Secret Service would be at the top of my list, Mad Violets and Cheepskates, 
obviously, I remember some of the Fuzztones shows as being pretty amazing (I 
always thought, "why don't their records sound like this.) Any of the major 
bands, really.

Once I came across a track by The Wayfarers, who I saw once at The Dive and 
liked, but completely forgot about.

I've been saying "faw-BEAR." "faux-BEAR" sounds likely. Maybe he should go 
with "FOW-bert" in hopes of picking up stray royalty checks for "Romeo's 
Tune."
