In case you're wondering, that's me pretending (pretty poorly) to play the tea-chest bass. I prefer four strings. We have another clip we did for Steve's nephew's school project also, but it's not up on Youtube yet. More fun. Gotta have fun. No-one ever pays us.

Sure thing! Thumbs Up

such a fun tune! I've got a gig tonight at Lou's Café about 5mi. away. We've been playing there for years.. and will play there again on Thanksgiving Eve. Also their Christmas Party in December.

Tonight.. people will be dressed-up for Halloween! Lynne is going as "Batgirl". I'll post a pic here in a little while. We'll be leaving for Lou's by 7pm.

Here's a little toe-tappin' music in the meanwhile..

Dang, I just spent ages writing a reply & it's gone. Rusty's post must have run it over and it scurried off into the cyber-bushes to die.

Anyway, I pretty much said thanks for rememberin' and there's another video on the way. As soon as it's uploaded onto youtube I'll post it.
More later.

Roddie, Wow, you guys certainly have picked an appropriate name for the band. still burning really Rocks!
Lynne would have won the "best costume" at the party we went to last night. Lots of zombies and witches but nothing as good as her Bat girl! Clapping

Oh that? That's a turbo-fan. The air-intake is a large V-shaped tunnel-ram.. just above the "bat" symbol. Shocked

Someone asked at the gig last night; what accessories she had in the belt. I replied with; "a capsule of Viagra".. tongue

BTW Rus.. It is red-eye.. not contact-lenses.

Thanks Doug! Thumbs Up

Opening for Marshall Tucker was a trip! We played our set.. and after the last song the crowd was shouting "LET THEM PLAY"!! A huge ego-boost for us all.

A few pics from that gig at "Indian Ranch" campground in Webster, MA on 8-11-13

My younger brother Jeff bought me that Harley Davidson shirt to wear for the gig. He's been a good brother to me.
