I started this thread because BILLY HILL AND THE HILLBILLIES had a thread dedicated to them, and I thought the DCA "Miner Forty-Niners" deserved one, too.
:)
Two days ago (Fri. 01/19/07) I saw them.
The bass player this time was Anders, who also plays with BILLY HILL and who is the #1 substitute for BILLY HILL's Billy Bass (John Marshall).
When BILLY HILL does their BEATLES mockery, it is Anders who plays the part of Ringo Starr.

One of my favorite gags of the Miner Forty-Niners is when Jedidiah Jones ad libs, "Don't the Miner Forty-Niners play real fine? You know, they're really Disney Animatronics. Don't they look life-like?"
To this, the fiddle player Candy would reply, "Oh, Jedidiah, you know that ain't true."
Jedidiah then says, "You know, she's programmed to say that!"
