The Wal-Mart Three was the brainchild of Travis 'Daddy-O' Quam and Nate
'Gator' Gibson. In the year 2000, in the town of Manhattan, KS, our heroes
were challenged by a rivaling K-Mart band (The Blue Light Specials) and a
Rock'n'Roll Retail Rumble resulted. Obviously, the Wal-Mart Three sang
victorious and left us with just this one "studio" album to remember them
by. Click the artwork and you will magically hear some mp3s and you'll even
be able purchase this great treasure!

Long ago there was a group of poets. They weren't street poets. They weren't
beat poets. Some weren't even poets at all. But when united, they formed the
Guerilla Poets. Lovers of the spoken word and the art of poetry. Nate was
among them. A book resulted, 'Speak These Words, A Guerilla Poets
Anthology,' and was published by W.P.C. Minimal Press in 2001. There are
three offerings by Nate and some stellar writing from the others. Books can
purchased through Amazon for less than $10! Click the artwork.

Most recently, Nate has recorded an album of Portuguese Love songs entitled,
Canta Para O Renee. Featuring members of the Gashouse Gang and several
special guests, the songs span many genres including country, western,
country and western, western shuffle, country boogie and alt-country. There
are several originals, as well as some Leon Payne, Hank Williams and Tibby
Edwards songs translated into Portuguese. There is also a punk rock fight
song for Esporte Clube Bahia. They suck, but their fight song rocks.

In the Spring of 1998, Nate enrolled in a children's writing course at
Emerson. He wrote a Suess-like picture book about a boy who loved his Fisher
Price Record Player and his entire record collection. To Fred, a black
circle with grooves was the closest thing to perfection! His friends,
however, liked 8-tracks. Then they liked cassettes. Then CDs, then
mini-discs, then mp3s and on and on. They went broke trying to keep up with
the times. But Fred, he was always happy, 'cause he just kept collecting and
listening to records. Theresa Buchhesiter thought highly of the piece and
illustrated it beautifully. Copies were made and sold at local zine fairs
and record collectors seem to love it. Alas, Nate's teacher insisted that
children will never know what a record player is and that he should write
something else to recieve a passing grade. It was a sad day. Remaining
copies of the zine can be purchased through the Nate Gibson and the Gashouse
Gang myspace page for just a few dollars.
