message: User 70.109.245.68 made an entry saying that the band was presumed broken up.  I'm not aware of any official pronouncement, however I've seen several newspaper articles that state the band broke up several years ago. .  Jimbo Mathus has a new band called Knock Down Society that has released four (?) albums, and Katharine Whalen has a new solo CD coming out in June 2006.  I guess my point is that whether they've announced it or not, the band isn't together any more. Anson2995 16:37, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Band Broken Up

message: First, let me say how much I appreciate the fact that SNZ band member Tom Maxwell had contributed so much to this article in recent days.  He's filled in some gaps in our factual info and really brought this article forward.  But one of the comments he added was confusing --  a refernce to the fact that the final album (recorded after his departure) sold only 70,000 units.  I don't think Maxwell intended to suggest the album was a stinker.  It did receive a pretty good review from Rolling Stone. I think it's intended as a ccommentary on the band's declining popularity. Many readers may not understand that the reference earlier in the pargraph to gold and platinum albums represent sales milestones.  Perhaps this could be explained more explicitly.  It's extraordinary to go from an album that "shipped gold" to one that sold so few in the span of two years. Anson2995 22:59, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Thanks to whoever mentioned the "Hot" ECD.  Clay Walker did an extraordinary job, and it was included at no extra cost.  I remember other artists selling inferior (and separate) ECDs at the time for as much as sixty dollars.

thread_title: Firecracker Jazz Band

message: I added a section on the announced reunion and tour dates.  An anon poster (68.121.251.33) recently changed the line that read "the band never officially announced a breakup" to say "the band never broke up."  I don't think that's more accurate.  The fact is that the band stopped recording and stopped touring, that its members split acrimoinously, and that they all went on to solo projects.  It's misleading to say that the band never broke up.  I think the original sentence is more accurate, and so I've reverted it. Does anybody disagree? Anson2995 15:27, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Reunion

message: The Wikipedia page for Jimbo Mathus references "disastrous lawsuits filed by ex-Zippers Tom Maxwell and Ken Mosher" as a contributing factor to the breakup of Squirrel Nut Zippers.  No reference to that here.  Should there be?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrismykrantz (talk • contribs) 04:36, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
