The name might not bring instant recognition but if you've ever listned to One Toke Over the Line, then you've heard Brewer, one half of the Brewer & Shipley duo. Not only was their music a perfect fit for the times, it has a special connection to Kansas City. Their manager was local Stan Plesser and he owned the Vanguard Coffee House where I enjoyed Brewer & Shipley many times. Plesser also opened the legendary KC Cow Town Ballroom where many incredible acts performed, & I was there for most of them. This couldn't have happened without the success of Brewer & Shipley.
