They played Tumblin' Tumbleweeds and Cool Water.
Ken Curtis, Festus from Gunsmoke, was lead singer for S.o.P. although, I believe leads were switched from time to time, depending on the song.

(9,686 posts)They're great musicians doing what great musicians do: Get folks to sit up and take notice and it doesn't matter if they're sick of rehearsing, tired of the tunes, weary of the road, hungover, etc. They play as if it's the greatest tune they've ever heard while playing to each person listening.
Thanks for the thread and RIP to both.
