In between flat tires...that was a pretty good weekend. Those Monkey Boys did a pretty good job of helping me forget the three hours I waited on the side of SH171 just west of Hubbard. Note to self..no matter how much you get the urge..when on your scooter stay off the shoulder... Yeah well sometimes you just have to sit and endure the pain and discomfort...hmmmm that statement should be incorporated into the standard wedding vows. Anyway...many thanks to Me And My Monkey for making Friday so memorable I barely remember the six hour virus in the middle of my trek to the Metroplex. I do want to give partial credit to the Mich Ultra and the blond number perched next to me at the bar...oh they helped as well....What band??
Remember I said tires... I was still feeling the effects of some of the best blues around when I discovered that my truck..bless it's old heart..had a less that fluffy front paw/tire when I returned to Waco. Thank good ness for Jason Elmore and Hoo Doo Witch for assuaging my grief from that little find...this is the 21st century...why do we still have pneumatic tires?? What happened to the jet cars those Jetson folks had?? Ok where was I...oh yeah Jason...that Cat can flat bring it..and let me make this little announcement right now...I will remind you...this coming New Years Eve...Jason Elmore...Oliver White...both..we have them both for what will most certainly be the Blues Event of 2010 and 2011...North North Texas invades North Central Texas....this will be something to remember...Tickets go on sale December 1st..I will remind you..some one remind me...
OK now this weekend....The Fabulous Fender Benders take the stage Friday night..Fender Heads Unite!!! I would really like to see a return of this once mighty army of followers...c'mon Fender Heads...it's time!!
Saturday..some band named Coldrake ...I may have heard of them before...oh wait..yeah now I remember..this is that band that plays all the hugely kick arse rock & roll...ohhhh yeahhhh Now I remember..and they seem to have a following of a fair to middlin quantity of single ladies.... And...they have a real Engineer in the band so if an oil spill erupts out in the parking lot...he can get the train started really fast and get us out of there... Small cover Satruday...arrive early.
One sort of sad note...our wonderful sister and fellow Stumpian Miss Gina lost her dad this week. We thought about flowers or plant or something but Miss Anna came up with a much better idea...we are going to keep a jar up front for everyone to maybe place a little something in it to help with some of the smaller funeral costs etc...A memorial to a good man that gave us his wonderful daughter to be our friend and fellow Stumpian... (over look the fact that she completely rejected me and my advances years ago...) We love you Gina.
In Two weeks....be ready...A Higgins is coming armed with a double barreled Leah and an automatic FUNN TEXAS. This invasion is turning into a Big Wampum with an army led by Kitten's Krew. There will be photo shoot aimed at saving breasts for all mankind to revel in..or motor boat..which ever you prefer. Saturday May 22nd...just Be ready...Beware..and Be at Stumpy's.
About two o'clock Friday afternoon ..while I was sitting on my scooter...the one with the flat tire..I realized that no matter how long it took at some point I would be back in my spot...cold Mich in hand. Help was on the way...I live in America. Veterans like Gina's dad who just passed sacrificed a lot for us to have this home...the Men and Women who wear Americas Military uniforms and put themselves in harms way...sacrifice a lot for us to have this home.. Say a prayer for them...no sacrifice needed...just a little visit with God..take the time.
(I may not be in the house this weekend)

stumpys update
I truly hate to sound corny...my good friend and older, wiser confidant Sandy tells me I am a real dork..did you notice that I said older? Anyway at the risk of sounding corny or dorky or nerdy ..let me just say this...the new band Gina brought us Friday..Outta The Blue ..well they really did a great job and it was a truly terrific surprise...it's like they came ..(are you ready for this??)...yep..right out of the blue...I know that was really bad and I apologize but it had to be done... Nice gig dudes...
Saturday THE ZEW rocked us!! I would say something like all the animals felt uncaged and free but that would just prolong this agonizing search for something to say ...soooo I will just go with..that was fun...they will be back as will Outta The Blue..Really nice weekend Stumpians..thanks.
OK now this coming weekend prepare to be entertained...Friday Night it is back to the 60's...dig out your old Beatle Boots(I had some)..get out that tattered old Beatles Wig( I had one)..dust off your Nehru Jacket..( I was not that dorky Sandy...I did not have one of those)..do what ever it takes to get ready for Me And My Monkey...I looove this band...like I say every time..I know all the words to all the songs. Beatle Tribute time Stumpians....Friday Night...Me And My Monkey:Tribute to The Fab Four.
Saturday Night...Birthday Parties Abound..Sam, Nikki, RahRah and Amy ...I am throwing in a special word for my Friend Lei Lei in Chi-Town..I rudely left mention of her Birthday out last week..how dare I...well I am old..I do forget..( I Iove that excuse) ...Anyway back to the parties...might I suggest we all take time to take naps Saturday afternoon because Saturday night you are going to want to remain alert...this may get interesting...on top of all that...Jason Elmore and Hoo Doo Witch will be on stage...and it is their CD Release Party!! This is Jason Stumpians!!!
If I may repeat myself...I will put our entertainment line up against any other venue in the Metroplex...Friday Night..The Fab Faux Four:Me And My Monkey ...Saturday night...The Incredibly talented Jason Elmore and Hoo Doo Witch CD Release Party....(FYI just signed for July .American Idol Third Runner Up, Nikki McKibbin)
I can't let this go with out making some mention...I caught the Reverend Al Sharpton on one of the Talking Heads Sunday morning "News" shows... He was expounding his views on this Arizona Immigration mess..and racism..his favorite subject... Just a couple of observations...one is ..if Al is a Reverend ..why was he not in church somewhere preaching instead of spewing his racist filth on national TV?? He made this statement...and you may look it up because shockingly it is true..I heard it..."Probably not all Republicans are Racists..but all Racists are probably Republicans." My other observation is this ..Al Sharpton is an idiot who continues to suck off the poor uneducated people he caters too.
When I was attending Eastern Hills Elementary School we stood up and Pledged Allegiance the The Flag every school day...we also listened to a morning Prayer every day from the Principal Mr Freeman. By today's standards we were just awful...when did we get so smart and sophisticated as to realize the wickedness of our ways?? That must be the reason I ask for everyone to say a prayer for our servicemen every week...bad habits just seem to hang on and on and on...Hit your knees Stumpians..remember our heroes in Prayer.

