The Frank Dunch page is just that...the Frank Dunch page. I have copied and pasted the posts prior to the annoucement and those that have little to do with his rememberance during the mourning period...
The death of Frank Dunch has changed the landscape of Cleveland Country for the rest of my lifetime.
That was said in a very emotional state and FS was saying something nice about Frank and I spoke out of turn. Lets not stir that pot again please!!!

My New Year's resolutions are NOT to LOL at the "truth". NOT to make fun of timj. NOT to log-on more than 5 times a day. NOT to quit smoking. NOT to start a fitness plan. NOT to save for retirement.

one of my New Year's resolutions is to NOT make fun of timj.
Would anyone care to tell my I shouldn't? What was said between Frank and I was our business. Please do NOT lecture me about kahunas. Otherwise, you are just asking for it. You pompous arrogant jerk.

Yes, I agree, you spoke out of turn. The pot is plenty stirred up, from umpteen angles. It's been sitting on the stove for a week.
I am NOT really interested in cutting YOU or anyone else ANY slack.
YOUR grief is NOT worse than anyone else's, and does NOT pardon your behavior...NOT here.
The mail matters...
It is my assertion, that my email is the TRUE barometer of the Cleveland country music scene.
With that said...take cover.

Are you a chart geek...like me?
This weeks Billboard, GAC and CMT all in one spot,
Right Here!
NOMINATE FRANK DUNCH
We all agree...he was the BEST!
Cleveland Country musicians, bands, fans, foes, friends and extended family agree...Frank was the best!
Cleveland country does NOT agree on much...except Frank Dunch and the LOVE of country music.
We loved the sounds he made....he made Cleveland country...God love him!
He should have been nominated for this award on an individual basis when he was alive...somehow he was overlooked. Frank Dunch was an AWESOME guitarist in all genres...PERIOD!
Not sure if there is country tonight at Willoughby Brewing. They have not updated the schedule for January.
The Free Times nominating process for the 2007 awards ends sometime tomorrow.
Frozen in time at age 42...
The King of Rock and Roll/Rockabilly would be celebrating his 72nd birthday on Monday.
Mr. Webster loves to tell the story of the first time he saw Elvis on television (1956).
He was seven years old...by the following weekend he had a guitar. He would board a Toledo city bus (alone) and travel across town to be mentored/taught by Dave Yorko of Johnny and The Hurricanes.
Coincidently, The Beatles opened for Johnny and The Hurricanes. YES...I got that right, (1961 or 62) The Beatles opened for Johnny and The Hurricanes in Hamburg, Germany
So...the pleasant distraction for tomorrow is ELVIS. His memory is reverent at our house. Ya know...since GRACELAND, Mr. Webster is a different man.
Idol is coming...my FAVORITE distraction. I will be bringing the IDOL page out of the archives in the next week or so.
New Year message for 007
WHISPER...”I Believe”
Believe in tomorrow and what it can bring,
and make 2007 YOUR dream-come-true year.
PEACE, Love and Country Music!
I didn't get it to EVERYONE personally, Frank's death shifted my focus, my memories and prayers.
I have updated the "LEFT" thread. Disclaimer: if your disdain meter is set at HATING the people that bash the president/CEO/Commander and Chief or detest the IRAQ policies. You won't be happy with the content...opposing views are welcome.
Oh Goodie Goodie !

