Monday, August 29th, The Hacker's at Hurricane Patty's - Great night! When we play music it's fun!  Some of the other things that go on make it a little tough for me (the "goofing" around).  Chris said it himself when trying to listen to Dan's recording from the night.  He said "Man, I wish we would just play the song, too much goofing off".  I agree whole heartedly, and wish it could be different.  Although, I can put up with it and still enjoy it once a month.  Thanks everyone for coming out!  And thanks to the great staff at Hurricane Patty's!  See you next month.

Saturday & Sunday, September 3rd and 4th, The Big Lonesome Show @ Coles Point Tavern - There's not many places like the Northern Neck of Virginia around.  Over the years we've met so many special people, Scott and Carla being two of them.  Thanks for taking such good care of us.  I can't wait to get back.  I had a blast playing with everyone. Thanks Randy for the great cookout at the house on Saturday (Steaks, lobster tails, and all the fixins and especially the crabs for Theresa).  Sunday Jason and Joy put out a spread for us at their place twice in one day (Steaks, Chicken, Hotdogs and too many other things to mention, but the most important were the "bbq ribs" for you know who)!  Thanks Jason and Joy!  Thanks Randy Watts, it would not be possible without you.

Sunday, September 5th, The Big Lonesome Show @ AC's - I am wore out!  But to get together with this bunch one more time, I wouldn't miss it.  It was a nice day.  Lots of people, a lot of fun!  And the "S-P-R-E-A-D" that Chris put out for us after the show cannot go without mentioning.  It was unbelievable!  Thanks Chris and staff!  And once again, (even though he did not make it) Thanks Randy for everything!

Monday, September 6th, The ride home went good.  Jay "you da man".

Wednesday, August 24th, AM Eclipse - Worked on parts on a few tunes "Hopeless Romantic".  It's getting closer.  I think I will have The Big Lonesome do the background vocals, then hopefully I'll finally be able to finish this one up. and start on #3.
