its been a while

HEY! I just worked 75 hours this week! Crap! Doesn't give me much time on the blog. Especially working the 10P til ? shift. Anyway, we are playing Six Packs tonite. Promises to be a huge crowd for such a small intimate joint. Lookin forward to it. The guys are in for a surprise tonite....what I like to call the let's pull a song out of our collective asses part of the show. This is when we take a song we have never played out live together and play it for an audience. The menu tonite is Take The Highway by Marshall Tucker. We'll see how it goes. I am excited about tnite. Next week too since its' Huey's people and his turf. It's about time we played for his crowd. We still gotta hit Butler for Frank, and I am sure we will play there soon. Hmmmmm, gotta talk to Moe about all of the Ellwood City bookings cuz you can only play 1 small town so many times. We have 3 weeks in a row there, although the crowds in Ellwood ARE the BEST! Don't get me wrong, the crowds eveywhere we play are great, but Ellwood hoots and hollers and dances and screams and cheers. 50 people sound like 500! Cant wait to see what the crowds south of here are like. Been workin like a dog these past few weeks. The money is nice, but I havent had time to try and get the recordings done for the big shots. Hope that boat hasnt sailed. Speaking of Marshall Tucker earlier.... hear we are playing WITH them sometime this fall. Exciting stuff. Well....til next free 5 minutes.....maybe in a few weeks (haha).
