Well at this writing much has happened with our beloved band. We have played several gigs with Larraine's Mint Condition Band. We've all slid over a chair and either have run the sound, played guitar or sang songs that we don't know to well. We have enjoyed the play time with Mint Condition and we will be supporting them through a few more this year.
Also, we will be playing in shifts at the Festival of Trees here in Idaho Falls on various days. Tony and Julie Perez and all of their Kids will be singing and performing at 1 p.m. on Nov 18. Larraine and her 3 generations will be performing at 4 on the same day. Seth, Mike and Ralph (The Original "Looking Back Band" Line-up) will be on at 8 on the 18th of November. Larraine, Steve, & Lorane will be on the day of the 20th. Plus I'm sure we will be gathered as the 40 Somethin to fill in spots at night. Come if ya can.
Currently we are working on our newest recording ( number 8). We've got five songs in the box and will lay down another few songs and try to put one or two on the blog soon.
Our most devastating news came as a surprise. Our beloved Main Man lost his Eternal Companion last month. To our beloved friend Mike, and to his beautiful wife now gone Terry, We love you both. You're in our prayers and forever Terry, you will be in our minds. Thanks so much for being amoungst one of our best fans. Terry, we'll take care of Mike!!! Just like you took care of many of us. We will behave as now were too old to really mess up anymore (except Tony and he's a saint!) You really never had to worry. Were just old dogs on a porch just wagging our tails at them all. We no longer chase them like we did when we were young!!! wink wink!!
Our counsel to Mike and his beautiful family
Matt. 11: 28
28 ¶ Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Thank you Ralph.. sweet post.
Hey.. who did the pencil drawing? I love it!
Ralph....Thanks for your kind comments. You and the band are "true" friends. Terry loved each of you and Im sure shes making arrangements to get us "on the cover of the Rolling Stone"
Mike
Ralph, you will never know how much our family appreciates you. My Dad is a lucky old fart to have you as a friend.
Nat
ps...who did the scetch? WOW......it looks awesome!
Love the portrait of you guys, although Ralph must have paid someone a little extra to make him look that good! :) I'm so glad my dad has the band and I'm sure you will all be missing my mom's fudge this year. I would offer to take on that responsibility, but I think I'll nominate Kim to do that, or actually Jenn might be better for that job. Wish I could come to the Festival of Trees tonight!
