Who's in the current Strangers band?

Thanks Lee, Checks in the mail (again). This just gets better and better. I'd be scared poopless tho to do a Hag tune with the strangers as my backing band, and Norm Hamlet sitting there. wow. just booked my hotel, be advised the cheap rooms are availble by phone it seems (I got one) but appear all booked up on their website. Cant wait till May.

All of 'em, Doug? I know you're fast, but ...

I'd be willing to fly in to do one.

Larry Behm · Post by **Larry Behm** » 6 Apr 2007 12:13 pm

I guess I could do about 10 Merle songs, not very good considering he probably has about 250 or more.

I last heard the Strangers in 1971, I imagine they might sound a bit different today. Has anybody heard this band in the last couple of years? I'm trying to figure out what styles of music they might be comfortable with.
