THEE blog MARCHS on...
Readers and "hits" remain steady despite the lack of posting participation.
backpage.com has always been a source of entertainment and speculation.
Bickering about cover VS original bands, and whose genre is authentic. Bogus posts, and band members baiting each other.
Alrighty then...here is NEW one
Lead Guitarist needed for working country band

So like...what happened to ACE's/Mentor website?
Missed it's evaporation into cyberspace hell.
Looks like just about everyone has adjusted their schedules...no Mentor on the Lake to be found.
Mr. Webster reported to me this morning that getting home was a lot more pleasant last night, than Friday night.
It could have been disastrous...given the snow belt's history of "winds aloft" over a pretty much OPEN lake.
Ya know where your band was last night. Skipped through the trades while soaking in the tub this morning.
I am pretty sure all the ACE's went ROCK last night, or even Latin.
Laredo is reporting ACE's/Brooklyn will be "Hall of Famers"....
Maybe...heard there was a former NFL player involved.
Mr. Webster is "in the studio"...with great musicians, talent and friends recording the "mom dances with her son song".
Maybe...I'll put it up on MySpace when it's done.
The second SUPER TUESDAY is coming...I'll be terribly distracted witnessing history being made.
It's gonna be a BLUE Year folks...and will be difficult NOT to gloat.
BTW: CLEAR CHANNEL...ya suck!

Yep. A much more pleasant drive home last night.

Meant to tell ya yesterday... Dwight Yoakam's Guitars, Cadillacs and etc. album was released on March 3, 1986.
I actually owned this album...NOT so sure where it is NOW. I have moved 9 times since 1986.
Anyway...the point for one person is; I have loved country music for 30 years.
Second...I love the song, Guitars and Cadillacs. Mr. Webster knows why.
Moving right along...
Yeppers...TODAY, is the SECOND "Super Tuesday".
NOT so sure, Obama will take Ohio...it would be delightful.
The MySpace bulletin, I sent out on Sunday has generated lots of attention and support from others that think Clear Channel SUCKS!
Even a couple of folks, that are employed by Clear Channel, think the format and information pumped into the airwaves...SUCKS.
3/4
If you don't vote, shut the hell up!
Yes, Mr.Webster knows why.
Patricia Heaton is 50 today.
Chastity Bono is 39.

Good Lord...winter is STILL here. Mr. Webster and I BOTH have a snow, sleet. freezing rain, roads are closed day.

The things you find on the blog when you look around. Some interesting images. Soooo.....I stopped by because I was watching Hilary give his speech last night and oddly enough was wondering how Mrs. Web was responding to that. Isn't funny how you relate everyone to certain things. Hope all is well is the Web's land. I hear your sweet little town is a buried island today.
roadie
How observant ya are?
Noble actions to go with those noble words.
If ya really want to know how I feel about Hilliary...check out the posts on the "LEFT" thread.
Thanks for sharing, Web. You are a class act. I can't figure out right now whose actions are more disrespectful - yours, or my husband's. Glad I could get reeled into your mission of spite and vengeance. From one band wife to another...I guess I expected more from you.
For what it's worth, Todd told me about this picture a long time ago. Granted, it looks worse than it sounded, but anyway...just wanted to thank you for the public ridicule. Did it ever occur to you that while trying to make my husband look like an ass, you would also make me look like a fool? Probably not.
Sometimes people say things without thinking about who it affects. Did it ever occur to you that band members have wives and children. Sometimes it is better to remain silent then to open your mouth without thinking about the way your words may affect others. Maybe its time to crawl back into your glass home and avoid the bucket of rocks next to your computer!