stumpys update
"I am not really available." Not exactly the phrase a single man wants to hear at 1:30AM...you know right around closing time. About that time most single available dudes would be waiting to hear..."my place or yours" ...or ..."...let's get a room" ... or perhaps... " I have never seen the upstairs at Stumpy's" Seriously just about anything other than.."I am not really available." Once again friends and neighbors...my virtue remains intact. But..it did give me some fodder for our weekly visit ..which I apologize for being so late with. I was thinking about late night phrases we just never want to her. So here we go with the top Five Phrases No One Wants to hear at 2AM..or there abouts.
Number Five...."Have you got the keys".
Number Four... "I am pretty sure I gave the keys to you."
Number three.. "Nice to meet you..don't you think cross dressing is fun!!"
NUmber two.. "Is my make-up still covering that nasty sore on my mouth?"
and the Number one Phrase No One wants to hear at 2AM ..."Put your hands behind your back." (that one is however conditional.)
Oh well...it was late..I was tired...and pretty well danced out....whew...It was the bop bop bop best time I'd had in Stumpy's in a good long while...Velvet Love Box is just terrific. Their uniqueness of sound seemed to dull the pain and anguish of the availability problem...juuuust kidding...nothing short of Bicardi 101 could do that...oh hush.
Saturday...my band..the one I always refer to as Owners Choice...The Incredible Nosmo Kings... It was not the largest crowd in town but it was the most well entertained crowd in town. With the exception of one small window or time ..this past weekend was top five folks...
OK now this weekend...Miss Gina has brought us a new band...you remember Gina... she is on the list of rejecters ..Anyway..new band....Out Of The Blue ...this ought to be fun...and that is Friday night..NO COVER ....Saturday night...probably the best new rock band of 2010...so far anyway...THE ZEW.. there is a small cover after 9PM...arrive early Stumpians.
I want to wish a special Happy Birthday to my wonderful friend Diann....she is turning 37...wow..I have open heart wounds that old...I have festering love bites that age...I have a string of rejections that go back that far..and further..but this is not about me this is about Miss Diann,,Happy Birthday ma'am...
I also want to say a special thanks to a guy that really never needs or expects to be thanked...Rick South. Rick will admittedly drive you nuts on occasion but one would be hard pressed to find a better man or friend or Stumpian.
The extra miles he goes out of his way to help, stretch from here to deep into the hearts of everyone he hangs around... You're a good man Charlie Brown.
Please remember to keep our brave American Heroes in uniform in your prayers.
Peace/Victory

stumpys update
God was with Laura, Sharon and Bubba this weekend. Laura hydroplaned on the wet roads and wrecked her truck...she is ok. Sharon and Bubba were hit on his scooter Friday night..his scooter is toast but they are both ok...minor bumps and scrapes. These are three Stumpians we all love and I sure thank God for watching our family. There is another person I pray God watches. Someone decided Sunday morning that they needed the money we had in our safe more than we did. Yep...this person broke in and decided..on their own..that they deserved the cash we had secured in our safe more than we did. Now God...I pray you will watch over this person because this person has a problem. I do not want any harm to come to them but if this person is bent on being a thief...well one time they are going to be in the wrong place and they are going to get hurt...so watch after this person...send them some sign to show this person just how wrong they were for stealing our money..and maybe they will bring it back...but if not....just watch this person God...this person needs a lot of help. Oh and God..thanks for the lesson..we will not keep money there any longer...Oh yeah one more thing...the police gathered some evidence and we think we may know who it is...
PS..God...teach me and everyone else to love those that harm us.
Oh well..turn the page....hey thanks to you Stumpians out there ..we can absorb the loss. thanks to Tornado Alley...we can absorb the loss...Thanks to Clear Fork..we can absorb the loss...that was a killer weekend. We had an awful lot of fun..I saw a lot of smiling faces...the girls behind the bar made money for their families...I paid some taxes...Scott did well...With one exception I would say that weekend was definitely top five...maybe top three. I just cannot say enough about all the guys in Tornado Alley and all those Tornado Alley fans...it truly was like old times...ok everyone in unison...WE WANT YOU TO COME BACK!!!!! ...Ditto goes for Clear Fork. The nicest young men ...and their ladies...wow....hot hot hot...once again...WE WANT YOU BACK!!! I had a great time....I even got to spend some quality time with my BFFF Diann...and no one was Skirty...well breaking in and stealing or cash was pretty Skirty but...I will not let that get me down...period.
OK this weekend....another weekend where I dare any other Live Music Venue to try and match what we Stumpians have...Friday night...The totally unique sounds of Velvet Love Box ..I do mean unique...best sound three guys can make sitting down...read into that what ever you want...oh yeah hang around because on Saturday night we have The incredible Nosmo Kings...perhaps the best sound three guys can make standing up...once again...form your own interpretation. Six different young men on our stage this weekend..two distinct sounds...one helluva Live Music Venue....and it is all yours Stumpians...there is a cover on Friday night...arrive early.
There are lessons to be learned in just about everything that happens to us...some more expensive than others...but that is the way it goes. I refuse to hate. I thank you Stumpians for a lot of that...with all the love we have as a family there is simply no room in my heart for any hate.
Show some of that Stumpian love to our hero defenders of LIBERTY. Pray and ask God to protect them and to just let them know we are out here supporting them.
Peace/Victory

