We had a great first night, and people danced to every song. It was like a dream come true, we couldn't had asked for more. We ended up doing several songs that we had never done before, cause they were crowd requests.
"little deuce coupe", "the loco-motion", "one night", "proud mary", "wipe out",
"margaritaville", "for the good times".........Before we started the gtr player heard an older gentleman tell his wife "I have esp I , their first song is going to be Release Me " Well we had planned on opening with "pink cadillac" but just to make this ole guy wonder, I announce " We seem to have a compelling urge to start with "release me" , so thats what we did , and all the over 60 crowd packed the dance floor !! We got free drinks all night, but we also had a few shots bought for us. So it was quite an amazing night. It felt good, cause by the end of night all the guys in the group were still having a great time. I have been in bands before that by the end of the night ya wonder why you're even playing with these guys. Anyway this cute 30 something blonde bartender told the drummer that we were "f*ck*** awesome" which is always a good sign that people like you. The main man at this Moose club that we were at said that they haven't had the dance floor packed like this in a long time and that they would have us back. Like I said it was the most wonderful night !! Our next gig is in two weeks when we play about an hour away from where we live in a small town called Jonesville. We can't wait. I'm thinking about doing "yer so bad" by TP. Would people think that neat ? I've always liked that song and I think people would like it. In an unrelated note, this other site that I go to that is beatle/ british invasion oriented site, you can post your songs, well I sent them to my recording bands my space page, and the reviews of my 3 songs there have been very positve. One guy said my one song was the byrds reincarnated and another guy said he thought one song was a combination dylan / Tom Petty influenced !! I thought that was neat, cause thats what I was aiming at.
Well gotta get back to work, building shelves for the wife and she is a real task master.
peace

Great I hope I can find this. He is an amazing drummer. I feel that the Dvd could've been so much more with his current view, I really wish he would've talked to the movie people, and made a guest appearance with the band at that florida concert !! Oh well, ya have to respect his wishes.

I wish you would've listed "Sandy". I love that tune, especially the Hollies version of it. I once was in love with a woman named Sandy, and she loved me too, but I was to dumb to follow my heart. Now everytime I hear that song, tears come to my eyes, and I think of her.
"Hey Sandy ...... Oh love me tonight for I may never see you again, Hey Sandy girl , my my my baby "

I like the example of both Ringo Starr and Elvis. In the anthology series, Ringo talks about how when they became famous, all of sudden everyone wanted to know what they think. Here he was a 23 year old guy, and the world was asking questions that he knew nothing about, but he said he would reply and they would write it up. He said nobody cared for his opinion before he became famous. When Elvis was asked in 72 about other performers political views, he replied that he was just an entertainer. He didn't see anything wrong with other people speaking out, but it wasn't for him. Now I think everyone has a right to voice their opinion, when you have so much power, you have to be oh so very careful. Imagine if you swayed people one way, and it turned out to be the wrong way and people got hurt. Or even worse killed. Most famous people have no clue to the common mans plight, and it's so easy to say things that will not directly affect you.

It would be great to get a thread about Mike's and Tom's guitar collection !!

A few years back, a guy called Russ Wapinski, or something like that, was reported working on a book detailing all the LA sessions for the years 60-69 or something like that. He's using union contracts to show who played on what.
I've talked to Carol Kaye through her site, and she says he is still working on it.
Should be great, and huge, when it finally comes out.

viagra........(just joking !! ) When I can't sleep I'm usually thinking about bills, or bad things that have happened to me in my life and how I can correct them. Sometimes when I've been recording the thought of finishing the song keeps me awake. Sometimes I get a burst of energy about 10:30 at night and I can't sleep. I usually sleep from 11:30 to 5:00 am and work from 6 to 6 get home about 6:30. So usually by thurs I am beat.

I've been to the chicago beatlefeast and met Donavon, Mike Evans of Badfinger, Billy J. Kramer, Mark Hudson, and loved it. I met lots of Beatle authors too, ones that I had bought their books, so that was neat too. Lots of fun. thanks for the pictures.

I wonder what kind of home the "step" mom came from. So often abusers were abused theirselves and never got help, or were kept silent. Good on the drivers and school for going further with this. Many times people don't want to be bothered. In my county a PPO that was issued against my ex's then husband for trying to smother her with a pillow and telling her that he was going to cut the "f**king heads off her children and send their bodies back to their father (me) in a body bag" was kept hidden from me for 14 years. I only discovered it by mistake while going through some court files a year ago, looking for some unrelated information. Funny how even the "authorities" can hide the facts. At the time I was trying to say that the girls visitations were unsafe. The friend of the court in Monroe were to be busy trying to defend the mother,( as she was saing her husband was a nice man) and were not looking out for the children's best interest. Its funny for how far we've come as a society that many people in power still believe that only a "woman" or "mother" can raise a child. Then when something like this happens, everyone turns their heads. Last year we had a man's girlfriend kill a little 2 year old !!
Yes, Virginia there are some wicked women too !!

Detroit.......cops are mean and nasty, and crooked. City looks like its abandoned. Street people try to wash your windshield when you're at a stop sign. Buildings standing empty that look like they need to be torn down. Just awful. But lots of people don't want to face the truth, so they pretend its on a comeback.....( They've been saying that since the '70's ! )
Ever wonder how long a comeback lasts ? I much prefer Columbus or Lansing but they are further away, but are cleaner from what I've seen.

BJ's ? never heard of that one.
1. K's (which use to be called Sterlings)

I seen braveheart, and although I enjoyed it, I wouldn't say it was a great movie.
Lately (since January) the only thing I've watched other than kids show with my boys, are music dvd's/ vhs , and The adventures of Ozzie & Harriet....we got the 12 dvd set for christmas and have been watching an episode whenever we get the chance. It usually takes us 2 / 3 days to get through a movie, cause we are tired and we go to bed.
