Roll Call

"Things they do look awful cold (talkin bout my generation)

 Hope I die before I grow old"

                                                 The Who

Well here we are facing our 17th birthday (this year it will be in Madison WI) and what must be our millionth tour (approx) and we are definitely starting to show our age. McCann's pipes are slowly shaking off the rust of prolonged vocal rest and Doyle's back is rebounding from a painful Olympic flare up. Bob remains unscathed....at least in the physical sense but his recent foray into hat wearing is cause for some concern. Murray is still sexy but narcoleptic when it comes down to actually having sex (no worries there girls) and Kris.....well Kris just wants us all to play at the same speed.

The Crew, as always, are fully rigged and ready for action. Andy, Jaye, and Brit are back for more punishment and we are very happy to welcome Johnny Dangerous into the fold (he's the young thing behind the mixing board....as sexy as Murray and nowhere near as sleepy). And yes, Glenn, perhaps the fittest of the lot, will be manning the merch crease every night.

Roll Call complete. It's time to shake off the stink of the studio and get back to work.

You only live once

 

Tosh

I'm starting to be more concerned with Bob's foray into scarf wearing ;)

OK, so I perused the tour page and if you're saying that you (GBS) turns 17 in Madison (March 17), then holy leprechaun, we have the same birthday!!  I always thought it was earlier.  Slainte!

...and speed does matter:)~

Happy birthday to you!  Many more years ahead!  And thanks for the music.

You know, though, if you're only 17 (or not quite 17, actually), then you're technically not legally allowed to drink yet.  I guess that means that songs like Old Black Rum and Paddy Murphy were based on what your parents told you about the experience of being drunk.  Unless you've been engaging in underage drinking . . .

Good ol' Kris - keepin' things together! Watch your back... I highly suspect that Murray will kill you for the comments re: sexual narcolepsy.

Have a theory about Bob's hats... it may have to do with the lighting... every photo I have of Bob he is standing out of his light & very much in shadow... if you've changed the lighting recently, Bob may have adopted the hat as portable shade.

BTW... are champagne birthdays (turning 17 on the 17th) a big deal for you as well? What extra special treat can the folks of Madison expect?

Tosh, I was figuring we might get a glimpse of you at the NTIF since it was such a pet friendly venue. Perhaps next time.

Tell your people to take care of their voices and backs...and their strange new fashion quirks. :)Poor Kris! The rhythm guy always has it hardest in the group, but at least that is balanced out by the fact that Murray doesn't seem to have it very hard at all. ;)


(Glad to hear that you have been enjoying Austin. It is a fabulous city--a large city with a great quirky small town feel. Sounds like you have seen and done quite a bit around Austin, but you didn't even get to experience the surrounding area yet. I guess y'all will just have to come back down here--soon and repeatedly!!! SXSW, perhaps?) :~)

The first time I noticed Bob with the scarf was at the Junos last year. Hmmm ... Tosh may need to take matters into his own paws and jump up, grab the hat and scarf and run!

True- You only live once.  Live each day like it is your last and appreciate each day like it is your first.

Slainte!
