Yup, MF still has an open box of both black and red.
Just got to hope that it stays there long enough...
Hey RR, I just got a text from the eighties and they told me you’re not authorized to use their mottos. Shame, it was killer!
Tomorrow I will announce the five finalists of which you may vote for one. The spoils will go to the winner, but who will it be? This will be an exciting weekend!
For me, anyway-gig Sat'day night. First since 3/14. No idea whether the place will be full, 1/2 full, or MT. Que sera sera.*Hey RR, I just got a text from the eighties and they told me you’re not authorized to use their mottos. Shame, it was killer!

Awesome, Rod! Here’s wishing you and the ladies a great show. Are ya gonna be playing your folk stuff or what? I’m so excited for ya. Say, do ya remember how to play with other humans? Well, no time like now to find out. We expect details, okay?
Uhhh, that's me with the gig.
Uhhh, that's me with the gig.
Sorry GP! In all the excitement I didn’t pay attention. I had just gotten a notice that Rod had written, but you are correct, it is you.
So same questions, is this with your regular group? More importantly, which combo will you be bringing? I’m predicting the 40c. How close am I? Are ya nervous?
1) No BFD. (2) 3 regulars, 1 sub-we all know the same [stuff]. (C) The room's big enuff to need the R100. (IV) Nah. I'm too old to give a ratz@$$.
Ice in the veins, ladies and gentlemen. The rest of us should be so lucky. Knock ‘em dead (not really, it’s Florida) on Saturday night. Hey, can I request Happy Birthday? It’ll be when old finally catches up to my grumpy and fart. We’ll still take a short summary of the show if you’re inclined to do so.
A) Happy Birthday in absentia.(2) Hopefully no deaths but "Ya never Know"(III) I just spent 20 minutes(+/-)typing a list of songs we might do over in THUNDERBIRD CLUB. Suffice to say, it'll be a lot of 60's-70's rock and C&W songs for our 55+y/o audience. We don't use a set list per se, we 'feel' the crowd(WHAT!?)and guess what they wanna hear. I always tell them "Everything we play, you've heard before...Today.....On yer way here." We always start with an instrumental or 2 to eeease them into the fact that it's live music, not a freakin' BOSE waveradio. Unfortunately, because we hafta use a sub guitarist(the better of our 2 regular guitar men has respiratory issues), our repertoire is slightly limited.
Edit to add: Both guitarists and I alternate singing lead vocals with harmonies prn*. Drummer sings some harmony.
*pro re nata=as needed

I'm sure you'll be fine even with the sub-guit player. BOSE Wave radio...lol! And please, with all the feeling of the audience every good band must do at the beginning of the gig, please use the Cornonavirus Task Force's guidelines (it's on a card) keeping a safe distance from party-goers and NOT double-dipping from the bowl of guacamole! Stay safe my friend and rock the place with bass. Bring it on, Rumble 100!

I made these up. They'll be prominently displayed at the front of the bandstand.

How about adding, “Get off my #%^* lawn!” I think it would slay.
I should be there to support GP, at least for a while, and hopefully get some video to post here!

Someone has said the magic word, Rumble! And, in honor of the Rumble combo to be used this Saturday in one of the first live gigs of the reopening, I have been authorized by The Rumble Club Trivia! department to announce the award of one shmillion shmackeroons to the winner of the aforementioned Combo Club Motto Contest.

Without further ado, on behalf of The Rumble Club Trivia! department, I'd like to wish all the Combo Club Motto Contestants the very best of luck! So, get your entries in soon! Hey, who couldn't use an extra shmillion shmackeroons, huh?

Very nice, ‘Dog, except for the micro-pink disclaimer (thoughtful though). My eyes are gonna be sixty tomorrow too, ya know.
So listen to The Dog, ya’ll, because today is your day to vote for our club’s motto. I’ll be posting the five nominees today at quitting time, whenever that it in a Pandemic.
Just be browsing these here pages in the afternoon and let the voting begin. I’ll tally the votes tomorrow, because it’s a national holiday at my Mom’s house, and reveal the winner. Remember, it’s worth one a shmillion macaroons to the winner, and they’e sponsored by Keebler. Oh wait, it’s shmackeroons. Yikes, cancel the cookies...now!
Remember to vote!
Did anyone remind me that I missed like an entire day this week? Sheesh. GP, it's widely known that people who typically serve gruel from Siberia are often without humor.
FBQC, welcome to the Combo Club, and please accept my humble apologies for not saying so a few days ago. Usually, I'm right on top of things, but this has been a busy week. I would like to offer to you since you have already met our primary request for a combo picture, a membership number for you. If I remember correctly, it's #199 too; the final number in the one-hundreds. Please let me know and it's yours.
Also, as with Morrighan and others, I'd love a short (or long) review on your Peavey amp. You may be the first who ones one that we know of and we're all curious to know how it sounds. Get back to me and I'll sign ya up. Thanks for stopping by!
Liko, thanks so much for sharing your group pic. Wow, people playing music...together! That's what's nice about the Markbass brand; they create a lot of flexibility within their product base. Glad you're enjoying it and thinking about your clubmates. That looks like a pretty cool group and I have a feeling that Abby can rock!
