Bill Kirchen Back in Town

The concert of the week will be Bill Kirchen and Too Much Fun returning to The Sportsmen's Tavern at about 9:30 p.m. Thursday, August 3. Kirchen, who may be best know for writing and performing "Hot Rod Lincoln" while a member of Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen, will lead his band in one of its usual twangy, rocking affairs. And yes, admission to the show is free.
The most unusual setting Val and I have witnessed Bill Kirchen and Too Much Fun (before we were even dating) was when they played the wedding reception of musicians Dave Meinzer and Cathy Carfagna (members of the Outlyers, etc.) several years ago at the Market Arcade. They used every inch of the place, upstairs and downstairs, as well as the stairs themselves.
