...to our emerging power trio. Terry Stanley is the new drummer. And yes he's NOT bringing an opera singer wife...The guy knew our tunes by osmosis. Some people know without knowing, freaky amazing. The next few months should be FUN. We're psyched!

Sounds like you guys clicked. That's when it works the best. Congrats. Hope it all works out for you.

A 17 year old, a 53 year old (me) and a 58 year old (drummer). I guarantee there's nobody his age (17) who can keep up with him. Five years from now there may be a handful of people anywhere on planet Earth who can keep up with him...

I was recently contacted by an excited 18 yr old who wants to play drums with us (37 and 48 yrs old). I know how you feel.

Ya gotta love an inter-generational band!

Wishing you the very best, bob!

More good news from KC.

Bob, I remember a pretty long while back you saying that you were "gonna have your CD one day". Well, looks like that confession is coming to life. Good on ya!

Alexander has unlimited potential. If I can be a small part of his growth I'd be honored. Darrin Wells has overcome a lot this last few years. I think he's a good-hearted guy who writes from his heart. I'm hoping some big country artist buys one or more of his songs. Again, if I can help out that's all anyone can ask. I specialize in creating bass-lines for original material. That's what I'm known for really. And that includes my own tunes (Tell Me About the Blues on my profile player is mine). I may end up being on two CD's in 2011. That would be cool and about time. Gotta get everything in before Dec 21, 2012, isn't that when the Mayan calendar ends? (Fu*k the Mayans!)

I'm not a believer of the Mayan calendar...and I wouldn't be too happy if I was. These movies that have come out about that have people thinking that next year will be the year. Goes to show you how much power the media really has over some people.

2 Cds? That's awesome! That could land you a good job as a session musician, that is, if you wanted to be.

^^ Agreed
My current band has a singer who just turned 21yrs old. and the oldest, the bass player who is 40+. Everyone gets along great and contributes ideas from a broad spectrum of musical tastes. Age doesn't matter to me when it comes to music.

Best I could tell, Mayans don't play guitar

I think the Mayans played some pretty horrible games, many involving human sacrifices. Maybe one of the reasons they disappeared.

Decapitated head basketball?

Congratulations on the drummer!
