Hey Friends,
I am away for two weeks on vacation. You are entirely
justified wondering when am I ever here taking care of
business. Life is been too much of a pedal to the medal cab driving
experience lately, and as usual know one to blame but myself.
Vacation. Old Bills new Bills. Braking down equipment. High Tech
world, low Tech Guy. Driven.
Hey it's OK Guy, maybe a getaway is what you need.
We will just see what happens as the Summer turns to Fall, but
that is not now. Now is Now. Great Music in the Park in my Town,
thank you The Roadoilers, and Rusty Evans and Ring of Fire that was
today, thank you. You rocked us well and thanks for showing up you
all that did and you know who you are. Thanks to The Green Room with
special guest Tommy Odetto of Soul Pie (No, the band is
still together or at least a new variation) young hot players Tony
Owens, Buddy Owens son, and the what were almost the Monophonics but
were not quite, opening up two weeks ago.
A brilliant and beautiful concert by the Tubes last weekend in
SF. A great reunion and wonderful tribute to Vince Welnick. Spooner
was terrific... both of them. Please check out that band coming to a
town near you. WPOD was insane...
Please please kids keep the Heck away from all those sick
drugs out there, you ain't no fun to no one destroyed. No fun at
all. Crap is Crap. Rock Clean or can't you just stick with a pint
and an occasional whiff of herb. Yes you can Rock High and Sober too
yes you can you just have to be a bit of a nut, a bit bolder than
the average nut, yes you can can we need you to say yeah to Nothing
just give me the good Rock. Some day we will prove it. .. we will
Rock High. I know there are a lot of you living the Spirit Rock
lifestyle.
Thanks for the good Rock:
The Rob Robinson Band with Felix Brian and Lee are starting
to move into the next dimension lately please check them out at 19
Broadway on Wednesdays and their occasional Rafters gig these guys
are living and playing in stellar dimensions.
Chuck Day Burning it up on Friday Night at Peri's. There is
no better Old School Rocking than Chuck's. Wendy Fitz impressing me
more and more on keyboards, Howie Court back in on drums, Tim, Sam
no I don't take you for granted... Noah Schull did a very capable
job sitting in on rhythm guitar. Actually quite difficult I would
say to play gracefully under this initial expedition and you don't
know what Chuck is going to want to play and Noah handled it real
well. Danny Uzi came in and closed out the show with Chuck doing
Delta Lady. The new CD is coming along and according to the
engineers it merits a whistle a shake of the head as if to say this
stuff is the Shit, is Sick, is the Bomb all that weird way of saying
those guys, Chris and Zeke at KP Studios, think.... they have Chuck
Day great music on tape from studio work, mostly
self-accompanied a bit raw I guess. I hope it is. We will hear soon.
Who am I forgetting? Everybody... no... hey Honey Dust,
Darren and the boys rocking hard at the 4th Street Tavern Love them.
Love the Marones those guys rate a definite check them out.
Oh that's right, Spin Out..... do not miss Spin Out. Anybody
who likes to keep an eye on who is making hot music.. Not just
because of Danny Uzi formerly (shush.. get over it Guy!) of Chrome
Johnson playing with them again and they seem to be plotting even
more madness. Rockabilly Black Sabbath and Radar Love was hot. Of
course their lead singer Matt is a great vocalist already they don't
need Danny there and their guy Tom, on Guitar is just a ripping fine
guitar I mean you don't really need Danny there, but Holy CMoly if
you do add him in there... things get really really interesting.
Sanford is working on Groovebone.
Bruce Foreman, jazz guitarist in town next month doing some
kind of Country Bee-Bop... is this world swinging too far with all
this Country stuff? Tim Bush says check him out!
It's Country and Western remember Guy and you are West... but I am
going East and maybe I am just really going .......South.
Hey Darren and Danny are knee deep working on their Rock Opera
too.
Danny Montana and Buckaroo Bonet and Crash
Landing.
Life moves right along.
Lil Denny
again, as I ride off into the sunrise.
Frontier Airlines to El Paso.
Then across the Rio Grandio.
My Bon Voyage ahead, God willing,
Peace and Good Rocking,
Guy
