Yes, I know it has been 4 weeks since I last blogged. However, no one has complained so I have to think no one cares(or possibly even reads this stuff).
We are in the midst of playing a couple of private parties this weekend. In about an hour, we leave for Brainerd. For us, this is a road trip.
Next weekend, October 3 & 4 we will be at the Windbreak in Fargo. This will be our first time playing in the room and we hope ALL of our fans show up. That means Anna and Joel. If we have any other fans, please let us know. This will also be the first time we have played a Fargo club since Mr. G's about 4 years ago. Why has it taken so long you ask? Because we were playing Chumley's in Moorhead about every 6 weeks and that seemed like enough to play the FM area at that time. Unfortunately, the smoking ban, DUI laws, economy and who knows what else has put a crimp on live music in Moorhead.
Bud celebrated his 49th birthday on September 25. However, he was not celebrating when he was back at work at 7:00 am on the 26th. In the balloting for "Shakers Employee of the Week", we discovered there must have been some tampering in the ballot box because Bud had 126 votes, Dave 1, Donny 1 & Steve 1. After all was straightened out, once again Dave Swang was named Employee of the Week. The main reason was that despite working all week at his regular job, he was able to find time to design and print new posters. He calls them the "Retro Look". Take a look and tell us what you think.
