Mr. "Rose Colored Glasses" Webster thinks the LEFT turn signal is the "distraction"...I will humor him.
nakkedmonkey
It was an absolute JOY to see you last night! I mean that! You look fab! Congrats on quitting smoking. Wear your "no one cares about your blog" pin with pride.
Char
Forgot to getcha a MAGARITA last night. OOPS...next time I promise!
Monica
You must wear your "no one cares about your blog" pin for the next two weeks as promised! Great to see you and sis.
We were
NOT expecting to run into nakkedmonkey, Char or Monica last night at Slam Jam's...what a treat!
Mr. Webster and I stopped into Slam Jam's after his Swamp gig.
Slam Jam's is a great venue...and Cleveland loves "Country" music.
North of Texas is off to a great start, so early in the game.
Critics are expected to be "fair and balanced" and NOT compare their 2nd gig to well established bands on the scene. The passion is evident...the rest will fall into place.
Give a new band a break. There are rough edges to be smoothed and harmony to be added. I heard a bunch of you when you started,remember how it was? NOT will be there!A new singer on the scene!It's about time!

Despite the persistent pouting at country radio including WGAR, the Dixie Chicks' Taking the Long Way is now topping Billboard's country album chart for the third straight week. So there
They're not ready to make nice with country radio, but the Dixie Chicks appear to have an ally in the Americana Music Association. The trio's "Not Ready to Make Nice" received a nomination from the Nashville-based organization for song of the year on
Thursday (June 15).
The trophies for the Americana Honors & Awards will be distributed Sept. 22 at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.

We are going to the beach.
Websters IT WAS SOO Good to see you both Friday.. god its been ages.. I like North of Texas they really have potential.
JD~ LOL NO comment.
Web.. email me that pic u took of me and char on the dance floor if you get a chance .Thanks!! :)
Good Morning 6/19/2006
Could prove to be an "curious" day.
Bizarro activity on the blog over the weekend.
The email "problem" has subsided...so far today, very pleasant and positive.
I have figured out how to link clevelandcountry.blogspot.com to myspace.com/websterscountry.
If I sent you an invitation to "add", and you "hate" the blog/me...just ignore it. There is no need to be redundant.
nakkedmonkey
ditto...it might be a while on the picture. I promise to send it when I upload my camera again.
Looks like Char turned left at the light!
Charlene said...
Web - It was nice to run into you last Friday....
Yes, I'm going to give my objective view of the North of Texas....I think they did a good job at Slam Jams on Friday evening...Vocals were clear and music sounded good...better than some of the other bands I've seen in the past....
My disclaimer - I am not a musician so I CANNOT and WILL NOT criticize any of the musical talent...

Thank you for letting me know the Gary Nichols link wasn't working.

I caught Gary Nichols this morning. Sounded really good.
whew I had a close call couldnt fine my "no one cares about your blog" pin..but alas at the bottom of my purse there it was.. LOL sorry Web.. :^)
Me oh my, myspace is a curious place. Think I found george, a capricorn, he has no friends and says he is single.
I had some bad Olive Garden saturday nite I wasnt out no where last nite. I was cuddled on the couch in the central air.. LOL
I do NOT know the details...good karma?
North of Texas has JUST been booked for the WGAR "Country" night at Crazy Rita's this Thursday!
Chek this out. It's courtesy of the drummer from the Swamp Boogie Band.
Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to
$1.75 or more for 411 information calls when they
don't have to. Most of us do not carry a telephone
directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation
even more of a problem.
When you need to use the 411 information option,
simply dial 1 (800)FREE-411, or 1-(800)-373-3411
without incurring any charge at all, except for
the minutes required to make the call. If you are on
FREE MINUTES TIME with your calling plan, then you
incur no charges at all!
This is the kind of information people don't mind
receiving, so pass it on to your family and
friends.
This works on your home telephone as well!
Can't wait till Thursday! My first time out with NOT.
Carrie Underwood will perform the national anthem prior to Major League Baseball's All-Star Game at PNC Park in Pittsburgh on July 11.

ya played some SKYNYRD...gotta love that! Let's have lunch!