Good Morning!
Tuesday...already?
Monday was a blur...all day software training. I am ramping up for a brand new senior housing development.
The blog will be off-line for several hours today. NOT that it matters...no one cares!
Yes...that is the best picture of Les Paul, I could find.
No...I am NOT responding to emails, there is at least one already circulated and has been returned to me.
NO...I do NOT forward your emails. They are safe with me.
YES...I save the good ones for a rainy day.
NO...It is NOT the year of the Longhorn. NOT by my calendar.
YES...I STILL read all the band websites, blogs, guestbooks, and MySpaces.
YES...I have heard and read, Blue Moose is changing their line-up for Wednesday nights.
YES...ACE's is still the BEST country venue. NEVER said it wasn't. DAH!
I need more Pepto.
Another day...another NEW firewall. The lengths a woman will go to preserve words.
The NEW year got off to such a rough start. Don't know about you, but I am still mourning.
I wish it would go away, but it won't.
I am glad I told Frank he was the best...told him Lawless Don was a very very very very very close second.
I encouraged Frank to go out and see Lawless Don play.
I assured him, it would be worth it...don't know if he ever did.
Ya know...I am glad I told Frank the truth.
I am NOT at peace with his death...even though I embrace the concept that he does.
His peace will be everlasting.
He deserves everlasting PEACE.
He sought it, he talked it and God
love him, he walked it.
When the call came...New Year's Day, I was right in the middle of a Frank thought, responding to SOMEONE as to why I was so unfavorable to Laredo, and why I don't publish their "concert/tour" schedule.
For the umpteenth time, they asked me NOT to.
I've told the truth, and withheld the truth. Frank's death poured salt unto the earth.
Frank had a great sense of humor about all the "hoop-las"...
I am saving, what he said for a rainy day.
BTW...I want to say thank you to XM radio.
Web- Yes, Frank did come out see us and in typical Frank fashion, had nothing but nice things to say. I'm still very sad that I had to make that my first call of the New Year to you.
Nashville Star...don't know if I am gonna watch it, but I will be tracking it and blogging it.
I have favorites already.
Nashville Star is in my TOP FRIENDS Myspace.

BTW Taylor Hicks will be at the HOB on Saturday, March 31st.
Ummmmmmm...guess I misspoke. Happens all the time.
We don't ALL agree.
I believe Frank Duntch was the BEST. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
What are YOU doing July 14th ?
Kenny Chesney
Brooks & Dunn
Sara Evans
Pat Green
Cleveland Stadium
Char, what are you going on vacation??
Sounds like fun. I'm spending the first week or so of July in NYC and NJ....if all goes as planned anyway.
My question is who's going to close the Chesney--Brooks and Dunn show. Which one is bigger? What do you think?
RubyKing,
"Stand up.Have you ever been there?
Stand up.Testify."
Hey Mr. Web...
The answer to your question regarding the Chesney and B&D show is.... WHO CARES!!!???!!!??? Neither one of them has done anything worth a damn in the last 6-7 yrs...hahahaha.
Sara Evans should headline! She's the best of the entire lot anyway.
;-}~~~
Mark and I disagree agree...again.
I LOVE Kenny and Brooks& Dunn.
NOT sure what Mr. would say...NEVER do, he said "Take me to the Country" ! So...I did!
As for me, I am still mourning. Prayerful for the people that loved Frank, and miss him.
I told SOMEONE today; "I wish we would have had the opportunity to sit around in a room and mourn Frank together." Maybe...I should have it out here in the country.
I am still too sad to tell all, or comment on everything...
Nashville Star starts tonight. I'll link ya. I KNOW I will NOT be awake to watch it. I have already formed an opinion on many of the contestants.
...OH, I am riled up about EVERYTHING else in current events.
At one point, I bolted out of bed because I was hearing voices...it was just the Republicans, NOT the voice of the spirits.
Missed the season premier of The Apprentice...pissed at Trump.
His jack-ass behavior has finally surpassed his business acumen.
IDOL is on it's way...opened the archive from last year. I catered to a focus group and moved IDOL away from the bantering of the bands and fans.

According to the P.D., Kenny Chesney is the headliner.
Wow! We're "douche bags" now it seems! ROFLMAO (Check previous page). The poster must not have realized, at 4 AM, that it takes one to known one.....as a former poster that is.... But, the time tells it all...
If nobody cares about us then nobody should be on here reading what is written. Do you think she posted on the previous page thinking no one would even read it?
Well, I care anyway !!!
Char - my thoughts exactly!
Correct, TKF! She cares or she wouldn't be checking it out. As for why the post wasn't on the current page, it WAS almost 4 AM! Probably couldn't see it.
Well, we're blogger "friends" anyway.
Monica is a.......
Is anyone doing anything productive over here??
What do you consider productive?
Real productive or Monica productive?
Well, I'm being productive!!! Working my butt off over here !!!
I think someone needs to enlighten me on the definition of productive. It's 4ish PM, not AM, I'm sober and I'm not calling people names. Am I doing something wrong???
Molly,
I'm sober too. Maybe that's the problem?

