It has been a wonderful year for RosCo And The Heads with some tremendous highs and some horrendous lows. Highlights included our Liberty Theatre Shows, The Thunder In The Valley Fourth of July Spectacular, where we played before ten thousand people, The Mena, Arkansas Tornado Benefit, Jam Nights at The now defunct Puma's Bar, Magic Wheels In Wilburton, OK, and a whole lot of bar gigs. Lows include the seemingly diminishing popularity of our classic rock music which has been evidenced by a lack of crowd support, but to be truthful, this economy has forced many of our faithful fans to stay at home. The closing of Puma's Bar hurt many local musicians and it was a shame that unforeseen circumstances and sheer bad luck became the downfall of the music establishment. The Puma family has also taken a horrible blow with the loss of beloved mother and cherished club owner, Elzie Puma. Her loss from cancer has been felt across the area and she will be missed so very much. Because of Ma Puma, RosCo And The Heads were able to thrive and have a place to practice and a place to jam. And local musicians had a place to get together and try out musical ideas. She supported local music and gave encouragement to musicians young and not so young. Thank you, Ma Puma. We miss you so, but your positive influence will carry us on.
   Another low was the fact that no new music was released from The Heads except for two new demos, 'Shelter From The Storm' and 'No Goodbyes.' Hopefully 2010 will see some studio time and possibly a summer CD release. Local gigs have disappeared and Ken and Steven have joined a country band to make enough to pay bills and put food on their family tables. Music is our passion but it does cost money and families must be fed and they have to do these things to honor their responsibilities. We wish there were a way to make RosCo And The Heads profitable but this has never happened and it may never come to pass. But this dreamer is not done and will continue to Rock On, writing and recording songs, booking gigs, being goofy, and being a Love Buzzard to drunken women. And a special thanks to Jerry Gray for inviting me into his Jam Studio and letting me play guitar with him for an hour or two. Not to mention Paul Gavigan and T for their friendship and musical talk shop and Joseph Alexander for teaching me the Phrygian Scale. And DJ John Peters keeps us all alive here in SE Oklahoma by spinning our records on his radio show. My cousins Dave and David continue to put up with my bad jokes and my Mom and brother Rex are always supporting me, I am nothing without my faith, family, and friends. Please come and see RosCo And The Heads on their final show of 2009 and their first show of 2010 at The Eagles Club in Mena, Arkansas Dec. 31st starting at 9pm! Happy Holidays to all and keep sending them good ol' positive vibes and ROCK ON WITH ROSCO!

Let everyone know that Puma's has had to shut down for a while so Jam Night is suspended. I'll try and let everyone know when things are up and running again. In other news, catch RosCo And The Heads at ShovelHeads Sept. 19 in McAlester and bring the kids to our All Ages Low Dough Show Nov. 7 at The Liberty Theatre in Hartshorne with Special Guests Lonnie Lay and Juniper Point. Rock On!

All The Best,
RosCo

RosCo And The Heads, the band voted most likely to bankrupt IHOP on All You Can Eat Night, are packing their gear for the city of Wilburton, Oklahoma, this Saturday Night Aug. 15, 2009 for the Annual Bikes And Bands On Main Street at the Goldberg & Joseph Park! The Festivities kick off at 8pm with Rudy And Sundown, then the Heads will waddle to the stage, and then the night will close with Oversoul! Steven Ford, Bass Man and scrunchies enthusiast reports, 'I hope they don't try to shoot RosCo again!' Kenny Puma, drummer and coffee drinker also expressed his concern, 'I hope they don't miss and shoot me!' And RosCo, lead nose picker and wearer of Blue Bunny underwear exclaimed, 'Hey, whomever sent me the cool T-Shirt with the bulls-eye, THANKS!' There will be a parade and bikers and all kinds of good family fun, so come out and support local music! RosCo got to sit in with old friends Sonny Reece, Vick Voss, and Floyd Speir last Friday Night at the Texanna Lounge in Checotah for a night of music, dancing, brawling, and drinking! The bartender cut RosCo off after four Diet Cokes because 'he had to drive' but  good times were the order of the night and fun is still the very best therapy of all! The Heads still host Jam Night at Puma's Coffee Bar at 908 Penn in Hartshorne, OK every Sunday Night 5 to 9pm, so dust off your banjo or harp and come on down! And more shows are on the way including a triple bill November 7 at The Liberty Theatre in Hartshorne, OK with Special Guests Lonnie Lay and Juniper Point! So keep sending those chicklets, olive oil bottles, baseball jerseys, marriage proposals, gardening tips, and ROCK ON WITH ROSCO!

