Name the Musicians!

Dear Editor,
For someone who plays live as rarely as Jandek, who is so secretive and sensitive, I would assume he is very picky about whom he might want to play with. However, your article [Live Shot, Music, Sept. 2] does not mention the names of the “two drummers and a bassist” who “backed” Jandek for his Austin concert, and in my opinion was disrespectful in its tentativeness to find a descriptive detail about them: “(all of whom looked at least 20 years his junior)." So let's give a hand to three wonderful musicians who had the honor to play with Jandek on Aug. 28:
Chris Cogburn, percussion (Austin); Nick Hennies, percussion (Austin); and Juan Garcia, bass (Houston).
