Well hello to my friends. I hope your weekend was a fine one and you got to go out and enjoy some of that great late-fall weather. Some of you even got the scoots out this weekend for one last run with the sun. Sweet!
Let's get right to it.
PPOTW: This week’s pet peeve deals with gasoline. I like when a barrel of oil climbs to $87 like it did last week. Keep in mind - they say this price is slated for January delivery, and the price at the pump today goes up 15 cents in a matter of hours. Damn that pisses me off. And don't tell me what a bargain our gasoline at home is as compared to Europe's. I don't live in freakin' Europe and I don't have passenger train service or buses where I live. So that's my pet peeve of the week. If I'm missing something here e-mail me back. Meanwhile it's just one more thing Pennsylvania has over us. Cigarette prices, clothes without tax and gas that's 15 cents a gallon cheaper - maybe more.
Hey, my new Italian Governor- are you listening here? You have a couple more things to fix while you're rebuilding New York, that our last Governor didn't see.
THIS WEEK’S SHOWS: DINO'S IN BINGHAMTON FRIDAY NIGHT- 11/19- 8:30 START: and SATURDAY EVENING 11/20 - AT THE CENTRAL HOTEL in NINEVEH. FOR HUNTERS APPRECIATION NIGHT- SHOW STARTS 5PM/ FOOD PROVIDED.
Last Friday night’s show at the Hitchin' Post. My goodness what a fun night that was. We had guests come all the way from Windsor way and from points west as well.
And once again we changed up the P.A. format. This time we tried the powered tops over the conventional Peavey's. It’s just one more consideration. Each system has their “good” and “bad” about them.
We did incorporate a full rock and roll sound which was a first at the Hitchin’ Post for us. We've come an long ways since the days of the Ovation and Congas, complete with acoustic percussion for the blues bar sound.
We also changed our location in the bar as well as we pointed due-north for this show. Anyway, we played for three plus hours and had a smokin’ show with only one fifteen minute break the entire evening. The bar had a great crowd and I think both young and old liked what we we’re doing as the dance floor was full for the last few tunes. This show I give a rating of about an 8. The equipment kept it from being higher I think.
On to Sunday, we we’re back to Dean’s in studio's one and two as we continued to work on album #6. I forgot about the greatest hits collection, yep album #6 and “Back to Basics”. We have two more dates for the year as we hope to finish the "foundation" of the album by year’s end.
So that's about it for this week boys and girls.
Remember gun season officially opens next Saturday morning at sunrise. So, beware of both and deer and hunter at this point. Be well and be good, I hope to see you for a couple of great shows this next week.
Be safe/drive safe. Peace and love,
Mikee^Dee
