CB.NET is proud to present another one of its award winning chat-interviews-this time with a man who can be very hard to get a hold of.We're talking about Scott Coon AKA Da Scooner.Others have tried and failed to get him to reveal his words of wisdom,but WE were not discouraged and our patience paid off.Course,if we knew that all we had to do was offer him a beer....anyway,sit back and enjoy this long and sometimes revealing interview with.......Da Scooner!!!

CB.NET-Hello Scooner.Satchel here.How are you?

Scooner-Yo...Wassup G?

CB.NET-Sdoin' cool dude! So,give us a little background on ya Scooner.We want to know ya alittle better.Also-how did you get that name???

Scooner-Hmmm...it's a REALLY Long story...but to sum it up in a nutshell,a friend started calling me that about 12 years ago,and it stuck...

CB.NET-Was that friend male or female???

Scooner-Umm...the friend was none other than,local guitar ledgend,Scott Spiess.And the last time I saw him,he was still male...LOL.

CB.NET-Remember folks.....ledgend....:-D

Scooner-Although he is built like a skinny woman!

CB.NET-Scott or Wayne?

Scooner-LOL...Scott.....Wayne too for that matter.

CB.NET-We know you were playin' w/ CAROLINE BLUE for awhile,then you left,then you reappeared for da show on 1/17/2002.How did that come about?

Scooner-The Man,The Myth,The Ledgend...Mr.Wayne W. Johnson called me in to be a "Stunt" bassist.

CB.NET-A "Stunt" bassist??? What's that-did Wayne have you step in whenever Roy St. James had to do "Da Wiggle" on stage or something??

Scooner-Yeah,the director would yell "CUT" and I would come on.

CB.NET-So Wayne is like a skinny woman...hmmm...hope Rico didn't hear that...:-D

Scooner-Does Rico like skinny women?

CB.NET-We don't know WHAT Rico likes around here-he'll be in shortly to start transcribing this.

Scooner-Groovy.

CB.NET-Hopefully he won't embarrass us again.Bucky too.

Scooner-Wow,did I just say "Groovy?"

CB.NET-Yes you did Boy Howdy!

Scooner-Sorry-had a Partridge Family flashback for a sec.

CB.NET-Just like Roy St. James!!! Incredible!!! So now we know Wayne picks B-Ass Guitarists who are inspired by the Partridge Family...

Scooner-Yeah,that Danny Partridge was an inspiration to us all!!

CB.NET-So what do you think of CAROLINE BLUE?

Scooner-I'm totally down with CB!!!

CB.NET-What was it like working w/ Wayne,Dave,and Roy St. James?

Scooner-Ya couldn't ask for a better bunch of dudes to work with.No attitudes,no bitchin'...just good ol' American fun!