Whew...this past weekend was slooooooow. That's ok this coming weekend will make up for a lot of slow nights. In their last scheduled performance of 2010....Tornado Alley is on our stage Friday night. I think this is a big deal...I am a Tornado Alley fan. Get there early. Stumpy's will fill up with faded and somewhat tattered Tornado Alley vintage T-Shirts ...that is a guaranty. Also to entice the best ..you have to pay so there is a cover charge and we are going to move up the time we take it as well....8:30 instead of 9:00. After 8:30 the cover kicks in at 5.00 bucks a head. So...Tornadians and Stumpians one and all....just arrive before 8:30...hey come sit outside in our new expanded seating area patio...the weather is perfect.
BTW...if the person that picked up my back rest from behind the fence last Saturday night is reading this...return it ..please!! I was not throwing it away...I just set it there and intended to pick it back up Sunday morning but it was gone...sooooo ..I need it back if you have it...thanks.
OK lets continue with this coming weekend...as busy as it is going to be Friday..Saturday is not going to be any different...Miss Jo Jo and friends are bringing in what they call STUMPY'S II Reunion....Thus the newly expanded seating area outside...add to their numbers the fact that the band Saturday is Clear Fork...this is the Chick Magnet Band of the Century!! We do not get that many shots at getting them in the house but when we do.....wooo hooo..the Single Female count goes waaaaaaay up...Guys..take note of this... Oh yeah...no cover Saturday night.
What a great up coming weekend!! The return of Tornado Alley...the return of Clear Fork...now if we can get the Bad Girls to Return......Jen......Maji .....Amy...you are soooo invited back ladies...Sandork..U2!! While I am at it....uhhhh A Girl......C Babe...Leahhhh....Kat..Lou...(WTF?? another Louless weekend!!) Ladies...you need to join the Clear Fork Nation...
Proof that Men Have Better Friends... Friendship among Women: A woman didn't come home one night. The next morning she told her husband that she had slept over at a friend's house. The man called his wife's 10 best friends. None of them knew anything about it. Friendship among Men: A man didn't come home one night. The next morning he told his wife that he had slept over at a friend's house. The woman called her husband's 10 best friends. Eight confirmed that he had slept over, and two said he was still there.
One more thing...get out there and ride!!! The Blue Bonnets and Indian Paint Brushes are in full bloom....WE live in a beautiful state. My ride up through Central Texas last Friday was beyond perfect...
So Diann...do not be Skirty...get ur bike out!!!!!
Pray for our Troops...good for them...good for you..

Well I was just about to end this day on a high note when I went to our FaceBook page and saw something I hate to see...and it happens from time to time...Apparently there are folks out there that think Johnny Nitzinger is scheduled to be at Stumpy's this weekend...well he is not. I never got a confirmation on that date and so I booked a different band, I hate that because I am a huge Nitzinger fan...but. Bobbie Mac is filling that spot and sine he has been moved twice before I am not moving him again...so there...sorry Nitz Fans...but I never got that confirmation.
OK...this past weekend...Number one..it was windy. Number two it was really windy...Number three...did you get out in that wind?? I rode up Thursday to avoid the rain...and the wind just about beat me to death. I had an extra day here but I needed it to simply to adjust my equilibrium. It felt like I was in a ...ahem...Tornado. Speaking of Tornados...we have a real treat coming up boys and girls. When we opened up what I like to refer to as Lower Division Stumpy's Blues Bar on 11/6/2004, the only band I could even imagine breaking the seal on our stage was...Tornado Alley. I mean...Jeff and I have owned Stumpy's for nearly ten years now and we have seen a lot of bands come and go...who could ever forget the uniqueness of Smart Like Einstein..or the smooth sounds of Robin Banks...the hard greatness of Brian Atlas..(that Nancy Atlas could sing!!)...and then there was the incredible voice of Kevin Terry and Tornado Alley. Well SLE is gone...Robin..last time I heard she was in Jamaica mon..she has been back but did not call us..Brian and Nancy live in Arkansas...I did not mention Holland K ..he has his own set of problems now) but always there was Tornado Alley...until they decided to ...take a break..a too long extended break.. Well Stumpians...Tornadoians..they are coming back...4/16/2010 Kevin et al will be on our stage...and it is gonna be great!!!
This past weekend I have to say Maurio Marcus really did one helluva job. The added keyboard mad it just awesome...you have to know by now just how I feel about a keyboard in the band...yeah yeah yeah I have heard that in Texas you have to have a Fiddle yada yada yada...but there on lower division if you wanna get the owners attention ..you got to have a keyboard in the band.
Saturday....Second Hand Soul had the dubious task of handling the Saturday before Easter Crowd....small as it was...we had a great time...SHS will be back..I owe it to them ...who check the calendar..and why do they keep moving Easter...pick a date and stay with it I say.
This weekend....Friday night...A very special happening Stumpians... Johnnie Red and The Roosters are having a CD Release Party in our house. I have a copy of the CD and for blues lovers out there...you got to get Johnnie Reds CD...it is one of the best I have heard in a while.
The Saturday night...it is not Nitzinger...it is Bobbie Mac and Souther Crossroads...finally. I had to cancel Bobbie this winter on one of our more snowy icy nights..this is his make up gig...So....let's make it up to him kids...be there...and once again my apologies to Johnnie Nitzinger...but I never got that confirmation ..it is a must. We have bands crawling out of the woodwork wanting to get on our stage. That's the name of that tune.
OK..that's all I have today...Please take time out of your day to pray for our LIBERTY defending heroes over seas.
Peace/Victory

