Nobody can say that the Mormons can't Rock & Roll all night long! Because they did for this little band.
Of course, it wasn't the 40 Somethin Band but rather the "Mint Condition Band". Or was it "Odds and Ends" or was it "Barry Jive and the Uptown Five"? Ha ha ha ha What ever we were it was fun. Larraine is so good to invite us from
the 40 Somethin to help with her and Steve's collaboration of musicians. These guys are some of the best Crooners in Town. Josh, Larraine's boy can sing like no tommorrow ( as only the Crooners can). Steve Reed, is the ultimate Idaho Crooner), Larraine with her Sweet and ever so masterful voice adds all the neccesary class that the band could ever need and her playing is like off the charts. Leighton Linning (alias Lightning Boy), Larraine's son, was with us that night. He was one of the originals in their group as was Josh, and does he have a knowledge of music. The kid is all Jazz and Hot Country Pickin! That's why we nicknamed him Lightnin'Boy! he put this old man to the paces (Ralph). Brian ( alias Thunder Foot) Pounded new holes in his drums all night. They sprung a couple of songs on him that we didn't practice together. It worked though. Just like Butter. He is an amazing drummer and percussionist. Our ever faithful Ken Dodge was running the sound tonight instead of up here doing the Allman Brothers double duty as we like( btw- there is nothing like playing on stage with 2 drummers. it is so immensely thick and easy to play with!). Also, Kim Dodge was with him to keep him in check with the sound. I think the sound guy works just as hard all night at a gig as the musicians. 16 channels and volumes going up and down all night long and band members complaining about the monitors! Darned musicians anyway.

None the less, it was fun and we can't wait to do it again! Thanks LDS Singles for the opportunity to play for you guys!