January 13, 007
Still playing catch up from the first of the year.
Frank died...and time sorta stopped.
New Year's Day 007 was NOT a good day.
The optimism of a fresh new year has fallen by the wayside.
I had it New Year's Eve. I have NOT been able to tap into that optimism yet...but I want it.
I am wondering out loud if "Anthony" is convicted enough about his choice for the BEST guitarist, to have nominated Brad, from Kentucky Thunder, for the Free Times Music Awards...instead of just posting Frank was OK, and didn't deserve an elevation in status because of his death.

THE NEW YEAR DESERVES A NEW ROAD, AND WISE MEN TAKE IT.
OK then...Men won't use maps, so the women will have to lead.
Tonight (Sunday) @ Willoughby Brewing
Lawless
Sifting through my email...but had to stop to respond to a "someone" and clarify for others that are interested.
My angst over the New Year is NOT limited to Frank. Good Lord... I am NOT rocking back and forth in a corner. Often, my internal unrest is anchored to current events and other liberal bias nonsense.
It's New Year's Eve for many Eastern Europeans and Russians.
I had forgotten that my children and I often observed the orthodox holidays with their grandparents and/or my in-laws...tomorrow is New Year's Day.
I think it's gonna work. My optimism is returning.
It's a NEW year.
Webster (and company)-
I am officially declaring this Wednesday (January 17) MY official New Year's. I will be turning 50 years old and will be "shedding my skin" to hopefully reveal a new and improved Foot. While there will definitely be remnants of the "old Foot", of whom I am VERY fond, I'm sure that the last few months changes and experiences will show.
Anyone wishing to participate can join me at the Curtis Brothers show at Ace's that evening.
I think we ALL need a new New Year!!
The countdown continues......
Hola Amigo's.. LOL hows everyone?
lol i did was half n half lol dork
LOL NEENER NEENER NEEENER LOL
ACE's sounds like the place to be Wednesday night. It's Foot's 50th birthday. It sounds awesome. ACE's is STILL the BEST venue on the westside.
Hey...anyone trying to break out of this market...Try Detroit. They love country music too!
Happy New Year!!!!

Best wishes today and in the coming year, Foot!
Foot--I miss the Rebound. A "Wurlitzer Prize" to you on your birthday!
Who knows what the T.B. stands for?
I do, I do!
Blue Moose confirms no more WGAR nights. There is NOT a band there tonight. They plan to have a band every other Wednesday featuring either Lawless or Black River Band.
Tonight at ACE's is the Curtis Brothers with special guest Foot...celebrating his New Year and his fiftieth year.
Lawless is at The Savannah.
Frank Dunch not getting nominated for the Free Times awards is more than just a shame. It bothers me. There was a window of opportunity, and Cleveland country fans blew it. How many votes would it take to get a nomination and make the top 5?
The Tabloid Twangers managed to get nominated, they had practically fallen off the face of the earth until recently. Hillbilly Idol has had about three gigs in the past 6 months, same for Hayshaker Jones.
One more thing.
Who at the Blue Moose thought giving Black River Band all those dates was a good idea. Did I read it right? The choices are Lawless or Black River Band on Wednesday night?
I'm as baffled as you, Simon, on the Blue Moose choice.
I voted for Frank! We all should have extended ourselves for this one. Hillbilly Idol's schedule is always empty. They sure have a lot of friends, huh?
Hey nobeerhere
Are you watching American Idol? Be sure to comment on the American Idol page.
Ernie
We are patiently waiting for your report on American Idol. I have delegated you as a "special" correspondent.
Simon
Yes...it's disappointing. I thought it was a "slam-dunk" getting Frank Dunch nominated for the Free Times Music Awards.
Nashville Star continues tonight.
The first vote is revealed. In an ironic twist...Miranda Lambert will open the show, she was voted off Nashville Star in the first or second.
Whitney Duncan and
David St. Roman lead the early polls. I think Dustin Wilkes will be sent back home.
Hey all!
Thanks for trying to get Frank voted in. I'm grateful!
Also thanks for the birthday wishes and visits at Ace's last night. Yes....I'm much better now!
Finally, my pick on Nashville Star-
Zac Hacker! What a set of pipes! Absolutely NAILED Earl Thomas Conley. Even though one of the girls sang Tulsa Time, this guy's my new favorite to win.
OH yeah!
Happy Bobby Goldsboro's birthday!
January 19, 007
Good Morning...it's FRIDAY!
Foot
Happy Happy Birthday, did ja hear me singing, Wednesday morning?
Nashville Star
I like Zac and his sister Angela. David St. Roman is leading most of the independent polls.
Who told Whitney (Tulsa Time) those earrings were a good idea?
Jewel is about clueless when it comes to country, she did NOT know Earl Thomas Conley.
I thought it was interesting that Jewel was a guest judge on the premier of American Idol.

