1988--"Big"
Remember when a stamp cost 29 cents. The Elvis stamp on the front of the blog today was issued in 1992.
I have to admit...the blog has been the last thing on my mind lately.
Lawless should be grateful I have been so distracted. I haven't ragged on them for almost a week.
Speaking of Lawless...they have quietly added a keyboard player.
No big announcement or bulletin telling us all how happy they are to add him to the Lawless family.
Someone should warn the guy...or perhaps he will have a conversation with Jerry Brightman.
BTW: Todd Waites Keyboards, Vocals , Bio Coming Soon!
Maybe...brushed into the Lawless promo picture soon.
Eventually, someone will direct the new guy to the blog.
Here are TWO pointers...
Do NOT upstage Sless.
Do NOT reveal any of your own contacts.

Guitar Needed asap for Working Country Band
posted: June 1, 2008, 11:16 PM
Pro guitar needed asap for working country rock cover band. You will share leads with other guitarist/keyboard player and must be diverse enough to play rhythm one song then take a smoking lead on the next. Vocal ability is a plus, but not required. We are a professional-level group that generally plays 2-6 days a month on weekend nights with bookings through New Years Eve.
We are a great Northeast, Ohio band that loves to have fun on stage and really plays well together. We need a top notch player who knows the signature licks and who can bring a dynamic presence to the group. Must be dedicated and professional with good equipment and good stage experience. We have full PA and soundman as well as practice space. This is a serious band so please, serious inquiries only. Visit www.citybillys.com for band info, song list, and partial schedule.

Good Morning
Check out the pic on the front of the blog today. It's our first Hawaii sunrise, taken from our lanai about 5:15 AM. The sun is about to come up over Diamond Head.
We thought the specs in the water were ducks. The first real wave came...the "ducks" were actually surfers.
The time difference took some getting used to. At first, we would wake up 3:00 in the morning.
The second day we thought a nap before dinner would be a good idea. Unfortunately, we slept through the sunset, dinner, the torch lighting, and the hula girls.
Yeppers...we woke to another breathtaking sunrise.
Live TV was sorta mystifying. The Lakers and Celtics were on in the middle of the afternoon.
We walked by an outdoor sports cafe, and thought the crowd was awfully rambunctious for a "re-broadcast"...turned out it was LIVE.
NOT sure what time Nashville Star was on. Don't think I missed anything...
Trio of thirtysomethings: Third Town, originally from San Antonio, Texas were eliminated on Monday.
Where did you stay? When I was there a couple of years ago we stayed at the Sheraton WaiKiki...beautiful HUGE hotel. Wish I would have had time to venture to some of the less populated areas cuz Waikiki is pretty commercial.
Just the way you described things in a couple of your entries sounded like you might have been a the same place.
The best thing I did while there...swim with the sea turtles!
LAREDO seeks lead guitarist !!
posted: June 19, 2008
Local country top 40 dance band LAREDO is looking for a top notch lead player. Lot's of gigs booked, and many more to come.
This is a great opportuinity (sic) for the right player to join one of the areas top bands. Averaging 100+ dates per year at top clubs and events this position is not for the player that desires to only play twice a month.
If you can't practice, can't learn material quickly, have poor gear and a unreliable vehice (sic)....don't call. If you are looking to do "fill-ins" and need to play with other bands at the same time...don't respond.
If you're a ego maniac and think the world revolves around you... definitely don't respond.
However, if you are ready to step up to the big league, and are a dedicated team player that can nail the parts consistantly (sic), you MAY be the right person for us.
Drop us a note with your information, past history and schedule.
Spell check broken?
As the world turns!

Mr.
We did the catamaran trip as well, but actually got to get off the boat and swim with them....it was amazing!
They could use a grammar lesson for when to us a/an, as well. Arg...the English major in me.

"However, if you are ready to step up to the big league,..."? Can someone please explain what "big league" they're talking about.
Molly...ummm, I don't know what half of these bands are trying to portray.
None of them are big league!!!!
Perhaps all the sober, and ego-free guitarists on this side of the Mason Dixon line would LOVE to see the SOT front-man licking some chick.
Gotta share this concept...Mr. Webster advises ALL men to invest in a GPS.
What I loved about Hawaii...
There are no bugs in Hawaii.
No ants, flies, spiders, mosquitoes, muffle-heads or Canadian soldiers.
Google Mustang Salliz/STREETSBORO or sallys and see where ya ARE DIRECTED.
I THINK WE HAVE BROKEN THE TOP TEN!
We are headed out to TEST the GPS.
Here's what I think...Mr. Webster and I will NEVER argue or question about which way to turn the rest of our lives or lifetime of our GPS. AMEN!
When this GPS dies...I will buy another...OFF Ebay.
6/26
That storm did a number on Amherst!
People and cops everywhere. Trees into houses! Fire trucks blaring by!

Four doors up, a huge tree split in half and landed on a newly renovated home, crashing through the roof and demolishing the front porch. The new owners were supposed to start moving in today.

Cleveland Country Music Diary
Webster's Country Music Diary begins...welcome to all free thinkers.
You and your words are welcome.
Come Blog with Me...ya never know what you might learn about the Cleveland country music scene.
June 30, 2008
Thinking bout a re-cap of the past three blogging years.
Ya know...rehashing.
The Bands that have gone bye-bye.
The BIG and little "L".
The closed clubs.
The COUNTRY nights vaporised.
The GRAND TOUR of Cleveland.
The winners...the LOSERS.
The next level.
The good, the bad, the ugly and JDg.
Thought we were gonna have a throw down @ the Olmsted Falls Gazebo yesterday afternoon with Logan Wells.
I DID post she was gonna be there, but did NOT compare it with Mr. Webster's schedule.
Swamp Boogie Band prevailed with "thee signed contract".
Logan made sure we ALL knew she was expecting 600 fans to be @ the Gazebo for her. YES...that is 600.
Here's what really happened...
Seven, maybe eight people questioned where Logan was.
Six left.
The other 145 folks, boogied, EVEN in the rain, with Mr. Webster/Swamp.
6/30
I found gas for $3.88 today! I can't believe I'm happy about that.
Fantasia is 24 today.

1971 - Ohio ratifies the 26th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, lowering the voting age to 18, thereby putting the amendment into effect.
1953 - The first Chevrolet Corvette rolls off the assembly line.
Making NEW enemies and friends at the same time. LOL!
Ms. Wells will NOT be happy when she gets my response to her bulletin regarding the Gazebo incident.
Her bulletin: We apologize to our fans who showed up at Olmsted Falls community park yesterday to see our show and were disappointed as the park commission rep. double booked the date. I have been told they will reschedule our concert at another time this summer. We will post the new date as soon as it is confirmed. Thank you.
My response: C'mon...tell the truth. You were NOT double booked...you did NOT have a signed contract for the date.
Also...it is doubtful you will get a date this summer, as all the contracts are in. Less than 8 folks inquired about why ya weren't there.
Tony Basirico would like to clear the air...he said good-bye to Laredo.
Guess he wanted me to know he wasn’t aced like his predecessor Frank Dunch.
Looks like he has hooked up with Miss Al and others...Reload. Noticeably...Laredo is NO longer in his TOP friends.