Left up to my own assumptions...I won't be making spaetzle for you anytime soon. The offer is always on the table.
Babysitters
I am hopeful you pay as much attention to your own lives/children as you do the blog.
Ponder This!
If your band is losing steam...it may not necessarily be the ensemble, more than likely it is behaviors.
Although, if you sound worse...there are plenty of critics to capitalize.
The professions of being "family" oriented is LOST in translation and actions.
Complaints are piling up!
The use of profanity, over the top drunkeness, breaks, escapades in the parking lot, bloviated opinions, whining about Lawless, and redundant emails can cost you the "preferred" venues. The smaller clubs are looking at the cash register...ut oh!
DRUNKEDNESS?? NOOOOOOOO say it isnt true!! LMAO
Hey guys,
Sorry I've been gone so long but trying to close our fiscal year out. The auditors want everything but my first born. Also been working on a new relationship. He washes dishes and clothes. What more could I ask?
What did I miss? I missed escapades in the parking lot? Probably for the best. Drunkenness? Profanity? All right now - who saw me last Saturday night? LOL Just kidding.
Molly there's always been 'stories' about parking lot escapades and drunkedness lmfao hell i was prolly involved LMFAO
Molly,
Yes, I believe it was us on my birthday. I remember alot of alcohol and I believe I fell down once said a bad word.
Have had some crazy times that's for sure!
I prefer my escapades in the privacy of my own home, though. NOT in a parking lot!!
are you "ladies" laughing at my insightful proclamations!
lmao Molly.. i was trying to be funnY!
Yes, very insightful indeed.
Nakked, I knew you were trying to be funny. lol
Web, why is ladies in quotation marks??? Are you implying that we are NOT ladies? No, we are not laughing at your insight....it's been quiet on here so we need to liven it up a bit!
"ladies" chat room reference!
put your buttons on right now!
Gotcha! I think we were just talking about that reference. Guess I'm not too quick today. lol
lol mines on my purse right now. displayed proudly!!

you could ask for a credit report?
webster
insightful procolmations indeed
you forgot blatant liars, and curious monkies
LMFAO.. UHHH
Comcastic...we are back up and running on this end!

Good Lord Joe
I value and respect your opinion. I am still waiting for my response on scam/win cards. Refresher: Should I just dump my WGAR card, or give them all up...along with my points and valuable merchandise. Are "frequent flyer miles" scam/win?
I can appreciate you not wanting to sacrifice your soul to capitalism, pop country or line dancers.
What sells...wins! Kinda the American way. Conformity until you own the PA and/or sold a million records. Now, if you had a bazillion dollars to launch yourself into a "real country" music career, you wouldn't be blogging.
You must "line dance" with the market and capitalize...then transition into "real country", if that is your cup of tea.
Your loyalty to to authentic "country" music is respected.
You and your words are always welcome.
Don't need a credit report. I'm very trusting.
Love the new country music. It rocks. Good driving music.
Getting ready to go home and relax by the pool. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Don't miss the "Foot Notes"...
I could very easily start the rumor right now!
I think starting rumors is unethical.
In my Ethics 101 class I learned it was not proper to boast about my skills and importance. It is unethical to make false claims. It is not unethical to say, I am from hell, it is unethical to tell others to go to hell. There was lots of discussion about hell; who is going, who is already there. I had to go to the bathroom and missed the part about being brain dead, and just caught the tail end of “raised by monkies”.
It is unethical to inflame minority groups. There was no mention of mailmen or cable guys. It is unethical to tell lies, repeat lies, deny lies. We did not cover half truths or email address theft in today’s discussion. The last few minutes was dedicated to when you get caught being unethical; the gist was start your own campaign against others, launch internal investigations, distract everyone so they forget what the issue was in the first place. My cell phone started ringing ( very unethical during class) and only heard part of the cardinal rule, something about never admitting you are wrong.
A TREE?!?!
Yes Molly,
She said "A Tree"
JDH please don't climb trees. You might fall and get hurt. We wouldn't like that.
Frankly, I like reading what John writes. Keeps the boredom out of the blog. Keep writing John.
HUH?
tracy
you ASSUME alot. I don't have a guestbook. I don't have a band.
Last time I checked, internet guestbooks were public, to be read by anyone with access to a computer. People in the free world understand their rights and the rights of others. If the posts are not meant to encourage discussion, then what is the point of the poster. My blog post did not mention any band or individual.
If you would like me to comment on shallow, just leave me a post.

I am NOT sure what drew you in this time to post at thee spot for Cleveland country. You and your words are always welcome. We do not edit, censor, moderate or delete posts.
I am pleased you selected the correct forum to share your thoughts....which are now public domain and the whole world can read...and comment on, wherever they want!
You should NOT be surprised that I agree with JDH and Frankley.
I am concerned you don't appear to have a grasp of the public domain concept.
The particular guestbook in question wants the attention, and desires to engage in word warfare...otherwise they wouldn't bother publishing their "ideas".
They just aren't very good at it.
Honestly, an overwhelming majority of our readers think Frankley is hysterical...myself included.