Hey Web...
Are you particularly disappointed in the lack of talent in the male group of singers on Nashville Star? I could pull 3 people from the Greater Cleveland area that are better than those guys!
Just an observation...
January 20, 007
Mark and I disagree...again!
David St. Roman reeled em in with "Wave on Wave".
ZAC HACKER is my underdog.
So...NO, I am NOT disappointed by the male vocalists on Nashville Star this season. As to whom in Cleveland, might be a better male vocalist than Zac and David is a matter of opinion...and I am sure we would disagree there too.
I am disappointed bout the MC's. Jewel is clueless and Troy cannot muster the stage presence to NOT look like a deer in the headlights while reading a prompter.

I don't think the people are absolutely horrible... Just hard to imagine that THAT is the best America has to offer in country singers.
Probably really doesn't matter anyway, Web... Buddy Jewel and Miranda Lambert have been the only ones to really do anything after Nashville Star and their success has been marginal at best. I thought Brad Cotter was really good and it seems the only thing he's succeeded in doing is disappearing.
Who knows the connection between the country star on the front page to the movie "Mars Attacks"?
It seems the only way to kill Martians is with the golden tones of Slim Whitman singing "Rose Marie"! It also features the best casting I've seen....Jack Nicholson as the President!!!
As far as the hosts of American Idol (the Redneck Tapes), they do make me miss Chuck Barris!
Indian Love Call & I'm Casting My Lasso Towards The Sky are on the soundtrack.
Oh and by the way... I'm hardly that smart. I love imdb.com! They're your answer to any TV/Movie trivia... ;-}~~~
January 21, 007
My girl...Kellie Pickler goes GOLD !
Former Nashville Star champ Brad Cotter
has signed with Nashville-based independent record label Adobe Road.
Good Lord...Mark and I disagree again!
Miranda Lambert...marginal success?
The girl didn't even WIN Nashville Star.
Signed to MAJOR label...SONY.
She toured with Keith Urban, George Straight, and will tour with Toby Keith this year.
Kerosene debuted at # 1 on the country charts, and has since been certified GOLD.
Miranda, at the ripe old age of 23, has been nominated by the CMA for the BEST video and the HORIZEN award twice, the ACA for BEST New female artist, and a Grammy this year.
The "L" clash continues on the ACE's guestbook. Same charaters, comments, and screen names.
So Web... Check out Buddy Jewel's accomplishments... Where the record debuted, how many hits, what tours he did, who he's opened for, etc... And tell me... Where is he now?
Miranda will join him in that same abyss soon enough... Don't you worry. She just got a later start.
Have any of these reality show contestants had any staying power whatsoever? They basically get their 15 minutes and fade.
Mark and I AGREE...on Buddy Jewel.
Miranda got an EARLY start...23 YO VS 47 YO. She has plenty of time to recreate herself to appeal to the masses again and again. NOT gonna happen for Buddy.
Miranda is still with her MAJOR label...Buddy was dumped in O5.
Miranda has been nominated by every entity representing the music industry...Buddy was NOT.
Staying power...NOT so sure.
In my estimation/opinion, there are only a handful of artists in history that have sustained the masses for years and years.
Hey Web... I bet it literally pained your fingers to type the word "agree" in relation to something I posted...haha.
I think tons of artists/bands have sustained the masses for years. Unfortunately, most of them aren't in the country genre. There's more turnover in the country realm than in some local bands!
And really, if you think about it... There are a bunch of country artists who have been around for years that keep on keepin' on. Take Tracy Byrd, for instance... He's never been a MEGA star, but he's been solid. He's been around since like '94. 13 yrs... That's a lifetime in the music biz. He's "sustained the masses" in a sense. There are literally DOZENS of artists/bands at his level who are consistently putting out albums and touring w/ some level of success.
Sustaining the masses doesn't necessarily mean at a superstar status... They can simply be solid performers who release solid records throughout their career.
Will you at least give me that?
Oh, and by the way, Web... I had to look something up because I had a feeling that you were incorrect. This is from the Buddy Jewell website:
"He earned major award nominations from the ACM for Best New Artist, the CMA for the Horizon Award, CMT Flameworthy Breakout Video and a Grammy nomination for his participation in Amazing Grace III a special gospel project.
Yes sir...I will, NOT the least bit painful.
I was wrong.
I have been corrected by Mark regarding Buddy Jewel's industry recognition and we AGREE on his 15 minutes of fame.
Tracy Byrd does have staying power for those of us that love country...however he isn't exactly on the upward swing of his career.
The Funky Frog is NOT exactly the pinnacle of success.
I was thinking "super star" status
with regard to a handful of artists that have been able to sustain generations of fans.
And I agree w/ you, Web. You are correct when you qualify your previoius statement w/ the "superstar" status parameter. There really are only a handful of those performers floating around. Unfortunately, half of them are dead now...haha.
Sometimes...I am compelled to bring the "LEFT" thread to your attention.
The
IRAQ Coalition Casualty Count for yesterday has been modified three times since 7:30 this morning.
My thoughts and prayers are with all those kids over there.
As many of you may or may not know, my girlfriend was activated in November and (luckily) stationed in San Antonio, TX for the next year and a half.
I have a special place in my heart for all who serve.
Hey,

