Chicago update.

Their FitzGerald's show in March.
Did we mention Facebook again?
There's still one more show in February! Ralph and the RW band will be heading back up north to play a morning concert at the Cedar on Sunday February 28th in Minneapolis. We expect we'll have a special guest at the show- Adam Levy from Bunny Clogs! Many of you will know Adam from his great pop band, The Honeydogs. He'll be helping us out on a couple of our songs and we'll play a few of his.
A week later it 's not so long a drive back to Madison for another pair of shows at the High Noon Saloon. HNS has proven to be a great place for kids and adults to share the true rock'n'roll experience.
Tickets for Ralph's upcoming shows in March at Chicago's Old Town School of Folk Music are almost gone. There are still seats for the afternoon show but the morning show is now sold out.
Also, the morning show in April at the Community House in Hinsdale, Illinois is almost sold out but there are afternoon spots available. For the last several years all three shows have sold out in advance so don't tarry about procuring tix.

It's time for YouTube
Over the last few years so many of you have created some great videos for us and we've done a bunch ourselves that we hope you liked. You can still log into Ralph's official Disney Rhyming Circus page for the music shorts you've seen on Playhouse Disney, including several ones from "Welcome To Ralph's World."
But now we've developed a YouTube/Ralph's World Video Channel for some of the other items we've filmed plus made it easier to find the ones fans have created. Exclusive to this site is a short video of the Ralph's World band live at Chicago's House Of Blues playing "Fee Fi Fo Fum." So please enjoy, share, and subscribe.

Do clothes make the fan?
Your entire Ralph's World wardrobe needs can be filled at our online Waterdog Music store, including the RW BASEBALL CAPS you've seen at our shows. There's an adjustable cloth band with a buckle that will make it suitable for almost any proud parent. We have almost a dozen colors. The smaller children's sizes are not available yet online.
They'll be shipped in a cardboard box so the bill won't get bent. We also stock an assortment of
t-shirts, rompers, and sweatshirts for kids. 
The Waterdog store has ALL of Ralph's children's music on compact disc. It's also the only place we know to find the "Say Hello" DVD (Parenting Magazine's Video Of The Year for 2004).
We have both of Ralph's books in stock too- both of which come with exclusive extras.
If you order from us online your order is usually mailed by the next business day via 1st Class or Priority Mail.

The Bad Examples
FitzGerald's and New Mailing List
It was a great turnout and a great show for Ralph's original adult band, The Bad Examples, at Durty Nellie's last week. You can see a lot of photos from the show on the Bad Examples' Facebook page. We've just started having a separate TBE mailing list again. Yes, we'll announce all the shows here but we'll have more news and specials that we only offer to Bad Examples fans on that list. You can sign up by sending an email to badexamples@waterdogmusic.com. If you don't know The Bad Examples' music you can listen online at www.waterdogmusic.com. Just click the orange star logo and then check out the discography.
The next show for the group will be at FitzGerald's in Berwyn, Illinois, on Friday March 13th. It'll be an early show with Michael Heaton's band doing a late night set. Yes, we'll have some of the brand-new Bad Examples t-shirts at the show. They won't be online for a while still.
You can also look forward to the Abbey Pub on Friday, April 17th (as part of the International Pop Overthrow festival). It'll be a great evening with seven (7) bands playing, starting at 7:30, including Epicycle and The Handcuffs and the debut of Examples guitarist Steve Gerlach's newest project: Tomorrow The Moon. We'll be going on right at 10pm, following a short set from Steve's band at 9pm and the Penthouse Sweets at 9:30.
Oh Facebook! As we mentioned earlier, while Ralph Covert has had a Facebook page for a while (and thanks for all the postings) we've finally made a Bad Examples Facebook fan page. We've already posted a rare live track and eventually we'll get some video up there. Remember, Facebook is for the adults and a great way for them to share music and updates.
