Well, after a year off and one reunion show with my last band of 7 years, I was contacted yesterday by a national touring act that needs a bass player for some shows at Sturgis and a tour of Canada, and possibly Norway of all places. I decided what the heck. I’ll pull my gear out (if I can find...

Been a long while since I posted, been 9 months since I picked up a bass. Lol. But, I actually have a show tonight! Old band is getting back together to play the Crawford County Fair in Mulberry, AR. Should be fun, well if I can remember how to play..... everybody have a great weekend!

Last nights gig was fun. Wishbones on Garrison Avenue with our buddies Croosroads. Great bunch of young men.

1988 premo JBL. That made me laugh!

Well I'm home and the Peach Festival is a wrap. Had a great time and large attendance. Now to bed I go!

Saturday night I will be playing at the Peach Festival in Clarksville, AR. Their band backed out at the last minute, so we got asked by the radio station to play it. In an ironic twist, I can't stand peaches! lol!! Y'all have great gigs and be safe!!!

Wow. Packed house tonight. Was sticky humid, and hot but still a lot of fun! Said goodbye to a close buddy who retired from the band tonight. We are now officially a 4 piece and we are embarking on our grand originals adventure!

Awesome gigs!!! I had a gig this weekend but not a musical one. I haven't got to see my son since he was stationed in Kansas. So I drove up to see him and his new wife this weekend and take him out to dinner. He got promoted to Pvt 1st class early!!! So proud of my kids! They are awesome! Y'all...

dbase, I use an Ampeg DI and a tuner pedal.

From Saturday night. Played in shorts for the first time in years, got fed amazing catfish, got paid a bunch of money, made $1000 in tips, and drank a bottle of American honey. Was in bed by 12. Sunburned, well fed, and a bit tipsy. Was a really good gig!

I thought of the exact same song when I read the title. My band has covered that for years. It's one of my favorites!

Well, just got done watching a set at the Ranch. Highlights for me were "All jacked up", an older Wade Hayes song who's name escapes me, and watching Cliff absolutely kill on some Bruno Mars! Fabulous!!!!!

Well, I just can't seem to retire. Lol! Band leader, who is also my best friend, talked me into staying for awhile. I told him no shows more than 2 hours, no more casinos or bar gigs, and I only wanted to play and promote OUR music. We released a new cd a few weeks ago. He agreed, as did the...

It was an awesome time!!!

My gig for the night. I'm excited and a bit nervous. Woohoo!!!