Oliver reminded us why we love him..The ZEW reminded us why the are in the running for Best New Band of 2010...and the beautiful weather reminded me why I got my first motorcycle license in March 1964...do the math..that was 46 years ago.....egad. My stinkin back is reminding me today why it is I am instructing Mr Scott to find us some one that will show up on weekend mornings to do some light work...my head reminded me on Saturday morning why it is we stop ( or should ) at a dozen or so shots... and last but certainly not least...I was reminded in a very hard lesson that the men in the blue suits whose job it is to hide things are hard at work and never seem to let up...its a long story that only the late great Rod Serling of the Twilight Zone could tell so well...Stephen King had the right idea with the Langoliers...but not the same...BTW I found my keys...yesssssss
Ok well let me remind you of this.... This weekend at Stumpy's when you drive into the our beautiful new parking lot...notice the sign..it says Blues Bar on it...this weekend we are Thee Blues Bar...Maurio Marcus is a blues man...he is on our stage Friday night...oh yeah that reminds me...The Cantu's will be in da house...yeah baby..hey Kat...uhhh grab the D man and come see us too..

I may be too depressed to write today. Circumstances, Reality, Deception, Avoidance, Smoke & Mirrors, Double Talk, Testicle Challengedness, and just Pure Fanciful Thought... I get a little tired. I get a little damn tired of doing what I honestly think it the right thing..only to find out that it must have been wrong because of the reactions I receive...I mean reasonable rational adults just do not act that way. Dishonest disturbed adolescents..yes...men with hair....no. Tick Tick Tick...my patience wear-eth thin.
Do not even ask..it will get you no where.
Another in a line of new bands came in and blew us away Friday night!!...The Pontiax....nice gig. I did not hear one single complaint..of course in my current frame of mind I might not have been listening..but..I think I would have picked up on a complaint about the band. I liked them...I am going to book them again..if there is an again....oooo hush of course there will be. I am just sort of disgusted right now...probably the best thing for me to do is to stay away for a while. But I ain't gonna do that. At least not this Friday.
Nice segway Woody...
Friday night...March 26th....2009 Winner of the Stumpee for The Best Original Blues Player On Lower Division.....THE OLIVER WHITE GROUP..featuring...duh...Oliver White. This guy is more that just (as Kaysi put's it) Eye Candy..Oliver is a terrific talent and for one I can't wait to hear him again. I am making this a Stumpian Must Attend Event....
Saturday Night....The Zew...this is their third time in and if it is like the other two...arrive early. This is classic rock like it should be...hot hot hot...I will be in the house this Saturday...my apologies to Just N Tyme for being absent this Saturday past...I had biddness to do and cobwebs to clear out...I did not nearly get all the time away I needed...sorry its a fact of life..sort of like relationship problems...
Another nice segway...wow I am good at something anyway...
My grandpa had a little ranch south of Houston that I have fond memories of. Out in the front yard there was always an odd combination of animals hanging out...two of my favorites were a couple of lop eared hounds...Deanna and Reeve...they were not like a solid couple but they seemed to be matched real well. I mean they could be apart but you always figured if you saw one sooner or later you would see the other and then after a round routine ass sniffing..off they would go together...or maybe they would just hang in the yard together with the rest of the menagerie. Well..one day Reeve was feeling a little off...he was more interested in maybe just some alone time and when Deanna went to give his ass a sniff...whoa...Reeve snapped at her a good one. I mean he let her know that he was not a happy old dog. It might not have meant so much but he barked at her right there in the yard in front of all the other animals. Deanna was mad...Reeve was mad...and this marvelously matched pair of hound dogs...went their separate ways. Long story short...in time Reeve one day wandered into the yard and without thinking ..took a sniff of Deanna's ass...She then sniffed Reeve's and 30 seconds later...neither remembered anything accept the other. The key words there are...WITHOUT THINKING...Deanna and Reeve were dogs...the ass sniffing was more important than the hurt feelings...too bad we stupid humans can't be the same way....Hey...Forget the Riff, Take a Sniff.

stumpys update
I am officially getting old and forgetful....When I left town Sunday I forgot some paper work I should have brought back with me..I forgot my shaving kit...this morning I forgot my lunch...and last night when I remembered where I lived...as I started to go over in my mind all that I had forgotten....I realized I had forgotten to compose and send out the update....doooiiiiingggg!!! Alrighty then...hey I hate to admit this but last week when I got into town I noticed that my boots did not match..that's a bad one...and people wonder why I am single...HA!!!. However..I am thinking that maybe that is the key...perhaps single at this advanced age is not the best way to roll. Maybe...just maybe...a partner...a wife...a GF...seeing eye dog...something, or someone to give me just the right amount of assistance to make it from point A to point B. It's a thought..applications will be taken @Stumpy's...five barstools down from the left. References not required...Longing Looks filled with desire appreciated.
OK....hey that was a nice weekend Stumpians..from what I remember. Let's start with Ball and Chain...Fridays entertainment...not bad....not bad at all. They were not as smooth as they will be after a few more gigs but they have a world of talent. From what I understand this was their first gig in a while. It showed at times...but...the next time they are at Stumpy's...and there will be a next time...they will be on their way to becoming one of our regulars...great gig...fun band....I liked them...oh yeah nice crowd of followers(that is the most important part..) Now Saturday .....
Jason Elmore and Hoo Doo Witch... Qamazing...it's my word to describe terrific events that are beyond all normal accolades. Qamazing!!!(I have to give SJ some credit for that word)...That really was a heck of good night...Great Party..thanks Weezy, Julie B, Diane, Nay Nay, and every one else that anything to do with that. Some nights you get it right...I got it right when I called Jason to play for us that night. At least I did not forget to do that... Jason will be back with us on May the 8th to host his CD Release Party. We need to all be there to thank him for choosing our home to release what I am certain is going to be a monster CD. Hey in an indication of just how huge that night was...The BAD GIRLS were the all night long!!! Woooo Hooooo!!!!!!
Psssssst..I am going to be out of town this weekend..I mean as in away from Stumpy's. I will be there for a while Friday but Saturday....ziiiip..I am gone...I have bizzzz to take care of. (bizz of the monkey variety.)
However....Gina will beholding court on my behalf. She will be in charge of all irrational behavior and any or all incomprehensible mumbo jumbo. Its a good thing ....Friday night it is her and her insignificant other's(Steve/Bob) band...this is their guy..or is it non guy...(with those two I can never tell...PS..Steve/Bob is my hero/bob...he gets away with everything and still gets the girl in the end...well maybe not the end...yada yada yada)...back to the band....Scott Copeland is in the house....He is already been nominated for a Stumpee in the Best new Band category. Saturday...our PSEUDO HOUSE BAND...Just N Tyme...these guys are like Miller Draft and a Shot...always smooth with a kick. NO COVERS EITHER NIGHT!!!
Miss me on Saturday please...
Apparently I need to make a small point. Stumpy's is our home. I want everyone to understand that the one thing on this planet I love more than anything else is have a chance to play the host and do everything I can to see to it there are a lot of smiles filling the house...but just like any home, Stumpy's is a business. We have to do certain things to assure that we will be there for a long time to come....and that is all I am going to say on that subject.
Please say a prayer every time you look around and see all the absence of suicide bombers, IED's, and unshaven, bad breathed, poor hair-cutted terrorists intent on killing you. Say that prayer for the uniformed men and women in the middle east protecting YOUR LIBERTIES!!!

