  1. This is beyond words.....how can any father or mother do this ? Another case where the authorities, are not doing their job. Was this girl never missed in school, or the community ? How could she have those kids and not have some type of medical help and care ? God help us all if this is what our world is coming to.


  2. This gig went well too. We loaded all the equipment plus 3 band members inside my ford van. We had the PA system, 4 monitors, mic stands, drums, 4 amplifiers, keyboards, key. stand, lights, 8 guitars, various other accessories.

    It took us almost 2 hours to get there. I could only go about 45 MPH.

    The night went well, the Tom Petty song "yer So Bad" even had a few dancers. We did a real knock out version of "born to be wild". Plus we added "family tradition" & "long hair country boy" by requests that night.

    They want us back so I have to call them this week and get some further bookings. We stopped at Mcdonalds for some burgers after the gig, seen 8 deer on the return trip. (4 in downtown Hillsdale eating grass in front of a gas station). We split the gas cost, and it took less than 10 gallons. The place was 65 miles each way. I got home and in bed at 4 am. ( I had been up the day before from 5 am friday morning to 3am Sat. morn ). I had to get up at 9 am Sunday so the lack of sleep really affected my energy level on Sunday !

    When I finally got to bed Sunday night I couldn't fall to sleep and ended up sleeping from 1:30 am to 5:10 this morning. Right now I am very tired.

    Our next gig is in 2 weeks, on May 10. But I am looking forward to going to bed tonight !!


  3. Great article, but what about Mike and Benmont ? Aren't they "big names" too ? They are in my book . The way these articles read sometimes you'd think that Tom is the only famous person in the band, or the writer is not aware that these two have done things besides the heartbreakers . Mike is probably or at least one of, the greatest guitarist around. Look at all the famous people that Mike and Benmont have played with, plus the songs they have wrote for others.


  4. 1. What is heaven ? Finding out the truth about myself and purpose for being in the life that I am in today.

    2. what is older than you ? the hurt that I sometimes feel

    3. Where do you belong ? Not sure at times, sometimes I think far away

    4. Who is no longer a stranger to you ? I'm not sure, sometimes I don't even know myself

    5. Friday fill in: I hear.....a voice calling me....deep inside...that sometimes makes me cry.....


  5. I only hear a "live" band when I play somewhere, to busy to get out otherwise. I was working with a guy that used ear plugs, and he was always complaining the bass was to loud. When I told him to take out his plugs, everything was okay. Not working with him anymore.


  6. Whenever we have a party ( boys birthday, family get together ) We clean our house top to bottom ! I tell my wife that people know we have 2 little ones and they keep it pretty messed up, but she says a woman needs a clean house and gets depressed when its "dirty and messy". Oh well......


  7. Hello fellow michiganders !! And yes Hillsdale is near Indy. Mt. Pleasant, I played at that college back in '77 !! It was at some party, but my memory escapes me what it was for. I remember sleeping in my station wagon after the gig when I tried to drive back home, and got to tired. My girlfriend and a girl friend of hers was with me and we all slept inside a Galaxie Ford Wagon, along with a bass amp and guitars and a small P.A. Aah those were the days !!