I'd like to thank Ron for helping us out last night at Rita's. I've had the great pleasure of working with some of the best drummers in Cleveland over the past 10-15 years: Ron, Gerry Parisi, J.W., Brian Baldwin, Danny W., Danny Martin, Andy--they all made me better! Gentlemen,I thank you.
NOT bad for the third gig!
One of my major pet-peeves is IGNORANCE!
The demonstration of ignorance is at all time high! I cannot believe ANYONE could be soooooooo stupid.
Foot
Good Lord...We do love you! Keep the karma...AMEN. You are the current "Godfather" of Cleveland country music. You might want to consider being the NEW Ambassador of the blog.
The previous Ambassador was impeached by an overwhelming majority of readers. The committee met, and voted unanimously that the previous Ambassador did not represent goodwill in the absence of the Executive Director.
JDH
You should have been there...for so many reasons.
RAH/drummer extraordinaire
My favorite Cleveland country drummer of all time. He's an "FM". He's awesome! New to country drummers...he's a great teacher also!

Check your email! I gave you my very last "no one cares about your blog" pin, you must wear it as promised.
North of Texas
You are NOT "just another country band"...don't let ANYONE tell ya any different.

Yes...I get nasty emails from the darnedest people.
I cannot use the content of my ALERT sent to him for "spider"
reasons. Some words are more glaring than others.
UPDATE
Whiskey Bent is NOT at Slim & Chubby's tonight.
Obviously, a miscommunication has occurred. Mr. Webster was planning to guest on bass tonight with Whiskey Bent.
According to Whiskey Bent, they were NOT notified of the cancellation until they arrived this afternoon to set up...if accurate, that sucks!

Web, here is the update from the Myster Bus Tour last night. Had a great time. Over 300 people on 5 or 6 party busses. Started out at the Garage on 25th. After that, no one knew where we'd end up. All we knew was every place would have a patio. First stop was the Velvet Dog with their rooftop patio. Then we went to the Thirsty Parrot - a familiar place to me as I spend a good portion of Indians Home Opener days there. Then it was off to N. Olmsted and a really nice place called Alexanders. I'm going to have to get out there again for dinner. Extensive menu. They do have bands there occasionally but according to one of the guys behind the bar, they are not interested in country. Bummer. Then we went to a place called Razzles. I don't recall too much about that bar because by then I had way too much beer in me. lol We ended our evening back at the Garage. This was my second tour and is really a good time and a great way to meet a lot of people. Most of the bars had food to munch on and there is beer on the busses so you get to continue having fun while someone else drives.
Hope everyone else had a great weekend!
Molly
We need to organize a "bus tour" of Cleveland country!!
Wouldn't that be a hoot?
Web, that's a great idea. I have the information on how to rent a party bus for the evening. I'll have to give them a call for a quote.
NOW...that would be awesome!
Can you email me ANY information about how to execute such an event!
OMG...we could have so much fun! There are great venues and great food along the Cleveland country pathways...and some of the best damn musicians in town!
Rule # 1...Fat' Boy's is a BIG fat NO!
Rule # 2...we play SYNYRD on the bus.
Rule # 3...we play The Dixie Chicks real LOUD!

I do not have any brothers.
My mother would never use the word "fart".
What "frontman" would be so dumb, that he would send a profane email to Mrs. Webster?
Web- Thank you for the egreeting. That was very sweet of you.
2 more visits and all should be done I hope. I had to resort back to the vicodin this weekend lol I dont like taking that but man did I feel good!! LOL
Cleveland Country "party bus" tour is looking like a reality.
I have made contact with the company.
We are looking at dates and availability for a Friday night.
Molly has volunteered to assist, is there anyone else interested in being on the "committee"?
Perks for the "event committee".
Just a clarification that an article about HL in the most recent issue of Exciting City was a misprint. Apparently they went through their archives to fill some space. At this time, Chris is not rejoining the band. The editor has been notified and hopefully some sort of retraction or correction will be forthcoming.
OK...we have selected a date!
Friday, September 1 for the Cleveland Country Party Bus!
I could be in on that as of now but I know I have a camping trip set tentatively for that weekend but not sure if friday or saturday we leave.
Haven't totally recuperated from Saturday's Bus Tour with Molly. Now we are having another?
Molly, no driving what so ever this time.
TKFan, I'm sure you'll be ready for another tour once 9/1 rolls around. LOL
tobeykeithfan
Did I hear you say you wanted to be on the committee?
Yep...we have launched into the feasibility phase.
So far...the plan is to start/end at ACE's. The Curtis Brothers are at Ace's on 9/1.

I am NOT losing my edge. I am guarding my speech. I am NOT at a loss for words...timing is everything. Check your email!
The Dixie Chicks are maintaining a firm perch atop the

Mr. Webster had a description of vampires that I thought needed a picture...found one in backup.
There are tickets available for Brooks & Dunn.

Experience has taught me that umpteen emails, a handful of posts and serious pageloading from the oddest places is NOT good news!
I don't have time or the energy to focus on any of it. I would like to enjoy the rest of the daylight hours with my husband.
Cya after dark!
2 for 1 for Brookes & Dunn... That's what you get when your band gets progressively worse with each album... BLAH!
Not sure how many of you guys/girls dig theatre and such... But I saw Wicked Saturday night...

