PLAYBILL
CAST (in order of appearance)
Jackson – as himself, a noisemaker, button pusher, knob turner. Responsible for all sounds on album, except as noted below.
Perry Drake – as the hard rock country drummer on “Bob Dylanâ€, “Banksâ€, “Katie†and “Confetti Starsâ€. Gained earlier fame as Clark’s dad, “The Determined Fishermanâ€, and “Van Driver†(where all great drummers get their start).
Kevin Hollingsworth – as lead guitar player in scenes “Bob Dylan†and “Banksâ€. Previous roles included “Guitar Tech to the Stars†and “South Austin Peace and Love Choirâ€.
Mr. Bruce Lawrence – as lead guitar player on “Wish I Could Write Fiction†and “Confetti Stars†skits. Leads double life as an accountant, and triple life as a swell guy (I mean, just look at him, on his Brucifer page).
Dawn Biega – as the cellist in Act 7, “Carolineâ€. Was the only one on the set allowed to carry a bow, as she is classically trained and licensed in that area.
