I am going to miss the South Austin Jug Band. I missed the old SAJB when Will and Willie left the band in the middle of 2007 and now I'm going to miss the new SAJB.
In any form, I was never let down by a SAJB show whether there was a hundred people in the crowd or fifteen. I can't say that about many bands.
The "South Austin Hug Band", although gone from the newer lineups, always maxed out the value for your entertainment dollar. I don't know if the guys in the band care about their legacy, but like other Austin bands that were gone from the scene after a prolific run, their legacy of great songs and great players will live on in my cd player and iPod for a long, long time.
In case you're interested, there are thirteen live shows housed in the Live Music section of archive.org. Enjoy.

My favorites are http://www.archive.org/details/sajb2006-11-04.sbd.flac from the Nutty Brown and http://www.archive.org/details/sajb2007-05-26.sdb.flac from Will's last show.
