"Anybody on the Tour who wants to live his rock-and-roll dream will always be embraced by Duck Soup. The Austin-based, eight-piece ensemble - which proudly calls itself the unofficial band of the PGA Tour - entertains at a dozen regular Tour, Senior Tour, Nike Tour and LPGA events a year and recently cut an album titled Dead Solid Perfect, on which several Tour players, not to mention golf fanatic Willie Nelson, sang. In live performances Duck Soup provides a regular haven for frustrated singers Peter Jacobsen, Andrew Magee and Fuzzy Zoeller, guitarists Mark Lye and Larry Rinker, mouth harpist Payne Stewart and cowbell junkie Robert Gamez."
The Washington Post
"The Armey's did a quick twirl to "Brown-Eyed Girl," but the Gingriches stayed on the floor for song after song -- including a version of the Village People's "YMCA, "complete with arm movements spelling out the letters."
USA Today
"On Saturday night... Robert (That's Bob to you) Seger wed Juanita Dorricoft... Duck Soup, a band imported from Austin, Texas, provided rock and R&B classics ... and displaying impressive chutzpah by cranking out Seger's own "Old Time Rock 'n' Roll."
The Houston Chronicle
"Irwin has an expressive face, which he constantly contorts on stage. He is not averse to scratching his body like a monkey. He will make you laugh."

Sam Irwin is the former lead singer of “The Sixpentz”, a very successful band from Houston, Texas. They were one of the hottest bands of that time and much sought after by the major labels. Uni Records eventually signed them and immediately changed their name to “The Fun and Games”. UNI was a small label that had some of the cream of the crop when it came to talented groups. Along with The Fun and Games, UNI had in it's stable, The Strawberry Alarm, Fever Tree, Hugh Masekela, Neil Diamond, and Elton John. The label enjoyed an incredible run and fun with this immense talent. The group had two modest hits back in the late 60's and an album that had relatively good sales. That same album, Elephant Candy by The Fun and Games, has now been re-released in the U.K., and is having a great reception by all ages. The editorial review remarks, “First time on CD and fully remastered. These 60's Texas garage avant-gardists are produced by Gary Zekley of Phil Spector, Jan and Dean fame! For years this rare pop album has been much sought after by collectors.”
