7.05.05 - Well, we played a show in my home town, Altus, Ok. A 4th of July celebration. JT Longoria was on drums, and Pat Teel was on bass. We had a grand time, although the jagoffs running the sound system were definitely the Spinal Tap of sound reinforcement.
7.21.05 - New shows up. Drummer Scott Miles will be playing both shows in Lawton, Ok at Jiggs. Friday night, Bob Avila will play the bass, and Saturday night, James Dickson will play the bass. Bob will also be playing bass with me in August and Danny's Tavern in Blair, Ok. His son, Bobby Avila will be playing drums.

Sonrs are: 1. House of Blue lights 2. Madison Blues 3. Ride on Josephine 4. Restless 5. Goodbye Baby 6. Let's Dance.
