I hear these guys get all their instruments road-ready at The Scroll Shop...
Lotta' stories got started in that dusty shed, but I can't claim that one Joey.
True story though, one of my best buds, (happens to be Director of Utilities over in the next Township east of here) absolutely LOVES those guys. And Hayseed Dixie. Tells me all the time I need a gig like that. By the way, he's the other 'Joey' in my phone contacts! 
‘‘Tis a small world..
the lead singer of Hayseed Dixie was a student at UWM (?), in Milwaukee back in the 80’s. He would show up at one of the open jams at what could best be described as a ‘dive bar’. The place was such a Dive that they allowed Dexter Bracket to be the Host Band for a month way back in a blurry memory....
I digress, John was looking for a bassist to back him on stage for his solo stuff, so we played a few shows, just acoustic backed by a Distillate and John’s voice. We also recorded a half dozen or so songs on a DAT...
Graduation came, he moved back south and shortly there after started Hayseed Dixie.
John’s solo material was solid stuff.
Found this from a 2016 release, it was a song we played back in the 80’s.