ACE's guestbook
Same karma...different forum.
I posted the obvious to the ACE's guestbook. The end result could have been predicted.
I LOL at the guest posters pretending NOT to read the blog and assigning bad karma.
Ya see...I don't pretend NOT to read all the forums pertaining to Cleveland country music.
ACE's is an AWESOME venue. The idea that I have ever deviated from that assessment is terribly skewed and manufactured misinformation.
Cleveland Country Blogspot has vigorously supported ACE's since it opened.
Mrs. Webster's MySpace has featured ACE's in "Top Friends" multiple times.
Recently, I requested ACE's to "banner me" on my MySpace for the Curtis Brothers and Foot's birthday...they didn't.
I suggested ACE's lose the cheesy photo on MySpace and go to their logo for optimized recognition...they didn't.
I asked ACE's to provide something other than Ice House hearsay about the New Year's Eve debacle...they didn't. I did NOT go bantering to their guestbook after Rossi's post here.
My only REAL issue with the place is children in the club. Women drinking with small children in tow is NOT a good idea. A common sense business policy. I am NOT talking about tweens line dancing with their parents. I'm talking about 5 year olds....
Our karma is fine...since ya all found somewhere else to blather about the greatness of Laredo. PERIOD!
Wow! Good morning to everyone. My two cents is that I LOVE Ace's and spend probably way too much time there. lol
My prayers go out to your friend and her fiance's family.
Char
Thank you for sharing such a tragic and personal event with us.
I'm saddened every day, by every loss of life in Iraq.
I've been focused on the "LEFT" thread. My updates yesterday were pretty grim. It is NOT for everybody. That's why it's called "LEFT". It's FAIR warning!
The ACE's thing...
I am still miffed at this Rossi character...but continue to support his establishment.
The idea that our bloggers called the liquor police over Laredo is flippen absurd! Did anyone tell Rossi that the Laredo/campers are regular readers of clevelandcountry.blogspot.com.
Maybe it was one of them...
"SOMEONE" at The ICEHOUSE said "SOMETHING".
I sent whynner to The ICEHOUSE bout a month ago.
BTW It is well documented and within public access that the liquor police were out everywhere issuing warnings about SUNDAY liquor/NYE...
ACE's received a notice/general memo prior to their on-site visit outlining the rules and stipulations of a SUNDAY liquor license.
Warnings were issued well in advance of New Year's Eve.
It was their own mismanagement of standard operating procedures that caused the NYE cancellation.
Again...the venue is great, food is good, great dance floor, neato stage, clean bathrooms, staff is pleasant, No cover, great parking....yada yada yada.
I mean I have said these things over and over and over again to the point of being ridiculed for my favoritism towards ACE's...by the Laredo camp.
My ONLY real complaint is NOT just my complaint.

