@Figgs are you from NC? I was born in Raleigh and randomly ended up in Carrboro/CH for a year circa '93

@Kat I am not, a New Yorker through and through. I have been down in NC on tour a couple times. I met the Connells guys when I interviewed them in 96 and we hit it off. Haven't seen those guys in a lonnng time.

I met someone in Chapel Hill that year and ended up moving to New York as a consequence of that... the 90s were interesting for me. I met a bunch of musicians but not the Connells.

@kat I have nothing but fond memories of Chapel Hill. The band I toured with in 2002 crashed at Jon from Superchunk's house during one stop. That's when I first heard Scharpling & Wurster for the first time.

just did a quick search -- Oh Ok also did "Brother"!
do not know who wrote the song though, or who did it originally . . .
i totally remember Oh Ok doing this at "Music for Dozens" at Folk City so many many years ago -- amazing group and songs!
(ah but can i remember what i need to get at the grocery store? nope, hah!)
