Cowboy, Baby

According to the latest newsletter from The Cold website Vance has re-joined Cowboy Mouth. But what I ask now is that is this a permanent situation, or just for this latest tour, like he joined them back around the late 90's during their H.O.R.D.E Tour and Mercyland promotional tour? The posting at Vance's website says that Paul Sanchez has left the band and the other guys asked Vance to step in and play rhythm guitar on this current tour which will continue on up through February. If Paul has left then does that make Vance their new permanent rhythm thing? And what of The Famous Pies? And am I the only one that gives a vague hoot about all this? Heck, I think I'm less shocked about Vance joining the band than I am about Paul actually leaving it.

Here's a copy of the newsletter, combined with current list of east coast tour dates:

Vance Degeneres has officially joined Cowboy Mouth. Vance has
played guitar with CM at different times over the last 10 years and
will start with the band on the next shows in Kansas City and
Council Bluffs.

Here is some concert information. .. (thanks to Fred Leblanc for
posting)....

Starting January 17, Cowboy Mouth is on tour to celebrate Mardi Gras
