Description

From their homes in the old Gold Rush town of Columbia, CA, to bluegrass and folk festivals, theaters, bars, streets and radio stations across the country, Doodoo Wah has poked fun at Bob Dole, both George Bushes, Bill Clinton, Dan Quayle and Lorena Bobbitt, Christmas, middle-aged men, loggers and anti-loggers, contractors, dentists, lawyers, Dr. Kevorkian, Mike Tyson, Japanese car-makers and much more. But it's all easy on the ear, delivered with tasteful and not spiteful humor. And it streams out amid endearing harmonies, catchy melodies, rhythms and riffs that keep "Doodoo Heads" tapping their toes when they aren't slapping their thighs. Ron DeLacy and Dave Cavanagh teamed up as Doodoo Wah in 1990, parlaying DeLacy's self-deprecating wit, Cavanagh's instrumental wizardry and both of their gifts and enthusiasm for making music. Soon they were booked up and down California's Mother Lode and in Nevada. Since then their popularity has spread to Alaska, Hawaii, Nashville, the Midwest and points in between. They have co-produced six "Doodoo Wah" albums, and some of their songs have been covered by Curb-Capitol's Ray Stevens ("Working for the Japanese"), Warner Brothers' Pinkard and Bowden ("Since My Baby Turned Gay" and "Long-a-Sing") and Dr. Elmo of Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer fame ("Dr. Kevorkian"). Among other Doodoo Wah originals: "Hanky Panky in the White House," "Men's Crisis Center," "Nixon in '96," "Odor in the Court" (about an attorney's courtroom flatulence)...
