I thought Roger Miller was v. deaf these days and couldn't play loud music? And what has Clint Conley been doing all these years?

Chances of them playing the UK = zero, I suspect (as far as I know they never made it over here the first time round.)

Dunno what Clint is doing these days. I think something with television; but I could be wrong. I remember asking him about a reunion. Here's what he says: "No plans for a reunion. It's just never appealed to me. I guess I feel protective of what Mission of Burma was and a reunion might diminish it somehow. To sing those songs now would be a little disingenous. At least that's how it strikes me at this moment. Besides Martin's bailed out and is off somewhere in the jungle in the South Seas."
Hah! Guess he changed his mind. Which is great, naturally.

I did a whois search on missionofburma.com. It's owned by someone called Sheilah Navat, from sanfranciscoartmagazine.com. It looks legit, but you never know.

twenty-four years pass...

Mission of Burma will be playing a few songs at this benefit for Jeff Connoly. We will be going on early because I have to drive back to Vermont, then the next day drive across Vermont, load gear, and then down to D C w/The Anvil Orchestra. We are very glad to be included in this event. DMZ was one of the first bands I saw when I moved to Boston in 1978, and I loved them. And then I was amazed by the Lyres. Rock on, Jeff. - Roger Clark Miller

thanks for that. I had no idea Jeff Connolly was sick and fundraising to pay for it. I just donated

I need to donate . DMZ were great. Cool that Mission of Burma will be doing a few songs at the benefit at the Middle East in March.