Good Morning
Kinda curious if American Idol will break away for the "State of the Union" address tonight.
Good Lord... Didn't anyone tell the president, he was up against IDOL?
American Idol goes to Memphis. Laura Bush wishes she could watch Idol tonight...maybe she has TiVo.
Nobeer - You are so silly! LOL
The Seattle tryouts scared me so much I'm almost hesitant to watch tonight. Bush scares me too so if they pre-empt Idol I'll be frightened either way.
Idol or George, George or Idol
I pick Idol.
nobeerhere
Later to today, we can all read on the Ace's guestbook you did all the bands.
Web
Read your update on the Frank page.
It is not your fault he did not get nominated. As far as the Laredo guestbook post that Frank was undeserving, consider the source and the boys involved.
Im glad i dont go reading those other blogs cuz ill tell ya id have to open up a can.. lol
lol NOBeer no no no I SLEPT WITH THEM LOL
I tried to access the Lawless blog today but it's been down. I ventured over to the Curtis Bros. blog today for the first time. The guestbooks are the ones with the most b.s., in my opinion. I think I've only posted once on the Ace's site and I'm almost afraid to look at it this week! LOL
lol umm im not fake!!
ohh btw NOBEER 2morrow is "D" day FINALLY!!!!!!
Mon
It's hardly an apology when it's followed by an excuse for the behavior. How grand of you to come by and tell us you are a jackass with balls. I'll keep that in mind.
What's the matter, "Simon"? Did Monica hit a little too close to home?
Just curious.
"They're gonna put me in the movies!
They're gonna make a big star out of me."
Which Beatle sang this song?
What does FOX do...do they take a pass on George for Ryan?
Ball amputations in Iraq daily on the "LEFT" thread.
Hey...know what, IDOL is only on for an hour. Thought it was two.
We can ALL watch George!
Hey Mr. Web...
Survey says.... Ringo!

Wednesday Night Country
Heartland...ACE's
Lawless...Blue Moose
VERY original! Haven't heard that one before.
Uh, am I the "goof"? Not sure who you're talking about. I believe I only ate 4 meatballs last night. LOL Pretty good too. However, I didn't go around counting every else's meatballs so I guess I've missed your point, if there was one.
Molly,
I had 5 meatballs. There's your 9.
Didn't know anybody cared to watch us eat.
Yeah really. I've heard of some really strange fetishes...maybe "counting meatballs" is a new one?
Maybe they ran out of meatballs and Does it matter didn't get any.
Oh well, it doesn't matter anyway. Tee Hee
Just another person hiding behind a made up name/phrase.
The meatball melodrama is straight from the Ace's guestbook.
Let's see,I saw somebody eat a meatball sandwhich,they were great by the way,I had 3 myself,than I saw people line dancin,than I heard the Heartland Band play and than I went after my third meatball sandwhich and listened to the Heartland somemore afterwords.In closing I would like to say that the MEATBALL sandwhiches tasted great.Keep up the good work Aces.I like it better when webmaster adds her 3 cents worth,the woman is so knowledgeable in the local country scene that she puts all of to shame,Oh WEBMASTER,are there any words of wisdom for today?The all knowing WEBMASTER,YEAH RIGHT!Here's 1 for ya WEBMASTER,if a fish and a half costs a buck and a half,how much r five fish?Oh WEBMASTER,here's a clue,there is only one correct answer

