Greater than the Great Wall of China! More awe-inspiring than Niagra Falls! The Tillesquat Bowl! Located on the cool, tree lined banks of the Tillesquat River, this beautiful building (once hailed by Frank Lloyd Wright as “the perfect structure”) has long been considered the premier vacation destination in the Northwest.

The home of many cultural events over the years, in 2003 the Tillesquat Bowl was host to the triumphant homecoming concert of Tillesquat’s own Cleetus Sanger (lead vocals and rhythm guitar) and Homer Didele (lead guitar and rhythm vocals), recently returned from their record breaking world tour. Broadcasting from historic Lane 19, this concert was their gift to their beloved home town.

This album is an accurate reproduction of the original live radio broadcast on station KSQT, “the voice of Tillesquat.”

**************

The tale of Sanger and Didele begins some 30-odd years ago. Cleetus Sanger, heir to the famous Sanger Kazoo Company fortune, was born in a humble 47 room mansion on the outskirts of Tillesquat, Washington. A precocious child, he early showed a talent for typewriter repair and tormenting the neighborhood cats with duct tape. No one dared discipline the child, as he possessed a three-alarm scream that could bring even the largest and most macho adult male to his knees. Young Sanger therefore grew up totally convinced of his own superiority over the little people, or “scum” as he chose to call them.
Meanwhile, Homer Didele did not have such an easy life. Abandoned in the woods outside Tillesquat shortly after his birth, he was adopted by a friendly tribe of clams. When finally discovered by human beings, he was fully grown, but had the mind of a fully grown person raised by clams. He spoke no English; his only means of communication was a rudimentary form of Basque. His transition into human society was not easy, but was aided by liberal use of electroshock therapy and frequent rewards of SPAM.
Homer was given a scholarship to the prestigious Northwest Presbyterian Dental College of Business and Agriculture, conveniently located in the heart of downtown Tillesquat. Majoring in Mineral Husbandry (with a minor in loansharking), Didele joined and was quickly made captain of the university tambourine squad. Meanwhile, Sanger was also majoring at the university. Fate decreed that the two were to meet through their mutual hobby of competitive dog grooming. It was at a meet against rival Tillesquat Women’s College of Botany and Hairdressing that the pair discovered a shared love of inflicting themselves on the public. It is this love that continues to bring them to you to this very day.

    Mixed Review of Live At Tillisquat Bowl by Kathleen M. Fitzpatrick (little known music cryptic): WOW! This IS what we have been WAITING for! This was my first reaction to the new Sanger and Didele CD, Live at the Tillisquat Bowl! Well done (but not burned!). Beautiful perfect harmonies, a balance of Silly and Sad and silly sad, let alone poignant and humorous. Real professional sound quality. A chance for Homer to show off his incredible voice training and his classical diddling and for Cleatus to reveal the full depth and pathos of his voice. Favorite songs we have been craving to be on CD. LOVED it! Titanic Blues ROCKS. S and D Rock! Can’t wait for the next CD but will probably have to. Ok, now you see, this is the way I am. I had to get the nice review out of the way. With me the nice side always wins out over the sarcastic side, which proves I could not possibly be related to anyone in this family. Now here below is proof of my darker side: Just purchased Sanger and Didele’s new CD, Live at the Tillisquat Bowl! While I was live at Tumbleweed 2005. I laughed so hard my ribs hurt! Then I played the CD. When Karen (my sister)and I were on the way home from Tumbleweed 2005, she tried to play the new CD. There was no sound at all. I tried to tell her the name of that song was either Far Far Away or it was a solo, So Low I cannot Hear you. Karen was lucky, she got the CD with no sound on it, but she still plays it and never has to adjust the volume. Seriously, I am sold on Tilisquat for our next exciting vacation and we plan to take that new exciting cruise ship everyone is singing about (starts with a T, something like titanium) to get there! I hope to be able to share my Weasel Weaving skills upon arrival. Maybe we can purchase a Miracle used car when we get there so we can drive about to all of the activities and then dine of one of them there hamburgers. Always looking for ways to improve deep breathing so I plan to sing along often with Homer’s chill giving version of Shanandoah. I always knew he was full of a lot of air! We will be tossing out our very expensive sound system and Bose radio because it cannot or will not tune in Station KSQT, what a rip off! When we discovered Squid Boy was not on this CD, we were going to bring a gun or some cruiser missiles or a bag of marshmellows to toss and try and get our money back but then we discovered a leak in our roof. So we finished the CD, repaired our roof, and boy, it takes a lot of CD’s to repair a roof because of the useless holes in them but we had many other CD’s from that other famous group known as the great AOL. Now that we have finished playing the CD we are going to get our hearing checked. But, hey, it is quiet in the house now after our cats have quit screeching following being tranquilized. Okay, maybe we should not have left the doors and windows open while playing this CD as we are now desperately seeking new lodging. Funny how history repeats itself. Can’t wait to see where we will end up living following the 3rd Sanger and Didele CD being played in our house. I hear Sunnyside is nice this time of year, or maybe we can camp for a while in Howard Amon Park or seek a room at the Mesford Hotel. Of course it is barely possible the hate mail and the burning CD’s in the front yard will slow down a little. When I mentioned to Gary (my husband still in spite of these CD's) that Sanger and Didele sing Roll On Columbia straight (serious), he wondered how this song could be performed straight when the Columbia River is not straight. I explained that this is because Cleatus and Homer only made it 12 feet from the shore on their WORLD FAMOUS quest to find the Pacific Ocean, so how would they know that the river is not straight? It’s odd but as soon as this new CD started playing we had a sinking feeling. Gary didn’t realize that Cleatus had electrical knowledge but there he was singing about bad breakers. With all of the sounds of ocean waves in the background, the heave ho’s and so on, it proves you don’t have to leave the house in order to get sea sick. Now that Sanger and Didele are into the Blues we are hoping they will come up with a completely Blues CD. After folks have listened to the Blues CD they will likely be known as the Black and Blues Brothers. Now back to my nice serious side: Requests for songs on future CD’s (and remember I am 57 now and may not be able to wait another 20 years): Ballad of Jed Clampett Final Trawl Wreck of the Edmond Fitzpatrick, I mean Fitzgerald You notice I did not include a request for Squid Boy. This is because I have been warned this would take up an entire boxed set of CD’s, and anywhat this is my nice side speaking. Excerpts from this review can be plagerized providing my address is never used, or how would I know if they were plagerized anyway, and I may have already done so.
