TAMMIES Cover Band Winner 2007, Runners Up 2006 & 2005, 2008 Finalists
November 16, 2009 - (This was a November Post and it will remain in “Band News” but I wanted our “2 year notice” to be front and center for a bit) It is officially booked so I can say now that our final gig is set! It will be December 31, 2011 at Elks Post 2592 in Green Valley. Chances are we might have a going away party in Tucson as well, but we thought this would be a great place to say goodbye to all our friends in Green Valley. I know there have been different dates bandied about and I wanted everyone to know for sure. It has nothing to do with being burned out, and my desire has always been to go out while people still want to come out and hear us. I’ve been asked what will I do and there will be plenty. Most of you know I am a fly-fisherman so I (and Bob) will take more fishing trips on weekends plus, I have flies to tie and rods to restore. If all goes well, both my daughters will be marching in the Pride for U of A and I plan on seeing every home game. Just so you know, it’s not because we don’t love you, but all things pass and I think we will end on a good note in a friendly setting. So two years to go, let’s make them great ones. Thank you so much, I won’t stop saying it until the final song!
Gilbert Castillo

Thanks for the opportunity to appear on your website. What a treat!
You guys are really First Class, your music, your website, your sincerity.

This message is for Steve. When Khang leaves on vacation, see if
you can pick a weekend and I will give you a smokin’ deal on
a deluxe room, bring your wife and guitar and we will jam on
some good ole rock n roll for an hour or two.
Your website is very impressive and your band photo has a
Pepsodent sparkle about it.
I’m with the Katz N’ Jammer Band, which off and on, have entertained
Tucson/Green Valley for around 24 years.
I would love to hear your offerings.
Later,
Dr John

Hi Gilbert,
Could you please help me find my mother’s (Joyce Foutch) photo that was taken at the American Legion. She would like me to print her a copy, but I am unable to locate it.
Thanks,
Rebecca

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the wonderful tribute to Bob Berry. Annie has seen it, and when she quits crying, she will be back on line to respond. You are all really special to all of the “Green Valley Groupies”, and I for one appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Thanks again,
Nancy

Gilbert, Steve, Bob and Khang,
I can’t thank you enough for your tribute to “my Bobby” … somehow I know that he has seen it and is smiling.
Long before I returned to Green Valley, Bob would tell me stories about “Midlife Crisis” … he loved coming and dancing to your music and he sincerely liked each of you. It was a real highlight when he finally got to “bring me out” to dance to Midlife Crisis when I returned to Arizona. And then, of course, I knew why … the talent each of you bring to the group makes Midlife Crisis an outstanding band to dance and listen to. Add your individual personalities to that mix and you rank #1 in all departments.
We had already marked the calendar and planned on being at the Elks tonight … you’ll never know how badly I wish we could have made just “one more dance”.
Be sure and play “Wicked Games” in the second set, just for Bob and I tonight. I’ll be watching the clock and remembering.
Many thanks,
Annie Berry

3 years ??? 3 ??? Why not round it out to 4 ??? That’s better karma. The moon will be aligned with all the mid planets. Get the connection.
Besides your daughter will need support for 4 years (or more). What ya gonna do, cut her off ??? 4 more years….four more years !!!!!!
