The lineup of friends and bandmates for tonight’s Vince Welnick tribute is growing. So far I have Prairie Prince, Michael Cotten, and Michele Rundgren of the Tubes; Todd Rundgren; Bob Weir; Robin Sylvester; Steve Kimock; Jerry Lawson of the Persuasions; and Tom Constanten.
Again, the tribute will air from 8pm til midnight pacific time on KPFA 94.1 fm Berkeley CA; webcast on kpfa.org, kfcf.org, and nugs.net
I’ll keep the playlist and program notes updated at here on the logblog.
Michele Rundgren sent me her selections from the Tubes catalog, with some really sweet comments on Vince’s contributions.
“When I first heard Vince sing, I was thinking, ‘Why did they hire me?’ Vince could sing higher than any girl I know. Listen to the background vocals [on “Sushi Girl”] – it’s Vince on the top part, an octave above everyone else.”
