That was my grampa. It was also the site of some very popular jams in Santa Rosa in the 80's...remember, Jami? A.J.? Laura?
Tonight before Wanda's I am playing me and Loretta's new song at the North Bend Community Building for a foster-kids benefit...@ 6pm...Keep up the good work, folks.
Man, I am sleepy on fridays for some reason....I'm gonna take a nap. See you soon...

p.s. some new pics up...finally...

Hey Y'all....(wink)
I said SON, look at me when I'm a-talkin' to ya boy! That was a joke! *Foghorn Leghorn
Last weekend @ Wanda's was very interesting....Just ask Bill Jansen or Sam Clausen, they'll tell ya. The thing I liked about it was the music. If we had been at Snuffy's, Arthur would've tipped us at least a hundred or so. Hey, while I'm yakkin...How about some of you Texans from Snuffy's bless us with some utterances...we still love y'all!
I've been watching the Eric Clapton "Sessions For Robert J." DVD...ohhhh yeaaahhh!! Guess who's playin' slide for him? Doyle. Yep that little 17-year old shit with the blue spiked hair. Sounds really good, too. And, even tho' he's never played with Elkhorn, don't take that away from him, he's still young. Well, somewhere around 37 or 38 now I guess....I wonder if Stu were still alive...would take Doyle's guitar away from him and give it to me....hmmmm...have to think about that one some...
Anyway, Wanda's again this weekend for those local faithfuls...a little something different...come check it out...

Fred passed friday night around 9pm. Just about downbeat for me and the boys @ Wanda's. I made this entry special for you, Fred. Because you and your brother Dave ALWAYS supported me and my music, turned me on to Robert Johnson, Little Richard, and just about every single day, encouraged me to be the best I could possibly be. The world is reduced without your compassion for living. I promise I will keep playing music to the very best of my ability. Shit-fire! What am I saying...I'm gonna KICK ASS! There- that's what you wanted to hear isnt it. I love you.
"Bop-A-Loo"
P.S. hug Granny for me

Awright. Betcha thought I just been sittin' around in a nice warm taxi, feet by the heater, makin' money, yeah? My daily driving routine was put on hold for a bit - was it yesterday or monday...hmmm, anyway, Loretta Seigrist & me are working on a new song; a 25 second excerpt of which will be airing over 60 times on 94.9 KTEE and all the other Bicoastal Media stations starting the 13th of April, for the purpose of raising awareness and money for local foster children's well-being. We met at the offices of BiCoastal Media and laid it down in one take. Thanks for your support, Kathy, Joe, Travis, and all the good peeps up there. Looking forward to seeing more of you all. More details will be revealed as they come, but we are getting together a benefit in the coming weeks, and if I am thinkin' right, line it up with Oprah's BIG GIVE deal....stay tuned...
Now, I dont really wanna stop the show, but I thought you might like to know that the singer's gonna sing a song, and he wants you all to sing along. So, may I introduce to you: the act you've known for all these years: ELKHORN IS GETTING TOGETHER....and most likely BIGFOOT, too...May 10th @ Rogers Zoo! Dead center between my birthday and Garse's...the same time of year the infamous Rock Creek Parties happened...other birthdays during this cusp: Jim Flanagan, Mike Witbeck, Mike Sevens....oh man, who else? help me people...lets hear from you...you remember dont ya?
OK, Wanda's this weekend again with Bill Jansen, Roy Eikamp...(maybe Jeff Eikamp too); Dave Ford..YEAH! Are you ready to ROCK???
