December 2006
Has it really been 5 months since we wrote ??? Well, let's first of all wish all
our faithful friends, families, and friends a belated Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2007.
Our unofficial official roadie Gary continues to mend and promises to get back to work just before
his disability insurance lapses ... We'll be at Chute Gates in Terryville to ring in the new year; see the
"Schedule" page for more details ... We'll be at the Red Door in February, hopefully to record some
songs for a demo CD ... we could use a lot of noise !! We're also hitting a couple of new venues that
you can aslo see on the same page, as well as our old favorites.
August 2007
OK, enough of the crap from everyone who says I don't write the band news often enough. I have a
very full life with all my extracurrilcular activities and an employer who expects me to show up for work
every day ... July was a very interesting month for the band. We had 4 outdoors gigs: two were moved
inside because of rain, one was postponed due to rain, and another was absolutely gorgeous. The latter
was the car show that we played in Bristol in memory of Harvey Wilson. Harvey was a good friend of
the
band as well as a good friend to Bristol and Terryville. It was an honor to play in his memory and for
the benefit of his family. I can't help but think that Harvey was on stage with us that night in the
beautiful weather. 'Lil Heather is taking tests to become a member of the New Milford Police
Department ... I have several wise-ass commenst I could make about her height, but I'll put them asie
to wish her good luck. Check us out at the end of summer bash at Lone Oaks Campground in Canaan
on August 25 ... there might be some members in bikinis or Speedos !!
May 2008
It's been a busy year. Everyone is doing well. Old Dave has been so busy with

We've been having some rockin' times lately. Cafe 1650 was a good time with the midnite
