WDGY: Article #121 March 2021<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So it’s Mr. Zer0’s 12th St. Patrick’s Day in this location. so I did a “St. Patrick’s Day” Show for my #185 show for WDGY. My Grandma’s last name being Doughty, I grew up very Irish Catholic on the west side of Sioux City. In 2019 my good friend\u00a0Evangeline got me a DNA test for my birthday, turns out I am 31% Irish. When I was a kid in Brandon (Jackson), Miss.\u00a0 I heard “Boys Are Back In Town” on the radio, I thought it was a pretty good song. When we moved back to Sioux City in 1978, it seemed like anyone’s house I went to, someone was always playing Thin Lizzy on the stereo.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Being young and poor, I used to walk to Sunset Plaza and go\u00a0 through the “Cut-Out Records” bins at Woolco, looking to buy the most records for my $5.oo weekly allowance, the “Cut-Outs” you could find older albums from .99 to $2.99. One day I was looking through them and I stumbled on 2 albums by Thin Lizzy “Johnny The Fox” & “Bad Reputation” I remember thinking “I liked that song “Boys Are Back In Town” and everybody I know is playing “Live And Dangerous” maybe I’ll like these songs” so I got them both sealed for $1.99\u00a0+ TAX ! which ate up my $5.oo. I took them home and found out I loved most of\u00a0 “Johnny The Fox” and a lot of “Bad Reputation” about a year later I met a guitar player Michael who learned most of “Live And Dangerous” he encouraged me to learn the songs on there so we could jam. Alas I was just Not That Good. About a year after that I met another guitar player Miles H. who was a dead ringer for Scott Gorham, the guitar player in Thin Lizzy, although\u00a0his jam was anything Joe Walsh, he taught\u00a0me “Disco Strangler” by The Eagles, in the boiler room of a closed school where he used to jam.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In Dec 1982 I heard Johnnie Bolin’s band “DVC” perform\u00a0“Hollywood” at The Patio in Sioux City. When I was with “High Fever” in 1983 touring the Mid-West, the band bought the Cassette, as you could not play a record in the car or even in some clubs, at that time, of “Thunder And Lightning” I remember at the time thinking\u00a0this was a Great Cassette! So little by little I began to buy up most of their catalog on Cassette, Records and then CD, because when I get into an Artist, I really get into that artist, having said that, I think my favorites in order are: “Thunder And Lightning” “Johnny The Fox”\u00a0“Renegade” “Bad Reputation” & “Black Rose”. In 2005 there was a statue erected of Lynott in Dublin, in 2018 my friend Damian P. took one of Mr. Zer0’s T-Shirts back to Dublin with him to take a photo of Mr. Zer0’s shirts next to the statue of Phil.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It was only in recent years I learned of where the name came from, the UK Comic “The Dandy” and “The Beano” there was a female robot called “Tin Lizzy” Downey thought this would be a good name and Lynott added the “H” because in Ireland, most people do not pronounce the “Th” in words. and I was shocked to find out how many guest appearances the memebers\u00a0made including Lynott who played on Johnny Thunders 1978 album “So Alone” and from\u00a0 that Lynott and 2 other members of Thin\u00a0 Lizzy with 2 memebers\u00a0of the Sex Pistols formed “The Greedies” and a UK Christmas Single “A Merry Jingle” which will\u00a0 be on my 4th Annual WDGY X-Mass Show in Dec 2021. About 2016 I decided to put together a Tribute Band to Thin Lizzy, with myself\u00a0singing lead and playing bass, and MN Pete on drums as Downey is his favorite drummer. Since I was playing the part of Phil, we decided on the name “White Lizzy” unfortunately I have yet to find 2 guitarists to work together like Robertson & Gorham did, back in the day. I did see Gorham and Sykes in St. Paul on 24 Aug 2004, I saw Gorham again in April 2018 in MPLS.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So being March and Thin Lizzy being one of the most famous bands to come out of Ireland I decided to revisit Thin Lizzy and make Episode #186 Thin Lizzy Part 2B. Still in March I thought I should make my next “Cover Up” Show Program #5 on Thin Lizzy, too. Down below you will find the set list for these shows.
