By:  Eissler                                                      H.R. No. 1856



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives and the "Live 
Music Capital of the World" are pleased to welcome Dallas favorites 
the MalFunktions to Austin's famed Continental Club on Sunday, June 
1, 2003, at 8 p.m.; and
	WHEREAS, Fresh from their standing-room-only gig in the 
Greenville Avenue Dairy Queen parking lot, this popular party band 
is living proof that you're never too old to rock--as long as you 
keep your prescriptions current; and
	WHEREAS, Featuring the talents of State Representative Bill 
"The Thrill" Keffer, H. Len "Muskrat" Musgrove, Esq., Dwight "Don't 
Call Me Dwight" Fletcher, Craig "Mad Dog" Milacek, Charles "Chucky" 
Haggard, and K. "Awesome" Lawson Pedigo, Esq., the MalFunktions are 
a musical genre unto themselves; and
	WHEREAS, Playing a mix of contemporary favorites and hits 
from yesteryear, as well as original tunes such as "When the Gavel 
Comes Down," "That Dog Won't Hunt," "Record Vote," "Table This," 
and "Ardmore Blues," the MalFunktions have performed in front of 
upwards of 15 people; and
	WHEREAS, These dedicated musicians dream of someday making it 
big in the music biz, or at least of having a cult following of 
sycophantic groupies, but until that time they're content to exist 
in relative anonymity; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the Honorable Bill Keffer and the 
members of the MalFunktions for sharing their musical stylings with 
the denizens of the city of Austin and offer best wishes to them for 
a memorable show at the Continental Club; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for the MalFunktions as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives.
