"DO LET'S DO" (live in 1978) features the band, SPUD CITY led by Bruce Kerr (later: songwriter-parodist, Loose Bruce Kerr) and his boyhood friend from hometown, Waukesha, Wisconsin, Steve Hoeft. On drums: Tyke Ten Eyck from St. Croix, US Virgin Islands, bass: Mickey Marien from New York.
This rather rough, live, recording captured at the University of Lowell is a rare one from back in the day. Spud City played gigs in the late 1970's from the top of Vermont ski lodges down to Greenwich, Connecticut and east to Cape Cod. The main stage at the University of Lowell in Massachusetts had the band doing an all-original show except for their opening number, a barbershop arrangement of "The Oscar Meyer Wiener Song." "Do Let's Do" followed that opening in front of about 3,000 college students in 1978.
Steve & Bruce play electric guitars, Tyke on drums, Mickey on
bass, and all 4 sing the vocals. Bruce sings lead and the last
chorus features a combo of Steve on chorus against Bruce on verse
simultaneously. It's swing time, baby! (l to r: Mickey Marien,
