Greetings once again too you all and Happy October!
We had a busy week last week was so let's get right to it.
This week in Rock and Roll History - Abbey Road Album by The Beatles is released this week in 1969:
Jerry Lee Lewis accidently shoots his Bass Player -twice - while celebrating his birthday (it must have been
a great party there in 1976)
So in comes Friday night. Once again a terrific show up to the Coyote’s Bar in Binghamton. We had two guest players sit in that night as well. Thanks again Phil and Wally Jo for coming up and jamming with us.
I still think we are one of the few active bands anymore that let "friends" or even audience people sit
in while we play... It's what music is really all about in the first place- creation...isn't it?

Then we all decided on a late night snack up to the truck stop-- but that's another whole story for another there. I guess if you don't have something good to say- stifle it. KW taught me well.

So 4 hours later - Saturday begins. We all met up and decided on a couple cocktails and some dinner as we
put together the 2010 calendar.. Looks a bit challenging for the later part of July into early August. But I'm
sure we'll be just fine. (STURGIS STURGIS)

So, after a great supper up to Applebee's- off to the shows. First up, Jeff and Patty’s new band {Pawn Shop}. They were playing a benefit up to the Relief Pitcher in Binghamton. First time we got to take in the new
Sublime - Jamaican Reggae type music venue. I loved to watch these guys play - Jeff you rocked on that Strat and Patty you absolutely tore up “Gunpowder and Lead” - Nice job.. You guys were tight

Then on to Bobby's Place.... Wally Jo's band... We sat there for the better part or 2 hours and watched these
guys perform.. Never heard a band do “Sixteen Tons” and there were a few other stand outs as well like “I hear you knockin'” and not to mention “Cocaine Blues”. You guys rock too!

So off to home for some much needed sleep. I had a golf tournament to play early Sunday morning "In The Rain" of course and the on to Gordy's Place in Windsor to play
