Hey everybody.
Just dropping a little note to let you know that I'm okay and that Baton Rouge didn't get much rain to speak of. Well, okay, that's not true... it rained like cats and dogs all weekend! And to make matters worse, the ceiling in the rear of the RV is all rotted out because of 3 years worth of water damage! It's always something! So I'm living in the front of the RV for now while David works to repair the ceiling before we go back out on the road again.
We're playing at the Treasure Chest casino in New Orleans tomorrow night and they have a house drum kit, so I don't have to bring anything! Ha! Maybe someday, ALL my gigs will be like that!
This weekend went fairly well. Friday night we played at O.B.'s in Lake Charles, LA. It's a nice little sports bar with a pretty decent size stage. The crowd was jumpin' by about 11, and it was SRO (standing room only) by 12. Saturday night we played at Bailey's in Marksville, LA. That was a VERY interesting gig. Bailey's is a nice old theater that was converted into a bar. Big stage, wood floors and paneling all over... only one problem -- they have a leaky roof and it rained ALL weekend!!! I've never played on a stage with buckets before... until now! We're lucky someone didn't get shocked!
Our new bassist, Mike Toller, came out Saturday and played two sets with us. We're going to start rehearsing with him next week... things should be pretty tight by the time we head out. I'll try to post again tomorrow... adios until then!

"The rain in Spain falls mainly in the plain",but in Louisiana it's EVERYWHERE! Sorry! Try to stay dry. Must have been interesting trying to keep the beat with the music along with the "plop, plop, plops" in the buckets!! Isn't life on the road fun? MOM
