A word of advice for the aging, don't plan a huge weekend party in which you're playing in 5 of the 8 bands.  It prematurely ages you!

Bonus:  all attendees will receive one of the new 4321 All Star T's!  

This is next week!  <gulp> There's lots of rehearsals underway.  Any out-of-town guests coming?

Bump...  We're getting closer every day....

That's new BOC to me.  I cut my teeth on the first 3 albums, and when this song came out, I was all like, WTF, dude?  That was around the time when many of my favorite bands got ruined by success, or writing songs that had mass appeal:  Journey, REO and Styx, to name a few. Of course, I like...

Glad to hear you're recovering well!  This happened recently to a drummer friend of mine.  As a result of a conversation we had during a practice in my basement, he requested a blood calcium test from his doctor, and within a few weeks he had undergone a quadruple bypass.  That was in early...

I'm so sorry to hear this news.  Rest in Peace, friend.

RIP.  I used to play Chicago songs on baritone horn in pep band in High School.  Soundtrack of my youth.  

I'm so glad I got to meet you guys in Seattle in what, the summer of 2010?  Thanks for posting the goofball pic of us, Peso; I immediately was going to look for that one.  RIP, Johnny.  I already miss your recommendations on stereo equipment.  The receiver I'm using right now was one of your...

There's a guy in Tomah, Wisconsin, Barry Clark, who claims to be the biggest Hofner dealer in the USA.  I bought a cheapo Club from a guy in my neighborhood about 6 years ago.  I liked it well enough for what it was, but ended up selling it to my brother's neighbor, a 13 year old boy.  The...
