writing in to offer my gratitude, not only for the tasteful morsels offered here but also your prose and wit. i'm very happy to have found Wilfully Obscure and have been imbibing hundreds of bottles of nectar here for a few years now. feeling rather rude of me to just take and take, without even saying thank you. thus here's how we offer our thanks in these parts; Terima Kasih!
Thanks Termia. I'm here for the giving, you're there for the taking, so it's all good.
Talking about Big Wheel:
In the late sixties this group (from The Hague) with the same name did a nice rendition of the Creation's If I Stay Too Long. One or two ex-members of famous Dutch band Q'65 were involved, if my memories don't fool me:

Terima Kasih is not a person spavid. It's how you give thanks in Malaysian.
OMG. My apologies! Guess you've got another ignorant American on you hands.
Man, have at vinyl test pressing of this album somewhere around the house....
" I'm not sure what's up with them titling a song "Metallica" "
I think that was a temp title and they never came up with a better one.
Thanks so much for this! I know they did a reunion show a couple years back and had some kind of rarities/live CD for sale. Don't think I will ever get my hands on that one!
Thanks so much for posting this. Been trying to track down BW albums for quite some time, only one more to go. I have some of Searcys later stuff from the band Starbilly (mid 90's) if you're interested. More post-grunge than BW, but still with that characteristic Searcy vocal melody.
jwhazel, which one are you missing?
Missing Slow Town. I actually met peter a few times and he gave me the starbilly stuff but didn't have any big wheel stuff on hand. Have checked B&ME here and town and no luck either.
Are you in Louisville? Try The Great Escape or maybe Better Days on Bardstown. I'll keep an eye open!
Thanks dude, but the link is dead...
Hi, i am Glenn Taylor. I was the guitar player in Big Wheel. We named our songs randomly. So, for example, "erect song" was named because he says "you left me a wreck" and we jokingly said "erect" as in you left me erect. "metallica" was named just because the opening riff was kind of metal like. I think you can get all three albums on amazon or ebay. There is no live album or rarities that i am aware of. I have a copy of pretty much anything if anyone is ever interested. We are all reachable if anyone has any questions. Glenn Taylor
Glen, do you have any way to post Slowtown? I've attempted to buy this album off amazon before only to have the sellers cancel on me. Big fan of you all's work and what you did for the Louisville music scene. I'm happy to send you some $$ for your troubles. Reach me at jwhazel [at] me [dot] com
i will make this easy for anyone that wanders down this rabbit hole. Text me at 502 341 7815. i have boxes of stuff. For now, if you go to youtube - you can search peter searcy down and or peter searcy half of anything or half of everything - can't remember which - and you can see our two videos.
Glenn Taylor
Hello Glenn. Thank you for all that beautiful music.
That's all.
Greetings from Argentina, man.
Any chance of re-up?
