LDS Singles Conference Dance 9-19-08



What a fun Gig! The folks love to dance and the entire crowd danced all, and I mean ALL night long. We even played extra time for them because they were having so much. Funny thing, I met one of the gentlemen who had come to the dance in the bathroom and he asked me to make sure that we played plenty of waltz'. I told him that we had a few for them but mainly, we had some cuddle songs that he ought to take advantage of and savor the moments. He said he would and I think he did.












People seemed to be having tons of fun and it looks like we had many people smiling and dancing away.







The band was short our beloved keyboard player, Larraine, who was off traveling the country with her hubby Kent! We rocked them all night long with just the guitars, acoustic and electric both. Loads of fun.








Kevin, Brians son and our new roadie, was there to capture the moments. He is a nut!


















Now, a short break as far as performances and we'll do some recording the next few weeks.

Private Party For Liz and Scott



We get to the place where we are to play, a beautifully private and quiet neighboorhood, and look at the steep driveway from which we have to unload all of the stuff. It was a good thing there were some treats to eat there!!! ha ha ha...




Once in the backyard, we set up in the corner facing the house and the lawn was rather uneven. Our set up looked rather "Dr. Suess-ish". Our amps were leaning into eachother because of the uneven ground, and we were plenty far apart from eachother that I had to strain to hear Mike and he me. We probably should line out these amps too. Oh well. We did discover why it was so quiet of a neighboorhood. It's because we had a rather reverent croud of several thousand listening right behind us!!! The Cemetery!!!!!! Yikes!!!! All we can say is that we hoped they liked us!!!! We should have played "Roll Over Beethoven"!!!!

Anyway, we were welcomed by a curious and friendly cat, and a rather hungry looking Chau dog! Ended up he was friendly. We hope that we made Liz' day! It was fun.

"Alive after 5" 8-6-08











We put on another show for the folks at the Alive after 5 crowd down town yesterday. Folks stayed, sang and just listened as we sawed out tunes that were all familiar but mostly unheard for years. We even knocked off a rendition of "Dreams I'll Never See" by the Molly Hatchet boys. We forgot to play our new signature song "Riding The Storm Out" because we had moved it down the list Brian says that after he sings that, his throat is shot. I believe it too. He sings his heart out on that one.




Anyway, we had a couple of goof ups on some songs but all in all, we plunked through them. I will say this...IT WAS HOTTER THAN BLAZES out there!




Also, we saw Steve Reed filming us. I wonder what he is coming up with? Hmmmmmmmm????!!!!..... We'll see I guess!




Thanks to all of our supporters and faithful friends and family who come out to rock with us!

2008 Eagle Rock Art Guild Show














































We played right behind a performance by some of our local belly dancers! It was funny...some things just have to be looked at twice!!! Anyway, we opened the show with a song by the Who, "SQUEEZEBOX". ha ha ha

All in all, it was a very fun, low key event where we did some of our best acoustic stuff. Lots of crowds and tons of fun. We're looking forward to next year for this gig.

Also, the last picture includes one of our future band members, Eric David (ED) Perez. Ralph's 2 year old grandson with his dad, Tony!!!

1968 Rigby High Class Reunion 7-12-08






















A wonderful gig up in Rigby at the Old Rigby High School ( Now the Jr High). We dug up the the hits from 1968 and reviewed them and started wailing away at several old tunes. It was fun. These were the songs that many of us as little guys were listening to. This was Larraines 40th High School, Reunion. It was a pleasure to play for them. They seemed to enjoy it.

4th of July @ Scotty's











Well once Again, we played at Scotty's Drive-in (The Most Delicios Burgers and Shakes available in East Idaho) on the 4th. And once again, many of our loyal fans and family were there to hear us bang away at tunes to please the crowd. It was not as hot as previous years and this was fortunate for us. Don't get us wrong, it was still hot. Our beloved Tony ( Bass player) was north attending a family reunion and was in-route while we played. He was sure missed but our good pal and fellow musician Evan Smith ( Master Fiddle Maker) covered for him. Ken made another beautiful guitar (pictured between me and Evan). It was an Explorer with P-90's and a beautiful paint job ala Americana!! It plays beautifully too! I never played it but at least I displayed it there. Also, check out the cool double neck that Ken made. It is an amazingly wonderfuly jangly guitar with the Byrd's sound screaming from it's lutious pickups. Too much fun..... Also, can't forget Mike's "to drool for" collection of high end Strats and Pauls and Ricky's. Also, Brian and his new toy! ha ha ha
