Hello Everyone:

Well it's been a crazy two months working to keep my gigs going by finding players to cover them! At one point I had 24 hours in which to cancel gigs if I didn't find a lead guitar player. Luckily we had James Howard step up to the plate. James will be covering several of our upcoming gigs until our new regular lead player, Manuel Morais can step in in June. James played the lead guitar parts on all the tracks on our late October 09 release "Low Down Where The Snakes Crawl."


As well, we've got Chris Leighton and Ronnie Smith, both of whom many of you most likely know, coming in to fill the drum positions until we can find a permanent player for that position.

So you can just well imagine, the rehearsals and audition sessions have been something of a strange calendar arranging ride!

But at any rate... beyond all this update babbling... :), we have two shows in Washington this month and we hope you all at one or both.

WED - MAY 20TH - THE CENTRAL IN KIRKLAND 9 - 1 AM
(Come on you can call in sick on Thursday!).. umm humm.. yah right! NOT in this economy!

FRI - MAY 29TH - THE CROSSROADS 9 - 12 PM -
Walla Walla Blues Society's Monthly Bash - and their last of the season; AND a special benefit to Dan Greenwood, a dear friend, and long-time WWBS member, who unexpectedly passed on April 14th.

So we hope to see you and if not... well we've got some other good shows upcoming in June here in our beautiful state.. so stay tuned!

Hope everyone is well and hanging on in these tough times...
