We have been pretty fortunate this year with our winery gigs. We played there about five times, and though the first was snowed (actually iced) out, we have since avoided inclement weather. On one occasion it started to sprinkle just as we were breaking down, and just in time for Butch Wax and The Hollywoods to get all wet. Sorry, Gene. Go hear them - they are a lot of fun, and Gene Ackmann has a lot of cool stories for a Warrenton dude.
Today's weather was fabulous, sunny, cool, very autumn-like. Soon the leaves will be turning - making the area even moure beautiful. Thanks to the folks at Mount Pleasant for having us this year.
Benet Schaeffer of Gumbohead books the bands for Mount Pleasant Winery. Gumbohead is another band that should be on your "must see" list, If you have one. If you don't have one, put it on your "need to create" list.
Among the friends we saw was Bob Baker, author/publisher. Bob is the music market/promotion guru at www.thebuzzfactor.com. I first met Bob while we were videotaping a show at the Sheldon. Also on the bill was local fav Fairchild. Comedian Royce Kelly opened the show. It was our first (and perhaps only) show using the name "Lazy Boy & the Rockin' Recliners". Television personality John Pertzborn played the part of Lazy Boy.
Next Friday is the Colin Sphincter Band at The Focal Point, in Maplewood, hope to see you there.