stumpys update
I have never been one to tell a person, or persons, what to do.(unless I was signing their paycheck then hell to the yeah!!)...I have never been one to use my rather captivating charm to strongly influence a person, or persons to do what I might suggest(unless it was single lady whose charms were more that any man could resist or she was breathing and available..and then..hell to the yeah!!)...and I was never one to pout, hold my breath, or throw a fit to get someone to do my bidding(that is unless there was pie involved..then hell to the yeah!!) BUT.....I am considering using all and any of my powers to get all those within the sound of my voice or within the sight of these words...to make their way to Stumpy's this Saturday Night...Jason Elmore and Hoo Doo Witch are in the house. Do you realize just how good this dude is?? Have I ever steered you wrong...intentionally..lately...or that you can prove?? Here's the deal....if you come and you do not think Jason is every thing I say he is and more..I will look you right in the eye and admit I was wrong...and that is something three different Mrs Woodruffs were never able to do..and I was sleeping with them..almost exclusively.

OK....so much for February. On to March....and that means Springtime cannot be far away...THANK GOD!!!!....I am sick of cold wet/frozen precipitation. I am sick of not being on two wheels....I am not that hard core...ok I'm a wuss. I am sick and tired...of being sick and tired. No more colds...No more coughs...no more teacher's dirty looks...oh wait ..wrong prose. ..but I have to figure you catch my drift...Come On Spring!!! Come on Daylight Savings Time!! Come on Jason Elmore...Come on Oliver White...just looking at the musical line up for March has me....well you know...just sayin... March starts off with the Blues...and ends in The ZEW. In the middle we have everything from a touch of Heavy Metal to Classic Rock to the Best Original Blues you will hear any where in five counties....and all this with out one single solitary irritating no good piece of crap...cover charge. I hate cover charges. I hate taking a cover charge...but sometimes..it is a necessary evil....just not in March 2010 at Stumpy's Blues Bar. Donations are of course welcomed.....yeah right.
This Friday....Mr Howard Starling...Howard is a blues man. Howard is the blues baby. Last time...he had his best crowd ever. Let's beat that. I know the folks that were there last month will want to see him again...I bet they bring their friends....NO COVER!!!!!
Saturday.....The Room Shakers....we all know how good they are...Monty et al will be onstage at 9:30...I will be in the crowd before that..I want a good seat.
Big time thanks to Dolly Dagger and Coldrake....great gigs this past weekend dudes!!.
Tomorrow is Primary Election Day in Texas....it is also Texas Independence Day...it is also the last day we have to endure all the insane political attack ads....good Lord....if you believe what you hear Rick Perry may or may not be a bit of a gurly mon who lives in a 10,000.00 per month house and gets pedicures...Kay Bailey may or may not be the second coming of Nancy Pelosi ( there is not anyone on this planet or the next I could say that about...sheeesh)... This poor Medina woman is a nut ball that may or may not believe we knocked down the Twin Towers ourselves..... Bill White is an idiot...and Farouk Shami...well no need to attack him ...he has "that" name...(sort of like Obama yo Mama). Personally I am sick of it. I just wrote in a friend's name. I liked her Chicken in every Pot philosophy ...."Fire in the fireplace...Daddy on the sofa....Doggie under each arm...and Mich Ultra on ice." Sounds good to me.
Congratulations to Louann...she got her new LV!!!!!...whew...that was touch and go...
Remember to say a fervent prayer for our Hero Defenders of LIBERTY...They so need His protection.

