The Southern Illinoisan

Carbondale punk rock band The Copyrights is also known by many.

The Southern Illinoisan has a music history column, September 5th, 2021, in which it says there are too many musicians to name, saying, quote, space does not permit but a brief mention of others like Carbondale native and heavy metal guitarist Paul Gilbert.

rapper T-Hud, musician and Helen Reddy band leader Lenny Colton, alternative metal and post-brunch musician Revis, classical artist Eric Moe, and 1920s jazz saxophonist Frankie Trumbauer.

End quote.

They were following a strange splashing sound, like something was walking through knee-deep water, but they did not find anything.

They graciously left out the couple's name, but no one really cared.

They were like, meh, probably an owl.
