Podcast 63 - Dee and the Housecats
Dee and the Housecats at The Sportsmens Tavern June 1, 2007
Wow, did I get carried away with this show. Where else can you hear 12 tracks and an interview in an hour?
I almost got confused and put this podcast out as number 62, but that was last weeks’ show number. I can’t believe there have been that many shows!
As I say in the podcast, I jumped at the chance to put out a podcast of The Housecats because it was time. It was actually overdue.
The first podcast with Dee Adams, number 10, was originally supposed to be of a Housecats show. I attempted to record them at Merlin’s but as we
mention in the interview, it got botched up because I left the recorded in a monitoring mode where the VU meters worked and I could hear the audio in
the headphones, but didn’t actually start it recording. Two other bands recorded that night came out fine, but we messed up the one that counted.
But the interview Dee and I had sitting at a sidewalk table on Elmwood Ave. in December was good and I used it in the first podcast.
This show was at Dwayne Hall’s Sportsman’s Tavern, where I’ve recorded many shows and was pretty confident I’d get a good recording this time. That and I’m using a different recorder now. I’ll let you decide how it sounds.
The Housecats played three sets that night. The first set was without Dave Kimball, who was at another gig at Neitzsches with the Sun Of Memphis group. He plays in that group along with “Red” of Red and Roxy, who were featured in another podcast a while back. But the second and third sets were at full strength.
Mike Tinsmon, the bassist, is also a member of Flatbed, who we featured in podcast 14.
The band consists of:
Dee Adams, vocals, acoustic guitar
Charlie Gannon, electric guitar
Dave Kimball, electric guitar
Mike Tinsmon, bass
Nick Runfola, drums

Also, a correction - Nick Runfola is the drummer in the Houscats, not Scott, as I originally wrote. Don’t know how I screwed that up.
I wonder, any relation to Paul Runfola, the guitarist?
