Mal Thursday goes forward into the past with "The Wig Story," as told by Johnny Richardson, Benny Rowe, Bill Wilmot, and Jess Yaryan. The Austin band (1965-1967) left behind two classic 45s and the reverberations of many a wild night at the Jade Room echoing down the ages. Dedicated to the memory of Rusty Wier. Presented in Living Monophonic Sound.
