Through the bottom of my glass. Tuesday, May 02, 2006. As the stomach churns. Friday and Saturday, April 14th and 15th. Mingo's, Granite City, Il. Hi ho, kids! Yeah, I haven’t blogged much recently. I sat down to analyze why, and some interesting answers struck me as to the reason. Part of it is time management, to be sure. I’m a busy guy, a part time father, and an active social/poker life. Part of it is because of the bittersweet comfort that Rock Bottom has become. Nothing much to share, anyway. I do ...

Through the bottom of my glass. Monday, August 21, 2006. Subject: guitarist Rock Bottom. Saturday, August 19. You might want to read Part I, Friday night’s installment I Like Your Pants Around Your Feet. First, to get the full vibe of this weekend’s tales). Tonight’s adventure started with a much dryer forecast and somewhat cooler as well. With the owner’s gentle suggestion last night, I figured we’d try to fire up a bit earlier tonight. I decided to trek up to. Before hand and grab some dinner alone.

Through the bottom of my glass. Wednesday, May 03, 2006. Take one for the team. Friday and Saturday, April 28. This weekend looked to be quite a hectic schedule for me. And my darling oldest daughter had a softball tournament in. And my darling youngest daughter had a soccer game here in Granite. Game One of the tourney started at 7:45pm on Friday night. I was scheduled to start at 501 at 10ish. I was completely throwing off his rhythm, showing up way, way to early for his tastes. It’s mostly small talk.

Through the bottom of my glass. Wednesday, May 10, 2006. Friday and Saturday nights, May 5. We returned to Mingo’s for our third weekend in six weeks or so. That’s a lot of shows in one place in a short amount of time, but we were very comfortable there. It’s becoming a second home of sorts. Steve and I play cards there on Wednesday’s now, and with all the gigs, we’re becoming regulars, I suppose. Friday night wasn’t much different than any other night. Break one, swap guitars, move on. I broke it toward...

Through the bottom of my glass. Monday, August 14, 2006. Bad to the "Bone". Venue: Ten Pin, Alton, IL. Saturday, August 12th. Well, I’m back kids. Had some fun and sun (and a tropical storm) in Los Cabos,. I was Karaoke King at the resort; that was a hoot! Play That Funky Music was a huge hit in the Baja, I might add. I also had some older woman dancing with me while I sang some Elvis Can’t Help Falling In Love (uh, thank ya, thank ya ver much). Nice job last night! I also spent a week in. I turned 40 in.

Through the bottom of my glass. Wednesday, May 31, 2006. Weekend of May 19. Welcome to another mammoth edition of my weekly (perhaps weakly) diary/blog/whatever the hell this has become. I do receive positive comments about it though, which are much appreciated, so I try to keep up as best I can. Around Metro Computer, we have a saying: Good, Fast, and Cheap. Since you are getting this for virtually free (insert Rush song lyric here), that leaves either Good, or Fast. But if I were, I certainly wouldn’t ...

Through the bottom of my glass. Thursday, July 27, 2006. Better make that Quaker State. Checking in with more buffoonery. Subject: Guitarist - Rock Bottom. Venue: 501 Front Street, Alton, IL. Well, kids, it’s been a while since I’ve put pen to paper for your amusement, hasn’t it? Not pen to paper per se, as this is all done through the wonders of modern technology, Microsoft Word, and a spell checker second to none. I never really did write much manually , never been my style. Some kind of frustrating.

Through the bottom of my glass. Tuesday, February 21, 2006. On the Road, in search of peace, healing, contentment, and hash browns. Come along for the ride. Saturday, February 18th. I received a last minute call from my daughter’s softball coach that they were to practice at an indoor facility in. Now, I love watching my daughter’s softball skill develop, and she’s doing so very well. So, I arranged so I could attend that, then travel from. To Roodhouse to the show. Of course, this was across small town.

Through the bottom of my glass. Thursday, June 01, 2006. Our Lady Of The Waters. Friday, May 26. Friday night had us at a new place, sort of out in the boondocks, but yet also close to our stomping grounds. Portage Des Sioux is roughly between. On Missouri Highway 94, but if you aren’t going there, there’s no reason to go there. I remarked that if this bar were on the other side of the river, along the. It would be a gold mine, much like the Loading Dock in Grafton. First, lets talk about the drive.
