Rio Nido
Rio Nido was an American jazz vocal group based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Band history
Rio Nido was a jazz vocal trio that began as part of the Minneapolis West Bank music scene in the early 1970s. The first incarnation of the group consisted of Prudence Johnson on vocals, Tim Sparks on vocals and guitar, and Tom Lieberman on guitar and vocals. Rio Nido performed classic jazz and swing of the 1930s and '40s at many Minneapolis hot spots such as The Dakota, New Riverside Cafe and Extempore Coffeehouse. Their first recording was I Like to Riff, released on Shadow Records and featured arrangements of The Boswell Sisters, The Cats and the Fiddle, Stuff Smith, Al Jolson and Nat King Cole.
When Tom Lieberman left the group in the late '70s he was replaced by Roger Hernandez on vocals and drums. Dave Maslow joined on bass and vocals. Rio Nido then focused on the vocalese style of Lambert, Hendricks and Ross and Eddie Jefferson. They also included Doo-Wop classics in their performances.
In 1983 they released Hi Fly on Red House Records and featured Dave Karr on flute and tenor sax and Jimmy Hamilton on piano. Rio Nido’s last recording was Voicings, recorded for the ProJazz label, one of the first early digital recordings released in CD format.

The Crawl
by: Smash MouthHey cousin, I know you
Not long ago in the city zoo
You haven't changed
You still ain't standin' up straight
And I been thinkin' 'bout what we've become
Of what we have, and just look what we've done
Still making fire out of sticks and stones
Standing united all together alone
Do the crawl, do the crawl, do the crawl
Back into the woods
Do the slide, do the slide, yeah you and me
Back into the sea
Hey sister how you been
Last time you saw me I was wearing a fin
Times haven't changed, I'm still swimmin'
Got to the top to get myself some air
I realized that it was better down there
It's like a jungle but there ain't no laws
No helping hands just grubby paws
Do the crawl, do the crawl, do the crawl
Back into the woods
Do the slide, do the slide, yeah you and me
Back into the sea
My naked eye saw a fly in a jar with a hole
Didnt live to tell his kid exactly where not to go
I saw the puppet string screwed into his head
I heard the puppet laugh
I felt the bitter sweat
I can smell the smoke
As well as a rat
I can teach that dog
I can learn from a cat
Throw it in reverse
So I can hit it rigtht
I can taste the blood
Do the crawl, do the crawl, do the crawl
Back into the woods
Do the slide, do the slide, yeah you and me
