Hi everyone,

Last night we rocked the house at Izzy's Place in Theresa, WI.  The crowd was fantastic and everyone had a great time!

Saturday December 13, 2008 from 9pm-1am we play at the Boathouse in the Town of Summit on Lake Nemahbin (Waukesha County).  If you would like us to add to our song list, please let us know what your suggestions are!! Thanks everyone!!!!

Well, haven't made any posts in a while so thought I would catch everyone up to speed.  After the rather unceramonious exodus of our lead singer Tom Leitz and guitar player Rob Ransom, (a whole 6 days before a gig) we had a couple of fill in muscians take their spots.  Bill Harrison is an excellent guitar player from Cold Hard Cash, who also runs Omniatrax recording studio, sat in with us on our last gig and will be with us again at Reunion Station in Neenah tomorrw night.  Bill is an excellent blues musician and has filled in for us in the past.  We also had the pleasure of having Vinney D Valentine come back and make a guest appearance for 3 shows as a fill in lead singer.  Vinney was lead singer for us over a year ago, but do to scheduling conflicts, decided he couldn't keep up with all of the practices and gigs. Vinney also has a band called Vinney D Valentine and the Royal Flush Players.  Vinney still tears it up big time and makes a mic sound nice.  We are greatful to have both Vinney and Bill sit in with us while we lock down a couple of other full time musicians. We will miss Tom and Rob and wish them both the best, and hope they still feel free to stop on out at a gig and belt out a tune or two with us.  We had a surprise musical guest stop on out at Kims Place last Friday.  Pat Hibbard of 3rd and Short (Larry McCarran's TV Show Band) and Let Me Be Frank Productions stopped out and sang Born to be wild with us. If you have every seen Pat perform at the SC Grand or the Meyer Theater in Green Bay, then you know what a talented musician he is.  His commercials are pretty cool too!

Anyways that's whats up, hope to see you at our next gig, which is in less than 15 hours from now at Reunion Station in Neenah.  See you there!

Saturday night felt like a reunion gig for us, since a couple of Live at Nine alumni surprised us with a visit and helped us the Rock the night away. Lead singer Tom Leitz invited old live at nine lead singers Gary DeGreef of Mercury Rising and Vinny D. of Vinny D. and the Royal Flush Band to join in on our version of Mustang Sally which drove the crowd into a frenzy. It was great seeing and hearing these three powerful vocal talents on stage at the same time.  Tina took some photos of the three of them on stage so anxious to share those photos once she sends them to us.

Later in the evening Tom Leitz graciously relinquised the microphone and invited Gary and Vinny to finish out the evening with the last two songs. Vinny sang Tush by ZZ Top and Gary sang Jenny Jenny by Tommy TuTone. Both real crowd pleasers as the dance floor remained packed.

If you missed the show, you missed a lot!!! Just ask Judy's cube mates from United Health. We want to thank our freinds and relatives (and little brothers) for stopping out and partying with us.  Hope to see you all at the next show.

P.S. Bret, get a new wing man!

Well, Jacks Sports Bar at Thornberry Creek got rocked hard on Saturday night. Just ask the chef Nicole.  The band sets up at the end of the longest bar I've ever seen anywhere in Green Bay next to the kitchen and Master Chef Nicole was jamming along with us all night long never missing a beat or lyric to any of the songs we played.  And she didn't look old enough to know some of those lyrics!  Thanks to the gals from United Health for stopping out and partying with us and staying till the very end. Judy sure knows how to draw them in.

Thanks again to Jack for letting us rock it out at Jacks Sports Bar!  We hope to be back soon!

Catch you all at the next Gig!  Be sure to stop on out for a swoller & a holler!

Live at Nine.
