who they sound like more than a little bit).

It was NTM, but I liked it.

The very first time (of many) that I joined the Columbia Record Club, 3DN's Greatest Hits was among my freebies for joining.  I had not heard the song previously, but it was for a while my fave on the LP.  Unfortunately I tuned in too late to hear it today.  Looking forward to Saturday's marathon.

They have always sounded like ABB-meets-Santana to me, and in the midst of KFOG's Feist-y, Mraz-tastic playlist that's actually a plus.

I like them well enough, and they are enjoyable live.  Nothing mind-blowingly good about them though.  Not in Los Lobos' league, but not without talent, either.

Couldn't put it any better.  I've seen them twice & Henry Garza is a bonafide guitar god.  They are very accomplished performers collectively, but rather weak songwriters.

A bit like Los Lobos in that respect I'd say, who can do some mighty fine covers.

Mostly sloppy, unprofessional playing, but he was behaving like an ass, too. Berating band members, who were just trying to play their parts and follow his direction. That was the only time I've seen Fillmore staff handing out posters to departing patrons *before* the show was over, and apologizing for the performer. It was just embarassing.

Is the board loading slowly for anyone else too?
