Three Pound Universe : Toppers : Saturday, February 19

Well Wade, it was all that I expected and more. You and the boys were fantastic! The bar was cool, your friends were nice, and I haven't seen you so animated, wound up and on in a while! I am so glad you insisted I come! (I didn't cramp your style too much did I?) I hope you enjoyed yourself as much as you seemed to be! (even trying to sneak those shots in front of mom! ;) ) The only trouble now, the next gig isn't until APRIL! Get on it and fix that schedule!!!! Meanwhile, we shall have to make due with AB,CB stuff... Give me more music suggestions soon, I need input!

glad you had a good night (Wed night and last night) Thanks for talking with me about music, I miss that... don't forget to let me know where to be to help you avoid lameness... ;)

The Flying Toasters : Kelly's Grille : Thursday, December 9

ahhh, Bill, Thanks for caring! as a matter of fact I think I need to thank the whole band for the same reason! What a great group of people you have surrounded yourself with! :)

I do plan to come by sometime during the evening on Friday...

Gigi & Faith, Thanks for the hugs, I needed them! Eric thanks for the friendly greeting in the parking lot, TOO FUNNY!

Thanks for coming over to chat with me Wade, sometimes I dont think before I act, or I think too much and dont act, and just when I'm ready to just forget it all, you come along and say just the right thing at just the right time... thanks for just being there when I need you most, just when the despair seems to be seeping in.

Just a couple of random thoughts, well, not so random:

ever wonder why you even bother to do something? I started a new job this week, then got sick with the flu, got to felling better, then was slammed by a reply to a comment I posted on a forum about a band I love, and I wonder why I even bother.... fortunately there are people and bands who really appreciate the way I feel. To them I say Thank you, as most of them check this journal, to the others, (You know who you are), I say BAH HUMBUG!

The Flying Toasters : Kelly's Grille : Friday, December 3

Again an awsome show!!! Bill, if I weren't otherwise spoken for on New Year's Eve, I would come to Mickeys! However, you know where I will be...

Thanks for doing "You Are" - I LOVE that tune...

Can you believe I was out two nights in a row? ;)

The Flying Toasters : Kelly's Grille : Thursday, December 2

Great show gang! I will take care of those photos for you Sonja! ;) Chris, it was nice chatting with you, THANKS for being so friendly! Bill, yeayea! :)

Wade, MarkB, Eric & Ben... nice to see you at Moe&Johnny's...

Thanks for the invite to chill with you after, it was fun, hope I'm not wearing out my welcome...

Alligator Brothers : Lulu's : Wednesday, December 1

Definitely a good night! Fabulous GROOVE!

XOXOXOX

So after spending all day Thanksgiving in a dark room because of a migraine, I arrived at my Mom's around lunchtime Friday. I didn't hardly have time to visit the powder room! We jumped in the car and started driving. After stopping for a delicious meal at an Amish restaurant we continued south! The sun was shining, and what a fabulous drive... arriving in Lawrenceburg In around 3:30 ish, we decided to "drop anchor" at the casino for the weekend. Great food, good company, and just a small bit of gambling... it was nice to be up enough to pay for the hotel all weekend!! ;)

It was a nice diversion to an otherwise bad time of the year, two years to the day (Friday) that dad is gone now, and it was much better to be away from home NOT celebrating Thanksgiving... I did, however miss my music, and my loving friends...

and for all those musicians out there, my favorite movie quote:

... to truely love some silly little piece of music or some band soooo much, that it hurts...

Flying Toasters : Shots : Tuesday, November 23

hehehehe, great show... Thanks for the kind words and hugs Bill, I needed that! ;)


Alligator Brothers : Lulu's : Wednesday, November 24

Wade and Henry feeding off each other! Marvelous guitar showdown! It was great to see Donn!

Thanks for inviting me over too Wade, I enjoyed the conversation, music and the wine. I'm sorry for being mad. I hope we are still friends.... ;)

don't make friends with musicians, friendship is the booze they feed you, make your reputation on being honest and unmerciful.... "lester bangs" ~Almost Famous

Flying Toasters : Shots : Tuesday, November 16

Alligator Brothers : Lulu's : Wednesday, November 17

Great Scott : Peppers : Thursday, November 18

It was fun hanging out with Amy again, Thanks GIRL! The band was fun, but where was the bottom?


Three Pound Universe : Rathskeller : Friday, November 19

Ahhhh, music feeding my soul, but you know the stronger, the deeper, the LOVE, the harder, the heavier the HURT.


Steepwater Band : Slippery Noodle : Friday, November 19

The boys from the northwest corner are back to a three piece band, and it was STILL kicking!!!

Three Pound Universe : Kelly's Grille : Friday, November 12

WOW! Thanks boys, I needed that! a complete attitude adjustment! the music has fed my soul.

Fabulous! need I say more? :)

The Flying Toasters : SHOTS : Tuesday, November 9

Fun show, but just a bit too much country for me, Bill, its the ability of all to switch places in the middle of controlled chaos that makes it cool!
