Walt Mink. Do you remeber them? Ever see them?

is thorn still on mpr

I saw Walt Mink live a couple of times in Bloomington back in the 90s. They opened up for fIREHOSE on the Flying the Flannel tour at Jakes and then a year or so later saw them play a show at Second Story. I remember liking them ok and am pretty sure I had a copy of Miss Happiness at one point. I seem to recall they were pretty good but I really don't remember much about their music at this point.

Oh right, was trying to remember what the song i liked by them was. It was Showers Down. Somebody mentions it above. I think I picked up the cd for £2IR or something. Can't really remember the rest of it but do remember that as being pretty good.
Haven't seen the cd in ages so not sure if I might still have it somewhere.

Just learned a few things about this band I never knew:

• Singer/guitarist John Kimbrough is the son of actor Charles Kimbrough, aka Jim on “Murphy Brown.”
• Going by the date and venue, I’m fairly sure I attended their final show — without realizing it was their final show — which was later released as a live album. (I had been a fan in high school, but only when I was out of college did I finally have a chance to see them.)
