Hey good friends! I hope this finds you
all well and happy! It's been a while since I last updated the
newsletter -- I have kept the calendar up to date relatively well, but the
newsletter itself has been slow in coming. Sometimes it's because I just haven't
had the time (I DO get so caught up with things) --- sometimes it's because
(and I can't lie to you about this) I get lazy --- Usually it's because I
don't have enough information to publish on special events, or times
changing, venues changing, dates changing, or anything NEW to speak of --
sometimes there's really nothing new to report. Lately it's been a little of
everything ............... however, right NOW, there IS much new to report! ------Thanks
to the Reinke Brothers (Greg and Chris) and all the
staff for inviting us again to play at the HAUNTED MANSION this season. The
time went by SO fast, and we didn't want the season to end --- we had a
blast! Thanks to all who supported the MANSION, and celebrated the Halloween
Season with us. I took many pictures, and they will be displayed on this site
(soon), but I have to say --- I changed nothing on my camera from the usual
settings --- but the pictures came out VERY haunting! I think spooks got in
my camera!! See for yourselves! ------Thanks
to everyone at O'Furrys' for allowing me to take
time off every year to play at the HAUNTED MANSION. Now that the season is
over, I will resume my regularly scheduled performances there -- back on
Friday, November 11th (whoa, 11/11/11/!!) just in time to celebrate Jim
Woods' birthday!! It'll be good to see you all again! ------Which
brings us to -- We're back at the Shack!!! We will be returning to the Shack
Saturday, November 12th. Thanks to Jack, Ron, Don, and all the staff there
for, also, allowing us the time off to play the MANSION. It will be good to
be back! See you all there. -----Thanks
to good friends Johnny Miller, Greg and Deb Lee, Jeff Shoaf,
and all the Buckaroos -- because of my affiliation with them, and their
gracious acceptance of me into their circle, I have been asked by Trey St.
John (one of the new owners of Fortune Valley in Central City, and part of
the "Buckaroo" family) to bring the "Electric Band" up to
their new live music venue, the "LAVA ROOM". As most of you know
the "Electric Band" performs for only very special occasions -- I
will be joined by Brian Bartlett on drums, and Eric Schmid
on bass. We will be performing there Friday, November 18th from
9pm-12midnight, and then again Saturday, December 3rd -- 9pm-12midnight.
Thanks to Gina Pompili and Randy Whetstine for all their patience with me in putting the
schedule together. This promises to be a VERY fine venue and I'm honored to
be invited to perform there. ------I
have been asked by good friend and all around "Biker Goddess" Kathy
Alexander at the HAWGBACK SALOON in Golden Colorado to play for a motorcycle run
to raise funds for Cyndi Szulczewski. She has been
diagnosed with breast cancer, and, of course, insurance isn't covering much.
She is also a Marine's wife -- two things near and dear to my heart -- how
could I say "no"?? (Semper Fi!!) The run is to be held Saturday, November 5th (rain
or shine -- probably in a car or truck) beginning at the Rock Rest (also in
Golden Colorado), last bike (or car) out at 10:30am, and ending at the
HAWGBACK (last bikes and/or cars in around 2-3pm) with stops at In The Zone @
44th & MacIntyre, Rocky Flats Lounge on highway
93, then to Juggs up north (you can find it). I
will be performing at the HAWGBACK for the run from 2 or 3 o'clock until
they're done, then performing my regular gig there from 7-11pm. Long day YES.
Good cause YES. -----Speaking
of good causes and playing benefits -- I was contacted by good friend Gina Strickler about performing for another fundraiser -- this
one to benefit good friend Patty Dunlap, who is also fighting cancer -- to be
held at the Aurora Summit Steakhouse (Havana and Yale) on Sunday, November
13th from 3-7pm. There will be an auction, half price appetizers, happy hour
prices on drinks, and good times for a good cause. I will again be joined by
Brian Bartlett and Eric Schmid, and we will try not
to blow the doors off (they have been warned -- the Summit is not
particularly known as a "hard rock" venue) so we will attempt to
keep the damage to a minimum. Thanks
to the new owners, the Novaks, for sponsoring this
event, and to Gina for all the hard work in putting it together. And to all
of you for your support. ------As
I look back on this newsletter it occurs to me --- the band is with me a lot
over the October/November months. Every year, the Wednesday before
Thanksgiving (this year November 23rd), I bring the "electrics"
into the Rock Rest for a customer appreciation show, and a kickoff to the
Holiday Season. This year's performance promises to be something to write
home about -- maybe a few surprises up our sleeves -- you will have to be there
to find out. I promise (and I NEVER make promises I can't keep) you will NOT
be disappointed! ------We
cannot forget Jerry D's!!! Eric and I will be performing some Saturday nights
during the "off season" there. Look for us November 19th from
8pm-12midnight, and Saturday, December 17th (same times). We'll have some
fun! And don't forget -- if I don't talk to you before that -- NEW YEARS EVE
at Jerry D's!!!!! Let the good times roll!! ------Thanks
to Kenny Lee and Murray and all the staff for a great (and extended) season
on the Buffalo Rose Patio! With the weather being as whacky as it has been,
we have eeked out a few more patio performances
than expected. If the weekend weather becomes fine again, don't be surprised
to see us there pretending it's summer! --- Well, that's about enough for now. If I
don't get another chance to update this newsletter beforehand, have a
wonderful Holiday Season!! |
