Roger Shealy will remember 😂😂
“Why were we so against the jug?” Well we weren’t “against” it really but it’s just that we were a real band with real albums and gigs…and there was no “real life” jug anywhere to be found when we played our original songs out on the road!
So even though there is a prominent jug sound in that first Darlings episode (recorded by a stunt jugger with some clever water bottle usage!), we did ask the show to not insert that sound in subsequent episodes and they agreed.
Of course that was partly what Denver was known for by then so he got to keep pretending, but there is no jug sound in later episodes! Just a tremendous actor making us believe!
