About this Episode
SlapperCast Episode 379: "Captain Sidebar"
This week you get to meet our dear friend James "Jimbo" Edwards, one of the drummers who will be filling in for Turbo while he's recovering from knee replacement surgery.
James actually used to be a full-time member of the band... back in 2007, he was the second drummer to play with us following Brian Vogel, about two years before we met Mike McAloon. James also has a long history playing with Moses Guest, a legendary Houston band we were honored to share the bill with at GUEST FEST II last week (Chad also built and manages mosesguest.com).
We had our first rehearsal with Jimbo yesterday, and took a break to record this episode, reminiscing about the early days of Jimbo's original tenure with Blaggards, his history with music leading up to that, plus a few other silly things.
At the end is a bit of our rehearsal with James, cut with a montage of photos from the old days with James, playing at Fitzgerald's and the Continental Club.
