I saw the craziest musical act recently—
they’re called Trout Fishing in America. My
whole family loved them. But what do they
have to do with fishing?
—Anne H.. Haines City. Fla.
The only fishing done by the eclectic folk-rock act of
Keith Grimwood and Ezra Idler is "hooking" audi
ences for more rhan 20 years with their infectiously
witty, wholesomely wacky songs. Named after a
quirky 1968 novel by Richard Brautigan, che group
has been nominated for two Grammy Awards and
received high praise from several national parent
ing organizations. Often they record tunes they've
co-written in workshops with kids, such as "Alien
in My Nose” and “My Pants Fell Down" from their
new CD, My Best Day.
CMT

Q Does Ted Nugent con
sider himself a rock star who
hunts, or a hunter who rocks?
— H. Manley. Corvallis. Ore.
Tire Detroit-born Nugent wears
both hats equally, and
equally well. Half the
year, he's a world-famous
guitar slinger; the ocher half, he
guides groups of customers to vari
ous hunting spots around the globe
through his company, Sunrise Safa-
ris. “If you want to get to know and appreciate the depth and
integrity and soul of your fellow man,” says Nugent, 57, "it is
optimized at a campfire."
Q What can you tell me about Bill Dance on
the Outdoor Life Network?
—Christopher Tou vs. Franklin. Pa. -
. A consummate outdoorsman. Dance
* lias hosted Bill Dance Outdoors for the
past 36 years for various networks.
"Tlie greatest gift anyone can give
is an introduction to the great 1
outdoors," says Dance, 65. He
lives in Tennessee with his wife *
Dianne, away from city noise fit
and lights. "I live with the frogs j |
and the crickets, the snakes
and the owls. We kxik at tur- fi
keys, deer .aid squirrels every Bp,
day There's s< imethiim magi* al
about the outdoors." JB|§
