So my compadre Norm got me this fantabulous guitar stand about a year and a half ago, it holds three guitars securely by grabbing the neck when you put the guitar on it. It's called a Hercules Stand. Well, one of the grabbing mechanism's went haywire on me and it wouldn't open all the way or close securely. So I tracked down the e-mail for the Hercules company and made some inquiries about getting a repair part. No I didn't have the reciept, it was a gift. No, I didn't know where it was purchased. So after a couple e-mails with the good folks at Hercules, they said "we're going to send you a RA #, ship the stand back to us and we'll send you a new one". So I did, and within a weeks time I had the new and improved supersonic triple guitar stand back in hand. I have always loved the way this stand works and I'm sure a few other folks have ordered stands based on seeing how awesome mine worked. So I'm glad to report that this company stands behind their products and has received my official seal of approval. If you'd like to see this amazing stand in action we'll be playing at the Florida Folk Festival Memorial day weekend inWhite Springs Florida.
Until next time, Keep on Plucking!

We now resume our previous posting.
We got up early enough on Sunday to meet our obligations at the radio station, or so we thought. We decided to go out for breakfast before we headed out for WFIT in Melbourne at one of the local breakfast spots. I guess we forgot it was Mother's Day, we couldn't get a seat for some time and the clock was ticking. So we decided to head home and I whipped up some eggs and bagels before hitting the road for the radio interview. We got to the station right on time and our host Fred Migliore was ready for action. Fred's Program FM Odyssey is syndicated and he has had the pleasure of interviewing tons of great musicians. Him and Kat hit it off pretty quickly and before I knew it they were telling some tall tails about me being a great guy considering the years I had spent in the Big House. Lies I tell you, all lies!
We headed home after the interview and before we knew it it was time once again to hit the road for the Shamrock Room to set up the sound system and get some grub before show time. Everything went well and we managed to get a good crowd for the show. The Shamrock Room is a little piece of musical paradise for the performing singer/songwriter. I'm looking forward to the next event to be held there, whatever it might be.
We made it home around 10:00, and were pretty well exhausted form the days activities. We shot the breeze for a while and hit the sack. A great weekend indeed, now back to the real world!
Until next time, here's your daily dose of wisdom:
Tell me what you need and I'll tell you how to get along without it.

Monday May 9
Another weekend slowly fades into the distance. We had the pleasure of hosting a concert for our Seattle compadre Kat Eggleston on Sunday night at a little place called The Shamrock Room in Cocoa Village, Fl. We have kind of made this a traditional stop over for Kat when she comes to Florida, she's a lot of fun to hang out with and a great performer. Kat and her accomplice Robby, arrived Saturday afternoon and the first thing we did was scrub the love bugs off the front of the car. If you don't know what a love bug is, then you've never spent the summer in Florida. I'm pretty sure this is why many folks leave the state before the summer fun begins and don't return until October.
So I prepared my extra special double secret formula lasagna for dinner, and it went over like Hershey Kisses at a weight watchers meeting. That means they liked it. We then gathered our energy and went down to the river for a stroll and to take in some local flavor. We stopped at Suzy's Tiki Bar, the flavor doesn't get any more local than that, and had a beer to celebrate Mother's Day Eve. The DJ was playing all sorts of horrible music and we suspected from his smooth mannerisms, he was most likely an unemployed construction worker trying to make some money in this awesome economy. By the time we had finished our beers and were headed out he was starting to slur a little bit. Fortunately, most of the folks there were to wrapped up in their corn hole games to notice. Yes, Suzy's has corn hole.
We arrived home after a short drive and Kat and I traded a few tunes before we called it a day. A good time was had by all.
