Savvy deserves a lot of credit.Just last year, they were primed to open the Texxas Jam when it was jerked out from under them by another bands management.This time it was REO's manager who deciced that that Savvy should not play on the same show as the now bigshot band.Louis Messina tried to make it up to the band by letting them open for Heart in San Anatonio the Thursday before the Jam.Also, the band reports, that all of the members of REO Speddwagon stopped by the Houston Agora where Savvy was playing over the Jam weekend, and asked if they could sit in on Savvy's equipment and play awhile.The Savvy boys agreed to an end of the night session, and REO played for about a half hour.Everything was buddy buddy after that.Savvy has a lot of of class.