I have no idea if it was the Nehru Jackets, the Beatle wigs or my bumbling presence on the dance floor...but..that was one of the best Me And My Monkey gigs I have heard...and I have heard a few. Lets say this...I remember the first time I heard the Fab FauX Four play there on Lower Division...the anticipation alone made it great...well last Friday it was almost like hearing them for the first time...it was just that good..they were just that good. The crowd was right. The selection of tunes was righteous. The wigs were out of sight. The jackets were smooth....and the only reason I was on the dance floor was because my dance partner was neat...bitchin...cool...right on... boss...and anything else 60's I can think of that says..1951 babies rule!!....lol. I had a great time...my back and knees are still aching. But daddio I crossed that room and my heart absolutely went boom..lol. Me And My Monkey will be back this spring... that should be plenty of recovery time.
(Speaking of this Spring...I am certain we will survive but...there is a Tornado headed right at us....4/16/2010).
I have no idea how Saturday went...my apologies to Bob Christopher..I was out of town on some business. And..since no one missed me enough to call and give me a report..or to even wonder where the hell I was...nothing ..zippo...Well Gina at least acted like she missed me but that is in her contract. Other than that ...nada...bupkiss....zilch...nary a whimper....sigh...fine. I hope the night was ok....
This week...not that it matters...(sulk)...but I will be in the house both evenings...out resident ghost Tom will have some spirit world company....Jimi will be in the house....as in Master Hendrix. Dolly Dagger is a new band to Stumpy's...they will be on stage Friday night...they will bring Jimi Hendrix to life with a very special Tribute. This ought to be great!!! DD had to cancel a couple of months ago do to the FLU...but all is well now and Dolly Dagger is ready to take up a spot All Along the Watch Tower....yeah Friday is going to be a very special night....NO COVER!!!
Saturday...New Years Eve lives again...Coldrake is baaaaaaack. If you come early you can come watch one of the best equipped bands around set up...it is an engineering marvel..Stephan will be there to supervise. Also early arrival will assure your ability to avoid the cover that starts at Nine PM...it is a business and this is quality entertainment Stumpians...its $3.00...or $5.00 per couple... Not that bad... Coldrake is worth it.
Friday Dolly Dagger:Jimi Hendrix Tribute Saturday...Coldrake!!!!!
People are finding their way to Stumpy's....USA Olympic Hockey is rocking along...God's in His Heaven...SPRING TRAINING HAS STARTED!!! yep...All's right with the World....yeah yeah yeah..twist and friggin shout!! I have the best friends on Earth..I live a charmed life!! (Last Friday was in the top five best times I have had ever at Stumpy's...with my clothes on.)
Please remember our Armed Forces in your prayers. To whom or what ever you pray to...ask for a special blessing for the young people protecting your LIBERTIES

12.5 inches....settle down Gina....do not get excited. I am referring to the snow...Let's face it...that is pretty much the only time 12.5 inches will refer to anything white....Dillinger aside. But wow....over a foot of snow?? Here?? Get me Al Gore on the phone...I want to talk to that boy... BTW...90 miles south... Waco.... zippo.. nada...nary a flake. I pretty much saw nothing on the ground until I got a mile or so north of Hillsborough. The further north I drove...the more qamazed I became.....wow. By the time I reached Burleson I was blown away ...this was snow that could bury a small dog...or hide Dillinger....wow. Anyway my apologies to Bobbie Mac...I had to make that call and cancel the band Friday evening...we will make it up to the Macster. Anyway....I think everything is about back to normal now...so lets make up for all the frozen precip...Let's Play Two!!

It's a business....Help me if you can I'm feeling down....and I do appreciate you being 'round...etc etc etc...

Happiness...Roses...Walks in the rain hand in hand...Dates...Candy...Joy Joy Joy...and all that friggin stuff........Valentine's Day is coming....like a freight train...straight at us...or as I affectionately like to call that marvelous day among days...VALLOWEEN .... Whoopee. If I might borrow just a few words from the late great Sam Kennison....I have been in love about 10 times...yada yada yada... I am certain that the next time will not be like the rest... Oh Nooooo...Cupid would never try and screw me like 11 times in a row... So next time I hear ..."This is love...I am not like the others..I am different..." Pardon me if I take a minute to remove my battle scared heart with a salad fork. Bitter??? Me?? Nahhhhhhh..
Oh I am just kidding....everybody grab your sweetie and come on down to Stumpy's this weekend. There will be lots of love to pass around...just how much love is measured in Proof...on the side of each bottle....on come on its a joke. We have lots of Stumpians that have found love right there on Lower Division. Bill/Nancy....Steve/Gina....Woody/American Honey....Luther/Whoever's left at 2AM. Stumpy's is a Cornucopia of Love baby....Yeeee Hawwww. Ok now am just getting off track. Let's talk about the Love Train that is Pulling into our little spot this weekend and who is on board....
Ummmmm Friday night...Mr Take me Home and Love me Long time....Bobbie Mac. Yeah Ladies...this may be your last chance to go steady!!...Oh I am teasing...why would I say that.... NO Bobbie Mac and his Southern Cross Roads Band will be bringing all kinds of Love Ballads to us this Friday evening.... ala Skynard and maybe some Georgia Satellites as well....Southern Rock Reigns at Stumpy's Friday!!
Ahhhhh yes.. then Saturday ...The Love Bunnies themselves....Just In Tyme...All Vallows Eve...Valloween does not start until Just In Tyme cranks it up Saturday Evening...Yeah dudes...lay it all on the line for that special lady.... and ladies....throw caution to the wind and just let Mr Wonderful have his way with your heart... OK that is enough of that... Just remember ...Guys...Gals...you are all safe with us because what happens at Stumpy's...stays at Stumpy's...unless I hear about it then it gets plastered all over the Internet in this newsletter.....yeah baby..I need some material!!!
Friday...Love Ballads with Bobbie Mac.....Saturday...Find your true love to the melodious strains of Just In Tyme.
Quick mention..this past weekend Stumpy's once again kicked every other bar it town's ARSE!!! We Rocked....You Rocked...Howard Starling finally had a crowd...and he was terrific!!...Howard will be back the first Friday in March....Really great job Howie!!... Then Saturday night..one of the finest rock bands around....I mean that...VOID... those guys were simply killer Saturday night last...Huey Lewis was in the house!! I do want a new drug...one that makes every band sound as good as VOID....GREAT GIG!!!
Only thing I have to say about the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue this week is this...(silence)
(Long Pause)....as the saying goes..if you have nothing nice to say...etc etc etc....
Hey....a Tornado is coming...4/16/2010....be ready...
Pray for your Service personal. These Heroes ask for very little..and respect wise sometimes it seems that they get what they ask for... I say hit your knees every night and thank God for these young men and women that protect our LIBERTIES.
Peace/Victory

