PJ's in Kirkwood

In Kirkwood, there is a nice small-town feel, where people live near to the things they like to do. Restaurants, markets, shops are almost all only a short walk away. It's nice to play at PJ's, the folks are friendly, there is a decent "walk-in" crowd, and it's a little different from the typical drunken bar scene.

It was disheartening to hear last week that as April 1, 2008, they will no longer have live music. They have a very nice kitchen, and feel that they can more money per sq ft with a white-tablecloth restaurant. Probably they are right.

We are there once more before the change - on Feb 23rd.

Celebration at Tuner's

Lots of fun and friends at Tuner's.

Songwriter extraordinaire and Prime Sphincter John Garbo was there...and there was a birthday party for one of the Goulds. I won't say which one, out of respect for Mary's privacy.

Do you have one of the new Serapis stickers for your car yet?

Come On, 2008!

Generally we take a little time off in the winter. We try to do a little recording, and gear up for the coming year. But some late gigs have made the winter calendar pretty crowded.

This year we got a late booking for an early January company Christmas party at The Tap Room- for Stone Technologies, playing for some interface-code-writing computer geeks - and their hot-babe girlfriends. A great bunch of folks, we had a blast.

Find a way to see "Before the Music Dies" - an "extraordinary documentary and cautionary overview about the state of the music business in America."

You know the world is now completely digital when you Google the word "Amazon", and the first page has no references to the largest river in the world!

More to say...too tired to make the words appear.