Simon
Ya got Mr. Webster all riled up.
I had to explain that you imported the post from ACE's guestbook.
does it matter
NO...it doesn't. Let ACE's deal with the "meatballs".
nobeerhere
Is there something to share?
Molly
I don't know what happened to the Lawless blog?
Nashville Star tonight !
Hardy!!! What happened to the blog? I look forward to reading your recap early in the week.
Anyway, you're right Web. It really doesn't matter. I just thought it very odd that someone could go on and ON about meatballs! lol
January 26, 007
Kacey Musgraves was eliminated from Nashville Star last night.
Simon, Simon, Simon - Did it ever occur to you that someone's feeding you a line? Don't be so gullible. Sara and Jen are sadly mistaken. Actually, I don't think I even know a Jen so not sure where she gets off pointing any fingers. Maybe to shift the focus off herself onto someone else? Perhaps. As for Sara, barely know her but she's always pleasant. Just an acquaintance with terrible "guessing" qualities it seems. Then again, not even sure this would be the same Sara since so many people are afraid to actually reveal themselves in public. It's a game and you're all playing it. However, I've been slammed before and I'm not afraid of anyone. I still come out to see most of the bands and I'm certainly not afraid to be seen. Can the rest of you say the same? Nope, you can't because most of you are still hiding behind fake names. I'm not this person calling herself/himself Tracey. If I have something to say, I'll post under Pat or Molly, one and the same person. The people who actually matter the most know the truth. Everyone else can just, in the words of Aaron Tippin, "Kiss this!"
Obviously, most think that I'M the one "feeding a line". Believe what you will. It doesn't alter my life in any way.
I saw that someone used a similar name....if it was NOT you, it only proves that people can put whatever they'd like in that name box and then turn it around to bash someone else. And "boring" is not how I would describe it over there. Pathetic and allegations without merit? A RESOUNDING "YES"!
Molly
Just so you and everyone else knows, I have NEVER posted to the Ace's guestbook.
"Someone" is playing games.
Someone
You are such a jerk. I retired the frankley speaking screen name shortly after Frank Dunch died, and went with Simon. I would NEVER use that screen name again!
All the new guests at Ace's are names from this blog, including Web's niece, Jen.
Let's put on our thinking caps.
Who do we know that is pathetic, has no life, has Thursdays and Fridays off, has their head buried up Laredo's hind end, and would eat three meatball sandwiches in one sitting.
I vote for_________________
Simon, I honestly didn't think it was you but one never knows. I do recall that you retired the FS name and thought the post was kind of odd. Especially since they keep going on about a WEBMASTER...not even the correct term. I'm still not sure I've MET a "Jen". But that's unimportant. IF it is SOMEONE playing/instigating this b.s., that would be very interesting seeing as SOMEONE was one of a only a handful that I actually knew on meatball night.
Whynner
You have won the prize pack, a dozen of Ace's meatballs.
The SOT crowd causes all the trouble, and then they will come back with "can't we all just get along", "we just want to make music", "support local music".
Maybe if they would have spent less time on their computers annoying others and more time on voting, they could have gotton their favorite band nominated for the Free Times award.
Mr. Webster
Sorry about the confusion.
I told myself that I wouldnt blog in here again!Ive been doing my thing and I guess everybody else has been doing there thing!Lets leave it at that!At least I have hair on my balls to come in here to tell you that I have nothing to do with nothing!Before you start pointing fingers at people,make sure you have the right person or persons!Im going to be at Aces tonight,you want to talk to me,talk to me,if you dont want to talk to me,by all means dont.Fuckin people?Sorry,I guess Im using jail talk!
GO TO JAIL, go directly to jail, do not pass go, do not collect two hundred dollars.
I did not see one finger point your way. Hmmm, must be feeling guilty about something.
Thank you Michael! You stated my point exactly. Before ANYONE points fingers, they should make sure they are pointing at the correct person.
For the master deleter, denier, dunce.

...and the saga continues.
The intent of a few individuals was to stir the pot, and so they have. Now what?

Where there is a black kettle, there is Texas chili.
For the upmteenth time...ACE's is an AWESOME venue. I hear they have great meatballs.
So...someones testosterone level has escalated. Well then, let's just add some alcohol, beat on our chests, and threaten the nice guy. Someone could end up in jail. Wouldn't that be a hoot?!
Please NOTE the use of profanity and the redundant reference to genitalia, (free of the alopecia trait). Clearly, the definitive sign of a SOT.
Ya point out the obvious, and the snit starts. Before ya all decide for me, how I should treat another intrusion. I am NOT the "turn the other cheek" kinda gal. I work at it...but fail miserably.
January 27, 007
Good...just about everybody is awake, and has logged on to clevelandcountry.blogspot.com at least once...then there are the bodies that are obsessed.
Is anyone feeling teste this morning? Ya notice they call it teste NOT este.
Someone might benefit from a bikini wax. hairy@lakewood.com is highly recommended.
The ACE's guestbook is attempting to moderate their posters to focus on the club instead of my blog. I am hopeful they sent the memo to the SOT camp.
To the best of my knowledge, I do NOT know anyone named "Justin". I bring this to your attention only because "Justin" seems to think he knows me...identifies me by my married name. hmmmmmmmm
As for the "copycat" screen names, what a dufus....
For your dining, dancing, dating and drinking pleasure;
Curtis Brothers...The Doghouse
Heartland...Jewel's Dance Hall

