Hey there folks. So it looks like I have not put up anything in months. Folks are getting worried. Im doing well…..been playing a LOT and working a lot, and I got caught up in the incredible timewaster that is Myspace.

Probibly the neatest things that have happened since the last month was an article in the Observer touting the Sues as a must see. YES!!!!! Susan has started writing a few months ago and has already submitted some good reading.

I think I had about 10 gigs in the past 3 weeks. Last Friday I did 3 Gigs in one day. Yep, raked in 10’s of dollars. Started out with the Taste of Dallas with Craig Boyd. Followed by Boys Named Sue at Allgood then Trainwreck at Adairs. Plus I did the sound equipment.

The Weekend before that I played with Craig in Forney for the Fourth of July. Craig Said that it was put on by KSCS or the Twister….but I think those guys were busy so it was hosted by the third sister station….Radio Disney.

We preceeded an act that the calendar billed as “Radio Disney Performing Artist”. This turned out to be Nikki Cleary (I was hoping for Hillary Duff)

She seemed to be popular with the 4 yo to 13 yo set. There were 50 or 60 little girls between the ages of 6 to 16 that just couldn’t wait for us to get off the stage. (Sigh)

Then I raced to Dallas for the fireworks. Seems that you can light fireworks from the service road at the county border. It was a battle zone. Imagine 300 people lighting fireworks on the side of a major interstate….both sides. Do the math….half that crap will land on the freeway….and Im pretty sure some folks were aiming for cars because I got hit by a bottle rocket. Rather than deal with that, I had to catch the show at Lakewood. Snakebite was working the show and there were cute girls at Lakewood theater with a seat open for me.

Slick is on Tour for the next few weeks…so I get some time off.
