However.......
that has now changed. |
|
|
Let's get started --- As it happens every year, I have been
pre-empted at the SHACK for Saturday, March 24th. I will not be there -- it's
MARCH MADNESS! I will return on Saturday, April 7th however. Hope to see you
then! Thanks to all for the
many years of support at the ROCK REST LODGE in Golden Colo. It's not often I
miss a Wednesday night of playing there -- usually it's because of bad
weather or a private party that booked their own entertainment; however, this
once, it is my call. My good friend Lloyd procured some tickets to see BUDDY
GUY perform at the PARAMOUNT March 28th, and I couldn't say "no".
Just wanted to give y'all a "heads up". Thanks to all at the
SIT-N-BULL in Indian Hills for everything. As the weather gets nicer you'll
see me up there more often -- sometimes it's short notice, but Owner PAUL and
I have some "scheduled" dates lined up. (oh
yeah, one of them is MOTHERS' DAY!) I'll see all you "Mothers"
there! Always a good time! SO
..... good news travels "fast as lightnin"! DIRTY DOGS (formerly SUSIE'S) in Golden
Colo. is quite the "happenin' place"! I
cannot tell you how proud I am to be included in the festivities! Every
Thursday night from 6 to 10 pm I perform there, and, now that the season is
upon us, many performances will be out on the brand new patio! (My God, it's
HUGE!) (I never heard that before......) They have invited me to bring the
"ELECTRIC BAND" down from time to time, and added some weekend
dates as well. The "Band" consists of SAM RAY on bass guitar and
vocals, and our old buddy BRUCE CRISMAN on drums and vocals. I'm very
fortunate to be able to share the stage with these gentlemen -- they flat out
ROCK! I can't wait!!!! And keep an eye out for all the other great acts they
have coming in there -- good friends BRYAN HORBUCKLE, and PETE FLETCHER are in the mix as well as the
SLYDERS, BAG LADY SUE, KICKED TO THE CURB, (right on Pat and Roger!!!) ..... always something happening!!! You will never be
disappointed! A shout out and
"Thank You" to good friend PAUL LECHNER for recommending me to the
fine folks at the BLUE SPRUCE BREWING COMPANY. I had the honor of performing
there on Friday, March 9th as a substitute when the scheduled act took ill.
(Call for the understudy!!!) and have been invited
back. Dates yet to be determined, but I'll post as soon as I get them. And,
by the way, check out Paul's new website. And go see him -- you will NOT be
disappointed. And, (just in case I'm
tardy with the next newsletter) looking forward to performing for the ANNUAL
LITTLETON BLOCK PARTY on Saturday, June 9th from 6 to 11pm. Sam Ray and Bruce
Crisman will be joining me onstage -- as with most
of these Downtown Littleton Merchants Association events, we will be doing
acoustic and electric mix. Sometimes solo, sometimes with band -- you know
how this works. It's always a good time, and always a grand adventure! One more item of note
--- In my own humble (and maybe feeble) way, I have been lobbying in an
attempt to get TOMMY BOLIN inducted into the COLORADO MUSIC HALL OF FAME this
year. Not that I am important enough or have clout in any way, but I know
people who do. Personally, I believe it's been a long time coming. I'm
uncertain if it will come to pass, but there are signs that it might. On Friday,
March 30th, our good friend (and Tommy's brother) JOHNNIE BOLIN is bringing
his band TOMMY BOLIN'S DREAMERS to the BOULDER THEATER. (doors
open at 7:00). Tommy's music performed by those who lived it -- guests
include BOBBY BERGE, JEFF COOK, STANLEY SHELDON, LUCAS PARKER, TAYLOR BABB,
MAX CARL, ZAK PISCHNOTTE, not to
mention our good friends CHRIS DANIELS AND THE KINGS. I'm hoping this is a
prelude to induction. I also want to personally thank Chris Daniels and G. Brown for being so gracious to me and sharing
their time and expertise. And, mostly, for not thinking I was just another
WHACK! God bless you guys! It's no wonder y'all are
my heroes! It's back!!! The
LADIES ONLY SAMPLE TOUR will be held (as every year) on the first Thursday of
May (the 3rd, this year). If you have never heard of this event, here's the
scoop -- ladies only remember -- you start at the Reinke
Brothers' store in Historic Downtown Littleton. There you will receive a rose
('cos you deserve it), a tiara ('cos you're a princess), a drink of your
choice ('cos ya want it!), and a
goodie bag ('cos you'll need it). Then you'll be escorted to your next
destination by a bona-fide Chippendale Man. (You won't be disappointed). The
tour will take you all throughout downtown Littleton, stopping at all
participating merchants along the way, where you'll be showered with samples
of candies, perfumes, foods, .... ya know .... STUFF! All to fill your goodie bag. You won't want to miss it. Well, that's about it for now. |

you for your continued support --- you are the best! |
