Excellent Rehearsal Tonight.

Went to Olathe this evening straight from work.

Chad and Andy were there when I got there, but Evan was running a little later than me.
About the time we got everything fire up, he showed up though.

We had a real good practice. Everyone seemed to be in a good mood and ready to play.

Evan says that the Drifters Pig Roast will take place between Clifton And Palisade. I'm still not sure of the address or the time schedule, but they try to keep it a secret until the last minute to prevent party crashers.

Drifters Pig Roast.

Evan has booked us for the Drifters Pig Roast on June 11. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate this time. Unsure of the time and place, but I'll probably post it when I find out. Unfortunately, I believe it is a private party though.

Sound Troubleshooting Tonight.

Practice went good tonight.

We setup the equipment like it was an actual gig to find out what are sound issues are and the cause. We are all in agreement that the board has some bad channels.

Evan is going to take it in again and see if it may be just a dirt issue. About 6 channels are affected. If that is not the case, than I believe we will be in the market for a new one

We went over a few songs off the list tonight. Songs that were a little sloppy at the last gig.

Sport Center Lounge...

Back at the the Sport Center Lounge last night.

It was a good night. We had a lot of fun and a better than average crowd.

Andy was still a little sore from his surgery last week, but he pulled the night off without a hitch.

I think we are on the verge of looking for some new sound equipment. The sound board we are using is over 20 years old and I think is near the end of its life. Channels are going out of it and parts for it are obsolete. Our speakers are older yet and are beginning to crack making it that much more harder to get a good clean mix.

I think most of the people that was there were there for karaoke that is normally there on Saturday nights, but they all seemed to have a good time.

Thanks to the Sport Center for having us back!

Laid Back Rehearsal.

It wasn't a super productive practice, but we made due. Andy was home resting up from his surgery, so we just went over a few of the old songs on the list that needed to be touched on a little. We spent most of the time organizing a new set list. We should be ready for the Sport Center next Saturday. Hope there is a good crowd! Hint hint..

Next week we should know a little more about the gig at Sam's Tavern in Montrose. Hopefully, Evan can get us booked in there. Cross your fingers!

Trio Rehearsal. Andy Had Surgery Yesterday.

Rehearsal today is, once again, going to be a trio. Andy had surgery on Thursday, so he will be down a few days. I'm not sure of the details of how the surgery went yet, but when I find out, I will post his condition. Certainly hope he's getting along good!
