They even performed some new songs. Gord and Sandy are still very good song writers." P Gord Deppe, lead guitar and vocals, who wrote the liner notes for the CD, and Sandy Horne, bass guitar and vocals, continue to be the backbone and coâ€"leaders of the band. Original drummer Derrick Ross currently runs Fre Records, and Rob Preuss, the original keyâ€" oard player who was only 15 fvhen the Spoons released their irst single in 1981, is currently nvolved with the Miss Saigon theatrical production. Hence, when the Spoons go on @ur, which they plan to do next ear, Deppe and Horne will be oined by another drummer and ceyboard player, "both of whom ave filled in with the band éfore," said Higgins. "So, when ey go on tour, it will still be The poons." The CD, spearheaded by MCA ecords, was initially intended for adio stations â€" many having witched from vinyl to CD forâ€" mat. "The Spoons have never been n CD, because that format didn‘t xist when they released their aterial," said Higgins. "We anted to get some of their best ongs on CD for radio station braries." And, The Spoons, as a sult of this release, are once gain, gaining popularity.
