BluesKeys Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I finally did it 4000 posts. I will never have as much to say as my friend The Grand Poo Pa of posts. But I hope I have many more post to share. I have had too many musical friends pass in the last year. The latest was the Trumpet/Trombome/Bari player on my latest release! He also played with me in Steve Owens And Summertime band. Alex was tragically killed in an auto accident last week on the way home from a Big Band Rehearsal. You never know when you wake up that it will be your last day!!! RIP Alex Almasy Quote Jimmy Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

BluesKeys Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 Thanks again guys for the kind words and offer to buy me beers, itgitci and Prof D. On a side note tonight will be the first gig (with this band) without our trumpet player. I am already feeling a little saddened and I have just gotten out of bed. (I rolled in at 3:30 this morning from last nights gig. If you follow me at all, I was filling in for the bandleader that had fired all but one player in his band and wanted to hire me full time). He wasn't drunk on stage the past to nights on stage, BUT he was drinking and was headed to several other bars after the show. I will help him out when I can and take his money! 7 show in 6 days... living the dream!!! Quote Jimmy Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

ITGITC Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Hey BluesKeys, just to clarify, you are at North Myrtle Beach, SC playing gigs at the Society of Stranders Spring Safari. Here's some information I found so folks here know what you're doing. And FYI to the guys living across the pond, here, "The Shag" is a particular dance that goes great with beer, sunshine, and Carolina Beach Music. To learn more, klonk this link: About SOS Spring Safari Thousands of shaggers from all over the east coast gather each year at the end of April for the Society of Stranders Spring Safari in North Myrtle Beach. Beach music lovers and shaggers from all over hit the road in search of the first outing of the season and their destination is the famous little strip of sand known as the Grand Strand. For 10 days from April 25-May 4, 2019 the biggest adult party on the East Coast crashes into North Myrtle Beach with a wide variety of activities including tea parties, shag dancing, live music, mingling with friends and a huge parade. As the sun goes down, all the local lounges light up with activity and spots like Ducks, Fat Harolds, Pirates Cove and the OD Lounge become the center of nightlife and fun. On the last Saturday of the event is the parade featuring ACSC member clubs who plan, design, & build parade floats for fun & a chance to win one of the coveted awards. ITGITC?

Mr. Nightime Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I need that jacket. We have a guy doing a video of us at the gig Friday, and we're supposed to dress like we're playing a wedding gig. That jacket would be perfect! Quote "In the beginning, Adam had the blues, 'cause he was lonesome. So God helped him and created woman. Now everybody's got the blues."

Tom Williams Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Hey kids, summer's comin'. If someone hosts an eastern seaboard hang this year,(1) I will indeed spring for at least one round of beer -- and I don't even drink the stuff. Notes: (1) I don't have the space; also, everyone else would get carsick driving to my home....
