Polecats
Some of the surviving Polefarts got together when Wiley and Cinda got hitched in Oakland a while back. That’s Les Harris on drums, Chris Mondt on bass, Broos Campbell on vocals, and Richard von Busack on accordion. Christopher Sharron (off camera) played the guitar bits.
Les is a multi-instrumentalist. He played with us a bit at the end of our gigging days, usually on guitar and horns. If we’d known he was interested, we would’ve asked him a lot sooner. He and Kenny Schick (busy photographing the wedding) played the hoovin’ saxes on “Cold Chicken and a Bottle of Gin.” Les also played the clarinet on “Viking Reggae,” our only song that ever got air play.
We were doing “Shootin’ Out the Porch Light” here. An odd choice for a wedding, but it was by request. It sure cleared people off the lawn and over to where the eats and drinks were.
