Sims Bowling Alley

And the band rattles off another good show! Sims bowling alley was a really good time. I got to dance with Holly (happy birthday honey...22 is a great age) as I promised I would last week, and it was nice having a warm body close for a change (I had to keep thinking... baseball, baseball, baseball. lol I'm TEASING! Thats Randy's girlfriend now so stop it!) So... I also noticed that we have a new follower to the blog. Welcome Roxanne! Unfortunately, because we are all getting old and feeble minded, we couldn't remember you unless you are the really attractive Roxanne we met at the Paramount (we never forget a pretty face!)

Speaking of really attractive pretty faces.... Thanks Lori for all of the wonderful compliments about the band. Its great to meet new people and we were grateful for the opportunity to meet YOU. Thank the couple you came out with for bringing you and for their compliments as well. Hope to see you again real soon... now that you have a schedule, it should be easier, and if you (or anyone else) loses or misplaces the schedule, you can see it online at http://www.southernspiritsband.com/ or email us at southernspiritsband@gmail.com and we will get back as soon as possible. We try to get to our email frequently, but sometimes we forget (Its that old and feeble thing again). Oh yes.... and Lori? Since you left early with your ride, you missed: Ramblin Man and Melissa/Allman Bros, Long Train Runnin/Doobie Bros, Can't You See and 24 Hours at a Time/Marshall Tucker, Keep on Rocking in the Free World/Neil Young, Stealin/Uriah Heap, Hold Your Head Up/Argent, Needle and the Spoon/Skynyrd and I'm sure I am forgetting some more. But thanks again! You were great! AND the more pretty faces in the crowd? The more guys come to see the pretty girls... that means more people seeing the band and thats just good business. Since you came with friends, if you ever need a lift to see a show, just email us and we will see what we can do to get you to and from safe and sound or just call the number on the business card anytime.

Thanks to all of the guys from AWS up in New Castle for coming down and catching the show. Wiz, Shawn and Shaky and your girls too! Thanks to Randy our roadie for making it and helping tear down and load out. I actually got home before 2:30! Now we just gotta get you there when we set up and load in (lol). Thanks to the two lovely young ladies who were dancing throughout the first and second set. Didn't get to meet you or get your names, but you were alot of fun and seemed to have fun too. (and I have to admit that teasing you was incredible fun for me)

And why is it many of the bars we play advertise us as The Southern Spirit Band??? That last "S" always seems to get lost. Hmmmm I don't know. Other things I wonder about are: The farther away timewise I get from my ex-wife... the more fun I'm having with the band it seems. The wives and girlfriends all say I am more interactive with the crowd and seem to be REALLY happy. Yeah... I guess its true. But since hardly anybody really reads the blog, and I seem to be the primary writer.... I can pretty much let my private life all hang out here. Coooooool.

Next week is Six Packs in New Castle! Always pack 'em in there like sardines. Great place to play. Don't miss the halloween party at the Alpine across the street from Sims on the 31st. Can't wait to see you all.