stumpys update
Got Coffee?.....Got Cream?....How 'bout some Disraeli Gears....no it is not the name of a transmission used by a former British Prime Minister...(boy I am waaaay out there today)...travel back with me to 1967. OK forget that....Does the term POWER TRIO bring anything to mind?? How about the name Jack Bruce?? Ginger Baker...Eric Clapton?? ahhhh ok I saw a couple of heads nod out there on that one...the greatest album produced by the greatest power trio..ever...Disraeli Gears....Cream...Jack, Ginger, and Eric. DG lived again on our little Lower West Division stage this past Saturday night....wow...I really like The Nosmo Kings. Remember 8 Track Tapes?? I had to order Disraeli Gears Special...it was not "in store"....you may quote me one more time...DG...The Single Greatest Album ever produced by the greatest Power Trio EVER....Our Nosmo Kings know Cream...Saturday...We had Cream for our Coffee..as well as Stubby, Phillip, and Todd.
Once again just like last week....NK had the best of the best setting them up. Velvet Love Box absolutely has the most unique original sound in all of North Texas. Brandon, Scot & Neil .... Rather than a power Trio I refer to them as a Cash Machine Trio....they may be putting out the best sound around but what they really do is sell beer...and Jager....and Jager. Velvet will be back in March?? ..I sent Scot a message..have not heard back...maybe I should Tweet him....that sounds really bad....
Ok what a great weekend...what do we do to follow that up??? ok How about some Blues?? How about some Blues the King of Blues, Bugs Henderson (FYI..negotiations are on going to get Bugs back...stay tuned I talked to the King a couple of weeks ago..April..May??)...ok where was I...oh yeah..the blues guy Bugs likes to listen too...Howard Starling ..on our stage Friday Night...NO COVER...if you are a Blues Lover..be in the house...
Saturday....Rock and Roll....unbelievable vocals....lights....and entertainment worth the small cover charge we have that night....VOID....Cobbie et al brings it baby....the cover kicks in at Nine...arrive early...
Ok Friday Howard Starling and his Groove Yard Band....Saturday...VOID.....
I was qamazed at the crowds this weekend...in fact the entire month of January was just terrific...I just cannot tell you how much I, Jeff, Anna, Kaysi, Tina, Rachel, Laura and Gina appreciate it. We struggled that last two months of 2009 but 2010 has started well fellow Stumpians... help us keep the dream alive...tell your friends about The Stump. Yeah we have covers every now and again...but we provide great entertainment. I love you Stumpians you are qamazing...where did that word come from?? Sherry?? Sandy??
Moral Quandary of the Day....this news flash caught my eye today....(read carefully)
"News Alert: Study provides evidence that abstinence-only sex education can be effective.Sex education classes that focus on encouraging children to remain abstinent can convince a significant proportion to delay sexual activity, researchers report in landmark study. The abstinence program had no negative effects on condom use among youth in the study, which has been a major criticism of the abstinence approach." Wow....I see...so somewhere in some ivory tower some brilliant pundit has decided that it is ok to teach your adolescent children that it is ok to NOT have sex prior reaching the age of accountability. Now look I am certainly no moral compass for anyone...I have had sex outside of wedlock...gasp..yes it is true. What qamazes me is that somewhere someone is reading that blurb and telling their Wife..or Girlfriend..Oh honey great news... it's ok if we tell the kids not to do it!! When I was in HS we did it....yep and we were told not to...by mom, dad and the preacher...and the only reason we did not use a condom(rubber) was if the machine in the bathroom down at Henry's Filling Station was broken or empty....sheeeeesh...
Be thankful every day for every LIBERTY you enjoy...be grateful for the freedoms we so easily take for granted...say a prayer of thanksgiving every day for the men and women that put their lives on the line to protect and defend our LIBERTIES in order for us to enjoy the freedom we so love.

