Why The "Mound City" Slickers?
The Slickers are a St. Louis, MO band and remember that, before St. Louis was "The Gateway City", it was known as "The Mound City".
According to Wikipedia:
The area that would become St. Louis was a center of the indigenous Mississippian culture, known at its peak about 1200 CE for building elaborate and complex city sites with numerous earthworkmounds for ceremonial and burial purposes. The mounds, now almost all destroyed by nineteenth-century development, earned the later European-American city the nickname of "Mound City".
