Bob "Boogie" Streibel -- Piano -- Banjos, Buckets and Brass and
The Dixieland Rascals
About 1967, Sherwood "Shakey" Johnson and Ed Plummer opened a new Shakey's Pizza Parlor in Columbia, Missouri. Auditions were being taken for a piano player and banjo player. Bob Streible (a law student) got the job as piano player with George Gilmore on banjo. Says Gilmore, "Without Streibel I would have never made it to the second night. Shakey's was fun for students, families, and other would be musicians who felt comfortabtle joining in."
Around 1968, a new place was about to open, The Village Inn. They were looking for a piano/banjo combo. Streible and Gilmore had the market cornered being the only such combo around and so they auditioned, demanded union wages, the right to design their own stage with lighting, sound system, and Old Tyme Silent Movies. And they wanted free beer (and lots of it) for Banjos, Buckets, and Brass, who promised to play every Friday and Saturday night...and they got what they demanded.
Around 1970 Streible got the urge to open his own place, the 18th Amendment. George Gilmore left for law school so Rich Howard took on the banjo duties. Larry Garrett played clarinet and the band was called The Dixieland Rascals.
