Eddie’s – May 12, 2012

Mid Life Crisis — Tue, 15 May 2012 16:01:36 +0000

Thanks to our friends in Green Valley (who made a surprise visit), Lee +Sahuaro Alums & my State Farm friends along with the regulars we had what was arguably our best night at Eddies. Fantastic energy and the floor was full all night. I’m hopeful that we’ll get to play one more in this building on June 30, but if not what a way to go! Joyce & Betty, thanks for getting the ball rolling and I have to mention the out of state visitors – Darlene from Massachusetts and Ernest & Anita Valdez, my in-laws from San Antonio, Texas.

Sonshine Pre-School – April 27, 2012

Mid Life Crisis — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 04:47:37 +0000

Back where it all began so many years ago. We are always happy to play this benefit for the Pre-School since they asked us to play sight unseen when we first started. As usual, the wind was blowing, but nothing seasoned pros like us couldn’t handle. The kids were shy at first, but as you can tell by the blurry pictures, they got moving.

Eddie’s, Tucson – April 14, 2012

Mid Life Crisis — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 00:06:48 +0000

Sorry, sorry – I didn’t check to see if the camera’s battery pack was charged so we are without photos. We had a good crowd, thanks to all the family & friends that made it out. A shout-out to Liz and John Denbo for making the trip from the west side! See you in May!

Elks #2592, GV – March 31, 2012

Mid Life Crisis — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 20:25:04 +0000

Oh what a night! Had our second door-busting crowd in as many nights and some of our repeat friends from Friday night had us sneak in a couple of rockers. I know we are having a generational shift in GV and I know a few people don’t like the louder rock, but just look around at who is dancing. As always we will try to keep a bit for everyone. I’m not sure how things will shake out for future gigs here, but keep checking the Lodge calendar and our schedule page!

19th Hole Bar & Grill (GV) – March 30, 2012

Mid Life Crisis — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 19:00:05 +0000

Oh, it was a rocking night at the 19th Hole last night. Always a good mix of regulars and newbies and we get to trot out the songs are too “loud” for our regular venues in Green Valley. The first 2 sets were nice and packed and we had good number stay for the last set as well. Thanks to Greg for having us out these last 3 months, here’s hoping the late night action keeps going!

Sonora del Webb – Bye, Bye Birdies – March 11, 2012

Mid Life Crisis — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 18:26:40 +0000

Hi there! I forgot my camera (maybe Bob will get a picture or two to me later) but I wanted to thank Lorel for asking us out one more time. It took a while to build up the energy, but … Continue reading →

Desert Trails RV Park – March 10, 2012

Mid Life Crisis — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 18:57:13 +0000

We overcame the grief of the Wildcats falling short in the PAC 12 Title Game by partying with crazies in SW Tucson. We had grea energy from the first song and we had the crowd singing along most of the night. Unlike many of our gigs, we had almost no drop off in the crowd for the 3rd set. We thank Pericles for having us out again and we thank the good people for making us feel so welcome. John Ankiewicz (who filled in for Khang) was suitably impressed.

Eddie’s – March 3, 2012

Mid Life Crisis — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 23:43:30 +0000

What was it my fellow loveable loser Charlie Brown once said? “Thus endeth the streak”. How bad was it? Well, 3 of our wives were almost 20% of the audience at the end. I felt so bad for Eddie and for Heidi & Katherine who surely didn’t put much of a dent in their monthly bills with tips Saturday night. I want to thank Lauri & Steve & the Lindas and the wives for making sure the place was not empty at the end. See you April 14th (maybe).

American Legion Post 66 – March 2, 2012

Mid Life Crisis — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 18:56:08 +0000

March came in like a lion for us. A nice, bouncy crowd showed up and a good mixture of regular and new friends. We continue to mix up the set list and sprinkle in a couple of new songs here and there. Despite what Steve & Bob say, one of those new songs is not long for this world. Here’s hoping Linda remembers us if she ventures to Vegas and never returns. Here’s hoping the Legion doesn’t forget us as we don’t return until June 8th!

Elks Lodge 2592 – February 25, 2012

Mid Life Crisis — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 21:27:49 +0000

What great finish to a fine run of 3 gigs. A packed house full of energy capped off what may have been our best 3 day run ever. Rather than being tired, we were all surprised by how quickly the night went. Of course it helps when the ever evanescent Lori visits from California and even better when she brings a bevy of beauties with her. Barb & her fellow dancers kept things lively for us as well. We got to sing birthday wishes for Joe & John – while on the J’s Jan (another drink wouldn’t hurt) & Joe were there along with so many of our friends. I don’t know if we can recapture one like this again, but we look forward to March 31. Wow, so many pictures!
