Thomas' Gibson ES-347-2800 manufactured in 1980 and Joe's "First Bass Guitar" the Ibanez Roadstar ll built in 1982 which in Joe's words was still "When Ibanez made good guitars".
John Paul Skocik opened the nights proceedings with an acoustic set of well written Killer tunes, afterwards I asked him if he was an Elvis Costello fan and he replied in the affirmative. Mr. Costello aint no slouch when it comes to song form so we were all happy unanimously. Thanks John for the Girl To Gorilla CD which was gifted to me and just recorded and will get a play on my Audio Device immediately.
Yeggs Is As Yeggs Be.
We performed a loose, short and Brisket marinated set and at one point the Drummer even dropped his stick only to quickly recover of course.
Premiered tonight was the Chuck Berry Classic "Memphis,Tennessee", "Cadillac Ranch" courtesy of THE BOSS of whom Jennie recommended we cover and who me and Joe took about 1 minute to decide on which tune, Paul McCartney's Beatles barnstormer "I'm Down" and a new original tune penned by Joe and dedicated to his wifey "She Made This House A Home".
A couple of Yeggs goofing around.

Taken from my vantage point. Me thinking I don't know what the hell
is going on.
Box Of Crayons played a Ramshackle set that had me smiling throughout.
OK, there is something to be said about this. Smiling is possibly the greatest emotion that one can profligate and the Box Of Crayons floored me tonight. It possibly truly began with their rendition of their original song "I Want To Punch My Neighbor In The Nose" but only escalated from that point on.
Brian Dillon, Need I say More.
Fran Powers, Need I say More.
Jennie ordered a Pizza Pie from a local joint and fed us all. Here is my self centered and Gratuitous photo of FOOD ON DRUMS and this was indeed for the first time "posed" but I was deeply in conversation with my friends so I rushed back to the table, Pizza in hand of course. Forgive me Carl as we do have an intrinsic bond over this behavior.
So as not to tarnish Joe's Remo Drumhead with Pizza grease or crumb tumblings I gingerly nestled my Slice upon the hallowed B.B. King's sweat rag of which lives inside of my gig bag, if my demise is near then please C.S.I. look into the DNA of said rag.
AND Lets give a Salute and "Shout Out" to Jennie of whom I always go to for advice even if she does not realize it and is one of my guiding lights. Plus she takes care of my Brother Joe.
