After a few
sound check issues, a good time was had by
all. A lot of folks showed up who hadn't
seen us in a while and asked about next
year's shows. Lot's of heads bobbing to the
music. The bar staff expressed enthusiasm at
the end of the night, one of them describing
our 'people' as 'normal humans.'

Excellent
sound from Bob.
Beer bottles were rattling off of tables.
A vcr rattled off of the wall and was left
hanging over a wall mounted tv.
Bob says he once literally brought the ceiling
down.
Clint gave me a CD of his country band Texas
Toast. Good playing.

flypaper
at it again:) Dave Mays' son wasn't able to
do this year's reunion. Anthony Agelopolous
joined us instead as the new 'the guitar
player from flypaper.' Bob from Gatusso's
music did great with sound & light. The top
hat and cane for 'Ladies and Gentlemen' was
fun. Lot's of kudos. Decent crowd, but not
like last year. All word of mouth.
Junkman and RadioStar started the night out.
Music is about shared experiences,
introspection, expression of attitudes
and ideas, more than something that captures
it like a painting, much less a box of
cereal. Still, how can you deny the
feeling of popping in one of your favorite
CDs and turning it up to eleven.
Thanksgiving was a mixed bag of highs and
lows.
This year thanksgiving included a
bittersweet big warm hug from lots of old
friends and acquaintances.
Bittersweet, because it came hand in hand
with the loss of a friend. My friend and old
band mate was battling cancer, and wasn't
really telling anyone about it. Too 'busy'
to deal with friends, until we realized what
was happening.
A lot of people came to the benefit show we
did on Thanksgiving eve. Many I haven't seen
in some time. Dave's oldest son played his
guitar parts, and stepped up to the task. I
enjoyed the rehearsals as much as the show
itself. It really felt weird the night of
the show to play a gig under the
circumstances, but by the time we were going
on stage I was cool, and revved up.
Folks had a great time, and 'little'
Dave and the guys want to play more.
I changed the
flypaper
web site to feature some of my favorite pics
of Dave playing. In one sense of reality he
will be missed. In another, he is with us,
and with reflection and meditation we can
learn from the totality of our shared
experience.
