Re: Red House Painters


i'm 99% sure it was red house painters...  but i couldn't tell you which 
album!  my friend beth, who i've introduced to otr, introduced me to red 
house painters.  unfortunately, i haven't scraped up the money for an album, 
yet- and they seem to have many, many!  but i'm sure i could ask beth which 
album it was, if you really want to know...
