I snagged a copy of the maybe  august CD "Based On Actual Events" at SPAH a 
few weeks ago and have been  listening to it a lot. I have to agree with 
Richard Hunter. Rosco's harp on this  album is outstanding --fresh ideas played by 
turns with power and  finesse. Rosco will tell you that this is not a harmonica 
album and I guess it's  not in the traditional sense but there's harp on 
every track except for one, I  think. If you want to hear some fine diatonic harp 
that is not blues but  very big and edgy and musical, this is a great CD to 
check out. The whole  band is excellent on this recording. Killer vocals and 
harmony, great  instrumentalists and original tunes that sound as good as any  
modern-alt-indie rock that I've heard out there. Definitely deserving of wider  
recognition and air play. Peloquin plays sax on some of the tracks too. Great  
stuff.
