***A band that headlined a fair last weekend is accused of masquerading as the rock group Redbone,***
Nothing really new. Just after WWII a group came into a small NM town and claimed to be from the GRAND OLE OPRY in NASHVILLE. My Mom is from Nashvile and went to the show, it was all impersonators. Not a real Opry member in the group.
I also understand there was several groups going around as THE INK SPOTS.
Addendum: This fake Grand ole Opry group even had a fake Minnie Pearl (With that GREAT opery MINNIE PERL!).
Note the difference in the name. My mom noticed and knew something was not right but didn't realize the fraud till this fake minnie Pearl came onto stage.
The dead giveaway is where they say they were in the Little Rascals as kids.