Jam Night was another rousing success with Joseph Alexander, The Two Jerry's, Travis, Kenny, RosCo, Marlene, and Special Guest Junior Brown getting down and having a great time! Actually, Junior Brown and his lovely wife stopped in for only a brief moment, as they were guests of Marlene and were simply giving her a ride to her favorite Jam Place on Sunday Night, Puma's Coffee Bar! But hopefully the famous musician will stay a little longer and arm wrestle Ken Puma for ice cubes, next time! And the week just keeps getting wilder as Zero Radius and Ice Cream Boy hit the Acoustic Trail Wednesday Evening at 8PM with a special weed whacking contest and sing along! And Saturday Night, August 8th will witness RosCo And The Heads with Special Guest Lonnie Lay Rocking Puma's Bar starting at 7pm! Next Sunday is Jam Night all over again, 5pm until 9pm so mark your calendars, bring your coupons, remember to throw pastries at the band, SUPPORT LOCAL MUSICIANS, send RosCo nudity (ladies only PLEASE) and ROCK ON WITH ROSCO!

Yes you heard it right folks, Kenny Puma, shoe shine salesman and drummer for your favorite rock and or roll band RosCo And The Heads, is having a birthday! Kenny recently sat down on this reporter and reminisced about his childhood and how he came over on The Boat from Italy, accidentally tinkled on the Statue of Liberty, (they have a restroom in Venice that looks EXACTLY the same!) hitched a ride to Detroit on a pogo stick (there were four of us and none of us spoke Armenian) and his failed attempt at becoming a Detroit Tiger (The jock straps were too small). And of course there is the story of how he found Oklahoma (I made a wrong turn at Albuquerque) and joined RosCo and The Heads (I was told there was pizza) and on to fame and fortune! In his honor, Steven Ford, bassist and BBQ enthusiast for The Heads has decided to throw a Birthday Bash for him at Puma's Coffee Bar (formerly Puma's Bar) at 908 Penn in beautiful downtown Hartshorne, OK Saturday, July 25, 2009 starting at 7pm! And, since Kenny's lovely sister Sara Jo has a birthday as well in July, RosCo, demented ice cream enthusiast and guitar picker, decided to throw a party for her, as well! So bring Kenny and Sara Jo presents to the Birthday Bash which will include our old friend Lonnie Lay chipping in on the festivities and let us Rock And Or Roll Saturday Night!

Cemetery Road Studio, home of drummer Ken Puma and practice pad and demo hall for RosCo And The Heads, was broken into and vandalized last week. The thieves got off with a mixing board, powered monitors, a custom computer, and many other articles. The incident leaves the band without equipment to complete their next album release so we are asking anyone with any information to call the Hartshorne Police Department at (918) 297-2544.

The Good Ol' USA is having another Birthday and RosCo And The Heads have another excuse to eat too much and play music, so they just can't WAIT to celebrate! The festivities begin Wednesday Night July 1 at Puma's Bar in Hartshorne, OK with the return of the Zero Radius and Ice Cream Boy Acoustic Show and Feather Duster Contest! Zero Radius, the more handsome of the duo questions, "Is that song in F flat or E?" Ice Cream Boy, the least handsome of the duo remarks, "Those clouds look like boobies!" What a pair! The lads start at 8 and play until 10 so get there early so you can tip them and tell them how good they sound! Thursday July 2 will find The Heads traveling down to Talihina to help the Choctaw Tribe celebrate the tenth anniversary of their new hospital! Iron Road opens the show at 5pm, The Heads take the stage at 6:30 or 7, and a big fireworks show will start at dusk, so come on and help The Choctaws celebrate at the Health Care Center! And finally, Saturday will find the Mighty Trio Rockin at Puma's Bar in Hartshorne starting at 7pm and don't forget Jam Night at 5pm every Sunday! RosCo And The Heads and Lonnie Lay wish each and every one of you a safe and Happy Independence Day, and to our friends all around the world, keep sending them sparklers, candy bars, pecan sandies, figs, olives, and ROCK ON WITH ROSCO!

The weekend ahead promises to be full of most good fun as RosCo And The Heads, the band voted most likely to cry during nipple piercing, prepares to party with the gang at ShovelHead Bar in McAlester Friday night starting at 9pm and partying with the Re and Regina at The Italian Festival, also being held in McAlester, Saturday starting at 6pm and finishing the weekend Sunday evening with Jam Night at Puma's Bar in Hartshorne, starting at 5pm! These incredible musical athletes have been in training for this super human feat of Party Madness for at least ten or twelve seconds and each of the lads had this to say; Ken Puma, noted Italian and Drum Masseuse has declared, 'The spaghetti is MINE!' Steven Ford, resident jig dancer and bass string enthusiasts exclaims, 'Three nights in a row? Thank God for ketchup!' RosCo, in charge of licking the cookie bowl and geetar picker also mused, 'I think that cloud looks like boobies.' As usual, this trio is well rested and focused! In other news, many comments have been made about the two 'new' songs on the MySpace web site and although the positive feedback is appreciated, it must be pointed out that these songs were actually from the 2006 CD release 'Rectifier' and thus are not new at all. But Rock On anyway, new music is on the way! May 23 will find The Heads in Mena, Arkansas to take part in the Mena Tornado Disaster Relief Concert sponsered by the Fraternal Order of The Eagles so come out and support a great cause that will feature great bands and a lot of fun. In the mean time, keep sending them lacy bras, stockings, cinnamon buns, rubber bands, tea leaves, pinto beans, cough drops, and ROCK ON WITH ROSCO!
