Wild & Wooly Weekend

Hey everyone, yeah I know it's been awhile since the last post but as they say "better late than never" right? Well, this weekend's show at the Firehouse was very interesting to say the least and full of fun, good music and some challenges. First off, we had our original drummer Jimmy-Ben-Jammin' with us for Friday's show and we had a b-l-a-s-t; we played some old songs we haven't done since Lyle started and some of the ones we used to perform when we were just starting out...good times. Saturday was full of chills (I was sicker than a dog: temp of about 100 and spraying Chlrolaseptic Throat Spray before each set and literally shivering the whole damn night), thrills (Dave was attending to some personal business and didn't arrive until later in the night), spills (someone spilled Lyle's beer...how rude) and more. I thought it went well; in fact, I thought it went better than I had expected with our buddy Bergie filling in a guitar and singing a few tunes. We even kept a theme going thru the weekend by having Louie, Jim's replacement, filling in for the night. All in all the weekend was fun, although stressful and challenging at times, and I'm ready for a little break so I can shake the f#@kin' cold and get back to learning some more new tunes. We're still going thru the "list" and weeding out some of the so-so tunes for new ones & some good ol' rock songs that we love to play too. Until next time, keep on keepin on and we'll see ya at the show!
