I'm a big baseball fan for sure. I don't know why we started doing it. It was just kind of funny and we always pick out baseball names from my childhood, because that's when the whole baseball reverence happened to me. I guess you could say there is something about old heroes that always makes them worth conjuring up.

Old ladies think we're cute. People our age think we're interesting and we have something new to say. People in their middle ages remember the folk revival of the '60s.

We're playing the hell out of Georgia this fall. We're playing Macon, Augusta and Athens and then in Atlanta, so by the end of the month we should see a renewed and expanded interest in OCMS in the Peachtree State.

The band was basically formed as a road act. We hadn't known all the players before. In fact, we had never played a tune together.
