Greetings to you all, Happy October..... Hey just a quick note before we crank up here. I had to cancel my charity Bench Press fund raiser for this weekend. I was hugely disappointed in the pre-registration numbers and that was the reason for the cancelation. I really thought with “this” being a fundraiser for the Food Bank, that some of my fellow Firefighters as well as Police services would come to the call. I was hoping to accomplish huge goals and consequently achieved nothing. I put much time and effort into this project as well as many friends and family - but it just wasn't meant to be. I'd like to think us ”PlateHeads" are a dying bunch and maybe there just isn't forum out there like there once was. But it's not for lack of trying..- I'll get over it.

So anyway- moving on- Let's go to this week in Rock History:

Janis Joplin dies of a heroin overdose just days before finishing the Pearl' Album This week in
1970.
Also this week had John Lennon still been alive we would have celebrated his 69th birthday.

On to the Review:

Saturday’s show up to the Post was nothing short of perfection. This new semi-acoustic setup was just
what we had been striving for now for better part of a year. Darrell played his new electric acoustic bass guitar through his amp, and it sounded awesome. KW hooked through the P.A. with his Martin guitar and I brought a kick
drum a snare and Conga's for a great balanced sound. Not a common site from any band - trust me.
The crowd was fair and actually picked up later in the evening. We were just getting started – so we may have to
start just a bit later next time. If you missed this show - we will try it again on Thanksgiving Weekend (Saturday, November 28th) - if you like the softer side of SCB then don't miss this show - we should have this perfected.

And this weekend we play our last outside show of the year up to the Afton Sportsman Club. The show
begins at 1pm, and it's supposed to be stormy that day. (Why would we expect anything less?)

And Sunday - Big news - we continue work on the “Full Circle” Album. It’s been awhile, and we can't wait to get
this puppy in the can. It seems like we’ve been on this project for some time. It's so hard to schedule all the guest musicians... But we keep pluggin..

Be Good Be Well, see you all soon,