Wow! I thought the blizzard had passed. I guess it's just started.
Hey--How about Dennis? He'll never lose!
Jake Lloyd is 19 today.
Eva Mendes is 34.
Wally Szczerbiak is 31.
Ummm...the noble picture has been up for days, and on and off since the first of the year.
I am sorry Mindi is married to an ass.
She expects more of ME...
silent partner
Sometimes people are photographed doing foolish things without thinking about who it affects.
Ummm...do all the the band men lick boobs for the camera?
BTW...the picture was on the world wide web, long before I got ahold of it.
Thanks for the condolences - extend mine to Tim.
I know where you got the picture. I've been on myspace, too. The point is, YOU are the one drawing attention to and making an issue of it. You've never even met me - why do I deserve to be collateral damage in your vendetta against Todd, Ross, and everything Laredo?
Thank you, silent partner.
Okay...I just can't do it anymore...I am going to burst...BA HA HA HA HA.
Mindi, get over it. In this day and age if you are dumb enough to do ANYTHING and (the key word here is...voluntarily) pose for a picture, you damn well better be prepared to have it put on the net. CUZ EVERYONE IS DOING IT! Jump on the reality bus dear...and...
WHY bring more attention to yourself? I am willing to bet dollars to donuts that there are plenty of people that still log onto this blog and never even saw the picture, but now they are ALL looking!?!? I saw the picture weeks ago and didn't think much of it...now you are just fueling the fire by crying about it ON THE INTERNET. You better toughen up that skin of yours....WORSE things can happen.
(see Web...I can still agree with you :) )
I never disputed the fact that the picture shouldn't exist in the first place. My issue with Mrs Webster is with the exploitation. As you pointed out, without someone drawing attention to it, many would just dismiss it. Mrs Webster has been drawing attention to it since NEW YEARS EVE. It's been over two months, and I'm fed up. If not for me and the kids, this picture would not even be noteworthy. Maybe you don't have kids, nobeer...but you don't mess with the Mama Bear.
At least someone besides Mr and Mrs Webster are posting for the first time in weeks. And that, my friends, was the objective all along.
Exploited, Mrs. Laredo feels exploited by Mrs. Webster. That's a laugh.
Pardon me for intruding. Aren't Mama Bear's kids toddlers or preschoolers?
Are the kids old enough to be computer literate?
How likely is it that the kids would find this blog? I don't get the argument.
Wow. You people are heartless. I made my point. I'm done with you.
3/6
Thank you, Mindi, but I don't need them.
I'd call it a push.
Good luck to all of us who venture out tomorrow night.

THEE blog MARCHS on...
Don't care what Mindi thinks or says.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
She is correct...the image would be inconsequential if it weren't for the mama bear, her cubs, and papa bear pontificating how noble he is. Irony at it's best, if ya ask me.
The feedback is reality...hardly "heartless". Noble Cause had been up for days. Ya had to scroll down and "LOOK" for it.
Generally speaking, I think folks are more sympathetic when ya dish the blame where it belongs.
Nevertheless, the photo is back in the archives.
The other truth proven is...despite what folks say...they still log-on EVERYDAY.
Ummm...forgot to mention, most images are relevant to the blog.
Yesterday, the blog featured CMT.
The Country Music Television (CMT) cable channel debuted on March 6, 1983.
Today, Randy Travis debuted at The Grand Ole Opry in 1985.

Good Lord...the blogger log-on is painfully slow.
Just heard from a fairly reliable source...
Formerly know as ACE's/Brooklyn, know as Hall of Famers to a small group of people, is about to close it's doors.
It's possible, the source has the location confused with Mentor. However, made the point of saying Brooklyn.

We hope all musicians made it home last night. I am thankful saner heads prevailed as to our gig tonight! Stay home, love YOUR woman, and shovel out tomorrow.

Female vocalist needed for working country band and recording projects.
posted: March 8, 2008, 06:11 PM
We are an established performing and Nashville recording country group, based in NE Ohio. We have high visibility bookings in the region through 2008-2009.
We are looking for a singer that can handle the vocal range of a Martina McBride, Sara Evans, Taylor Swift and Gretch Wilson. Other key characteristics include; captivating stage presence, ability to harmonize, and ambition to be the best. Ability to play instrument a plus, but not required.
Please submit information on your profile (video/photos/press kit). This is a great opportunity, for a performer who wants more than just a cover project.
3/9
In like a lion, out like a lamb. YOU HOPE!
Next year we hire somebody to plow! I went over my allotted tonnage of snow shoveled in a lifetime today.
Looking for a girl singer,hmm?
That would improve every Cleveland country band.