If you get the opportunity, go see it while it's in town!
Brooks and Dunn Charity
Love Brooks & Dunn!
Twanger Heaven!
Tune into TwangCast and hear first hand the “country” music you’ve been missing!
I'm sure the Brooks & Dunn guys are awesome dudes... I just don't particularly like much of their music after their first 2 or 3 albums.
To each his/her own... It's what makes the world go all spinny round! ;-}~~~

A special Thank You to Mark for his on-going technical assistance.
Today, he provided information to assist me with my.space editing. He was also a great deal of help with blue links!
Clevelandcountry.blogspot is attracting 8-10 new visitors from myspace each day. A regional radio personality sent me an email to say she reads everyday!
Kinda interesting...over the weekend, the blog was viewed by 18 visitors from Australia. I guess I should thank Nicole and Keith.

Did somebody mention whacking balls???
No comment.

Whiskeyhound bashing? I find it hilarious.
Do your homework - we were once a cover band. Matter of factly, we still perform 4 nights a week - and not exclusively to the Beachland/Lime Spider crowds.
I'm a Barberton boy raised on Uncle Dave Macon, Doc Boggs, Cash and George Jones. After playing covers for ten years I started crafting songs. Because my songs aren't considered pop or commercial my playing field is not as broad as it once was. I can't change the style of songs I write and I can't don't care to.
Not once have we ever claimed to be ,or have been, a country band. We're more influenced by Charlie Patton than we are Tracy Byrd.
For the record - I've only had one job - www.hooverfence.com.
I congratulate all of you who choose to play cover music at some of the venues that my band doesn't play. You've found your niche and are carrying on one true musical tradition - passing music on to people. We're doing the same thing, it just happens to be a different style than yours. Like I said, more Alan Touissant than Alan Jackson.
I've got a family and this is how I choose to support my family. Awards don't pay the bills.
As ever,

The BAD news is I had 8 documents open, don't know what is saved and what isn't...could up end up really sucking...lemons!

The GOOD news is I have a document retriever...saves stuff for ya!
Cool Beans!
The BAD news is I was
NOT at The Savannah tonight...she sighs. The security system has to be reset when the power comes back on.
The GOOD news is
Mr. Webster just called!
The GOOD news is Mr. Webster says it's going well at The Savannah.
If he says so...it must be true! He is as much an expert as the rest of ya! Forty four consecutive years as a paid musician ain't nothing to sneeze at.
North of Texas does need to go very far for critical analysis and pointers. Mr. Webster will "teach" Country 101 without being asked.
I agree with John. Roger sounds like a cool guy. He's obviously been around the block.
Anybody "crafting" tunes... knows what's what!

Come on, people! Everyone knows that everyone is checking out the posts. Doesn't ANYONE have anything to say? Any more interest in the bus tour on 9/1 that Webster's trying to put together?

Song crafter is a little bit much for me. The craft is making the country formula into something new and different. The craft is playing what they want to hear, not what you want to hear.
Now if I had a buck for every time I've played--insert song here, musicians.
Molly
I plan to move forward with the party bus. I have contacted the company, made a tentative reservation for Sept. 1st. I am confident we will "sell-out".
Mr. Webster
Now you are talking like a fan!
Good for you! Now...if we could just work on the teacher voice.
OMG...Mr. Webster
If we had a buck for every time you played "Watermelon Crawl"!!!!
Sept 1st will be a lot of fun. Let me know when you have a tentative line-up of bars.
Molly
I have emails out to several of the clubs, and bands, however I am open to suggestions. ACE's seems like the best start/end. Curtis Brothers are there that night.

A quick Hello to all on the blog site - Thanks for the kind words of prayer and well wishes. I really met and hooked up with some of the nicest guys in The Curtis Bros. Band just prior to having my set back a few weeks ago, they are very patient and concerned and I am very fortunate to have them to call friends. I am look forward to getting out to gig as soon as my health allows. Thanks Again and God Bless. John Z.
Did someone say...MARGARITA!
I'll be with CONNOR O'BRIEN at LOCK 3 LIVE in Akron on the 4th of July @ 4:00 PM.

Thank You...I know we can use your help for the "party bus". There are perks for the committee.
Molly
On your party bus...did you have a keg? I am thinking MARGARITAS! I will be specific in my request for a bus...no dance pole (that would be rule #4).
Ernie
My second favorite bass player. Thanks for stopping out at Crazy Rita's. It is a GOOD thing to be recognized as a rock steady "Country" bass player!
RAH/Drummer Extraordinaire

Nakked, congrats! I had front row center last year so 10th row this year seems SO far back. lol I'll get over it and probably work my way up anyway.
