"ARE YOU READY!!"

Kathy1929 - 3-18-2007 at 01:33 AM

I most definitely will be ready to party that night!! Rock On!!

JR - 3-20-2007 at 02:38 PM

I'm bummed that I won't be there. Professional obligations. However, maybe next time I'll HAVE to be there. We'll see......

Blow down the walls, boss.

Kathy1929 - 3-21-2007 at 03:14 AM

I'm sure Ronnie and his new band will blow down the walls just fine as he always does whenever he comes to town!! Counting down the days until the 31st!!

BIG_GEORGE - 3-21-2007 at 04:00 AM

We'll miss your presence Brother Jay!

Maybe next time!

RK - 3-21-2007 at 08:31 PM

I'll miss you too JR. Hell yes, next time.

Circling the drain now...starting tomorrow we have 3 Keel/Shortino acoustic dates in Vegas, then Sunday to get packed for the road trip - Sam & I arrive Monday night, and we're looking forward to a few hard n heavy days of rehearsing. All of the shows will be crammed full of my favorite tunes (and hopefully yours too) but of course we're going the extra mile at Big George's, throwing in some extra IH and a few surprises. I spoke to Jimmy Hahn from Lonewolf Sound this morning - George, you may want to bring in some extra structural support for your building....

& PLAIN CITY IS READY!

ARE YOU READY?

RK - 3-29-2007 at 03:37 PM

Good news, bad news...

The drummer we're working with, Ryche ('Rich') Green, will be spending the weekend with his ailing mother, who is in intensive care in a local hospital. She has already been read her last rites and is not expected to last much longer - our hearts and prayers go out to Rich and his family, and I have encouraged him to remain with his loved ones in this difficult time.

Therefore I am extremely happy that the Italian Stallion, my brother Gaetano Nicolosi, is available and has come on board for tomorrow's show in Detroit and Saturday's show at Big George's. It will be awesome for us to play together again - BRING IT ON.

JR - 3-29-2007 at 08:20 PM

Damn, now I really wish I was there......

MetalMan - 3-30-2007 at 01:51 AM

Cool, it will be great to see Gaetano again. Heading out to the highway in the AM.

Kathy1929 - 3-30-2007 at 01:57 AM

Oh that is totally awesome!! It will be a night to remember that is for sure!! :cool:

dylome - 3-30-2007 at 03:59 PM

Tonight at the Ritz, I am writing a Live review of the show which will be viewable on the homepage of the Radio Station that I write for.

skynyrdmh - 3-30-2007 at 06:47 PM

Hey Jay.....ya could try to pull off the Phil Colins routine at Farm Aid a few years back...LOL!!

If anyone cant remember......he played with Genesis here and then boarded an SST and flew to Englnad to perform with Led Zepplin for live broadcast........or vice versa. Was pretty cool!!!

ldyboxr - 3-30-2007 at 08:06 PM

YES!!! WE ARE READY and Waiting... Impatiently, but waiting... THE CD is playing like crazy!

bassangel69 - 3-31-2007 at 03:51 AM