It's Tuesday...
Primaries and American Idol
I understand Mr. Webster is a teacher. He must believe it should blizzard in the middle of the week only.
I read the ad for the female singer wanted. Tall order.
Yeppers...Mr. Webster is a teacher and DOES believe the weather should revolve around the school calendar.
Home early... just for a few minutes. Going bridal shower shopping with my mom.
Just "won" my mother of the groom dress on Ebay...I will wear black.
NOT sure who the NE Ohio based, Nashville recording band seeking the female vocalist is?
Folks take a great deal of liberty with the "Nashville recording artist" tag-line.
Technically, I am a Nashville recording artist...it's laughable, but true.

Rio is the real deal and has been a favorite of mine for several years.

A farewell show featuring her full band and special guests, Alexis Antes, Chris DeHass, Brian Bretton, Chris Allen, Chris Hanna and Tim Longfellow.
TONIGHT at the Winchester.
Following the concert, she will pack up her gear and move to Nashville.
She's gonna add "twang" to her repertoire of radio-friendly tracks from her last album "Girls and Airplanes".

Remember "Gone Country"? Methinks she should listen to the song.
FAT FISH BLUE tonight! I love playin' there.
The first day of vacation. Such a feeling!
Are we being witness to the next as yet unnamed Cleveland country band? These guys must be from Michigan. How about FM's for a name.
Matthew Broderick is 46 today.
Rosie O'Donnell is 46.
Eddie Money is 59.
1989 - Sports Illustrated reports allegations tying baseball player Pete Rose to baseball gambling.

Here's what I remember from this morning...

Laredo...Doc's Bar & Grill
These I looked up...
Cedar Creek...Jewel's Dance Hall
Lawless...Slam Jams
Silver Spur...Club Lafayette
Whew...just finished the fifth load of laundry. Still catching up from when I dislocated my shoulder.
Glad I don't have to clean the house for my family. Easter dinner out, after our dessert social, at the senior center.
We will venture out tomorrow night...weather permitting.
It won't be Backwoods...
Fat Boy's is COMPLETELY out of the question.
It won't be the Curtis Brothers...
Red Dog Saloon, that's a road trip
GOD Speed to the Curtis Brothers tonight.
Red Dog is in the boonies...was just there last weekend.
From the wicked wicked west, it was bout 100 miles each way.
ME...love Rio, made a weekend getaway to see him.
Tony says things are going great, he's scoped out Nashville. Made some contacts and impressions with the folks that count...and recorded a new single there.
Might check out Hall of Famers, formerly known as ACE's/Brooklyn.
Ummm...my well placed source is NOT backing off the story about troubles with this location.
If they haven't addressed the bathrooms, then they deserve to go down the toilet.
Mr. Webster is in the window on Ontario tonight. LOL!

In the event, ya only have this thread saved to your "favorites"...there is a new "LEFT" thread.
Be warned...it is VERY political, and I am HYPER passionate.
If by chance, ya are NEW to the blog, ya should go back to the first "LEFT" thread that was started in 2006...it aint for everybody.
I started LEFT threads in an attempt to appease others and put an end to the onslaught of hate/melodramatic email.
My desire for social justice and enthusiasm for politics in general, takes a whopping chunk of my free time.
So much so...I have neglected my blogs, my MySpaces, and the dust under the furniture.
Add a musician husband, a home, a career, a wedding, and American Idol...it's wonder I get anything accomplished.
NEW old drummer for Lawless???
Could it be Danny...good ole, I won't leave ya in the learch dependable Danny??
I am really giggling. I will laugh harder when they get burned again!

Ray was let go...he did NOT walk away.
Gotta ask why...at least I do?
The answer > TOO much testosterone being sprayed all over the place.
Ray contributed a great deal to Lawless, and by all accounts was a decent human being and musician.
I was ALWAYS, ALWAYS told Ray possessed great chops, an awesome voice, and most importantly..."the look".