Monday already?
It's quiet...here, there and everywhere. GOOD !
Lawless & Kentucky Thunder don't need the validation of their fans. The other band needs their egos stroked constantly. That, and the fact that they want Ace's to think they're just an awesome band so they can continue to get the preferential treatment of two consecutive gigs on the weekend.
OK. I'll take your word on that but Lawless played Fri. and was off Sat. I would think they would have played the whole weekend but perhaps they wanted Sat. off.
Molly - I didn't feel like writing the damn thing any more. LOL
The bottom line is not size of the crowd! How much does the crowd drink? That's the bottom line. Playing these bars isn't going to get any of us anywhere. Some foolishly focus on bar gigs and catering to a particular crowd. Bad business sense!
Lawless could play 4 nights a week if we want. I don't want to play bars 4 nights a week any more. If it's a new club in new territory, back to backers don't bother me. I WANT a night off on the weekend damn near every week anymore. I get more time at home with my kids that way. I hardly ever go out if I'm not gigging.
Damn near every bar owner has talked to us about what a pain in the ass "some" folks are, or literally how bad "some" folks are. Hell, "some" folks are a running joke in the circuit and don't even know it themselves.
Notice that the same 4 people plus the band members themselves are the only ones hitting up guest books with religious praise. Hell, they might as well get on there and post: "thank sis, thanks mom, thanks dad, thanks ME".
It's all a pathetic, pathetic joke. Anyone with ears and eyes knows better. Ask a musician his opinion, not someone counting "1,2,3,4 turn, kickball change". That's NOT a slam on dancers either, they just don't know any better because they're busy trying to not run each other over.
That's all for now!
I have eyes and ears, and I am still NOT wearing a name tag.
SOT deleted their frontman's post about acting like two year olds, and we all need a time-out.
Looks like Ross put Todd in the corner. LOL

JDH, it was a good idea, no matter how short-lived.

American Idol tonight in Alabama.
I think people ASSUME that because a band isnt double booked on the weekend that they are slipping.. do people understand that these guys have kids/families they want to be with? I mean really the majority have full time jobs besides the band too.. They do have LIVES outside of their gigs.. no one should have to justify theirselves and/or bands to anyone.. my personal opinion is that some people need to grow the hell up!! I mean really!
I hope I didn't imply that these guys don't have families and lives outside of the bands. Just seems to me setting up and breaking down once in a given weekend would be so much nicer and a little less time consuming for the guys.
Nobeer, I hear it ALL the time...the denials about visiting the blog. I just smile and nod. People are so funny and think their lies are actually believed!
no beer its a done deal LOL
for the record my statement was not directed toward anyone here or any ONE BAND lol
Nakked, I only mentioned it IN CASE anyone thought I was implying anything along those lines.
Porter--You dog!
Hey All...it's Idol night.
Got my jammies on. IDOL comfy.
No country tonight that I am aware of...
ACE's should turn on Idol on in the club. I think I'll post that on their guestbook.
I have asked Ernie to be a guest commentator on the Idol thread.
He hates Idol...he could be a votefortheworst.com commentator.
American Idolis going to Alabama.
Mr. Webster and I have a bet on "Sweet Home Alabama". I am hoping to to see clips of Taylor.
I gladly admit...I love Taylor Hicks. Mr Webster and I are planning to see him at the HOB in March. Anyone want to go?
Let me know...there is a dinner package. It could be fun.
January 31, 007
Wednesday Night Country
Black River Band...Blue Moose
Tabloid Twangers...ACE's
Where is Ken?
Would you believe Kitty Wells is still alive!
Oh my God! They killed Kenny!
Hello Websterers(?)
After a month of sitting around, doing nothing, going out to see other people play, and just flat out feeling sorry for myself, I'm happy to say I've finally gotten over myself!
This Friday Backwoods will be at Ace's (with Danny Lawson on guitar) taking back our spot in your hearts! Danny has graciously agreed to fill in til I find a permanent replacement, so on we go!
Thanks for your patience and support while I decompressed!
And YES! I believe Kitty Wells is still alive! REAL Country women are tough!
I agree, Ziggy. Talk about totally pathetic. She has to actually BEG to be allowed to patronize a bar? Says a LOT.
