Wolf’s Den
I have to give a lot of credit to the Wolf’s Den for advertising the band. It wasn’t the turnout they’d hoped for, but the owner was happy with the night. We were treated well and had a good time. There were a number of people that stayed the whole night, and the turnover was steady. All said, it was a nice place to play and I hope they have us back. I really debated to bring this subject up, but I’ve heard rumors that I’ve been accused on this site of badmouthing the Countryside, which could not be further from the truth – if you read the posts. Here it is again: it’s just business. The Countryside wants a certain format from the bands, and it doesn’t suit us. Rich runs the bar the way he thinks works best and I respect him for knowing what he wants – it’s just not our format. The Back Bar books hard rock bands and we don’t play there either. It really bothered me to be accused of playing dirty – not my character or my style. ‘Nuff said. We’re off this weekend and then it’s a return to the Rock County Fair, which is always a good time. I’m still doing pushups and plan on visiting the National Guard booth for the 5th year in a row. I have three t-shirts and a football to show for my efforts, but the real reason is my deep respect for the military. We have some new songs in the hopper which I hope we’ll get on the list soon – I had to stop practicing to take time to write this! Holly and I went to see REO Speedwagon at the Waukesha County fair last night and they were great – even played “Son of a Poor Man.” Yes I’ll admit that I secretly wanted to audition after Gary Richrath left. Anyway, thanks to all who stopped out to the Wolf’s Den, and we’ll see you at the fair!