STUMPYS UPDATE
Zewwbie doobie doo.....oh Zewwbie doobie...sorry just still can't get Saturday night out of my head. If anyone on this planet..other than my mom...wants to know what makes me tick....well the "Last Saturday Night @Stumpy's Experience" that does it... that makes Paul Woodruff tick...well that and a few other things that mostly revolve around girls. But....we had a full house Saturday...we had lots of happy new faces...and some happy familiar faces....some incredibly beautiful women....great service from the ladies behind the bar...and...one helluva hot band...THE ZEW....oh did I mention a really busy cash register?? Yeah baby ..last Saturday night Lower Division belonged to Stumpy's...shoot Tarrant county belonged to us.
Derrick...bring that band back...and soon!!
Don't get me wrong...to have a great Saturday you have to have a great Friday night just to get the ball rolling. Read my lips..Jason Elmore and HooDoo Witch is just about one of the best blues bands I have heard...Jason did a solo acoustic set that was beyond incredible. Top that off with he is just about the nicest dude to work with I have found in a long while....Jason will be back in March as will the other half of our Dennison connection Oliver White...
Mark my words Stumpians....no one in Tarrant or Dallas Counties had the line up of great live music that we had this past weekend.....Keep that marker handy....Mark this...NO ONE HAS ANYTHING CLOSE TO WHAT WE HAVE THIS WEEKEND!!!!! WE HAVE THE BEST VENUE IN TOWN STUMPIANS!! PASS THAT WORD AROUND TOWN!!!
OK Friday night....the Bop Bop Bop best original sound in North Texas. Velvet Love Box. It is not hard at all to find superlatives to throw around this threesome...the one that comes to mind right off the top is..Worthy.
These guys are worthy of any thing good you can find to say. I for one just can't wait to hear them...there is a cover...get there before nine to avoid it. Rumor has it an East Side celebrity may be in the house... Remember Sandy from Grease?? Well it's not her..but dang close.
Saturday Night.....OWNERS PICK. About Nine years ago I went out to Cedar Hill to catch a band playing at The Box Car...I was not in the place 5 minutes before I knew that these three guys were Stumpirific. The Nosmo Kings have been Stumpians ever since. Todd, Stubby, and Phillip ... Three Musicians...Three Stumpians....Three plus one days away from blowing your socks off with the best Electric Blues you will hear this year...that is until they are back.
NOW HEAR THIS...THIS IS KAYSI'S BIRTHDAY WEEKEND!!!! THE PARTY STARTS WITH VELVET ON FRIDAY AND ENDS WITH THE KINGS ON SATURDAY....DO NOT MISS THIS!!!
Side Bar...just who the heck is Paul Woodruff??
It was announced today that President Obama yo Mama...wants to put a freeze on government spending... I will wait until the laughter dies down... Say what???? He wants to put a freeze on Government spending... again I say ..Say what?? Now that has to be because... One..He has spent it all...Two ... he is waiting on his April 15th paycheck...or Three..He should have never doubled down on that Massachusetts bet... By the way...let me just say this...THANK YOU MASSACHUSETTS !!!! ( the most amazing thing is I can spell Massachusetts,,how bout that Maf..pssssst do not bother making notice that I mentioned you two weeks in a row)
Gina(its in her contract)
Please remember out wonderful heroes in uniform...prayer is a powerful tool..use it.
Peace/Victory

stumpys update
This week At Stumpy's.....get ready for the best blues and rock you have seen in a while Stumpians. Jason Elmore and HooDoo Witch is comming to town. Jason is part of our Dennison Connection. This Friday will mark the third time Mr Elmore has traveled south to entertain us. Don't miss this...I want to issue a special invitation to all the J&J's Blues Barbarians out there to come check us out..maybe find a new home. It's a shame about the demise of J&J's but it happens..hopefully not to us..We are hanging in there for now...so anyway...Stumpians..Barbarians...Jason is in the house Friday night!! NO COVER...
Saturday...Party Time...Derrick is bringing THE ZEW back....oh baby..this is gonna be a party...and one of such magnitude that you might want to consider getting in your favorite spot a tad early....we are gonna be packed kids...and once again..NO COVER.
Great music this past weekend. Second Hand Soul and The Boogie Men did great jobs. My knees are still sore form being on the dance floor...especially Saturday night when "The Bad Girls" showed up. Did I say Bad??? I meant BAAAAAAD... Many thanks to the L&L twins as well.... Oh and did I mention Johnnie Walker?? He showed up in force...Along with his friends Jack, Jim. and Jose. They will be back this weekend...Maybe The BAAAAAAD Girls will be too...wooooo hoooo.
This past week was filled with awful visions of the devestation in Haiti and the heart breaking news of the loss of a 34 year old Hero, Officer Craig Story. One tragedy impacted The World immediately..the other impacts my immediate world. I've been to Haiti and seen the dire poverty first hand. The loss there and this horrible Earthquake has done damage that my generation and the next will never see healed. However, in time the nation of Haiti and its people will experience recovery. It will be slow, painful, and no doubt very expensive to the tax payers of World...translate that USA. Of course we pray for that nation. Officer Story is gone forever. A young hero to this community will never return. His loss is a deep cut into the heart of Arlington Texas. This too shall pass. Tragedy..Loss ..Pain...I hate to sound trite or cliche..but they are a part of life. I ask in a loud voice that Our Lord will assuage the pain of his wife Danielle, son John..father Danny and his Mother Michele....and will protect the unborn child his wife had informed him about the day before he was so tragically taken. I also want to personally thank all of the young men and women that protect our streets, businesses, homes, and families. Craig's death serves no purpose other than to remind us just how indebted we are to our law enforcement community.
As long as you are on your knees do not forget our American Service personal in the Middle East...as well as those in all corners of this planet. When you read about this economic downturn and see all the people we have become so close to that are having hard times...don't think about what we do not have ..think about all we take for granted. Our possessions are abundant.
Ride with the Angels Craig.
Peace/Victory

Did I say Bad??? I meant BAAAAAAD... Many thanks to the L&L twins as well.... Oh and did I mention Johnnie Walker?? He showed up in force...Along with his friends Jack, Jim. and Jose. They will be back this weekend...Maybe The BAAAAAAD Girls will be too...wooooo hoooo.
This past week was filled with awful visions of the devestation in Haiti and the heart breaking news of the loss of a 34 year old Hero, Officer Craig Story. One tragedy impacted The World immediately..the other impacts my immediate world. I've been to Haiti and seen the dire poverty first hand. The loss there and this horrible Earthquake has done damage that my generation and the next will never see healed. However, in time the nation of Haiti and its people will experience recovery. It will be slow, painful, and no doubt very expensive to the tax payers of World...translate that USA. Of course we pray for that nation. Officer Story is gone forever. A young hero to this community will never return. His loss is a deep cut into the heart of Arlington Texas. This too shall pass. Tragedy..Loss ..Pain...I hate to sound trite or cliche..but they are a part of life. I ask in a loud voice that Our Lord will assuage the pain of his wife Danielle, son John..father Danny and his Mother Michele....and will protect the unborn child his wife had informed him about the day before he was so tragically taken. I also want to personally thank all of the young men and women that protect our streets, businesses, homes, and families. Craig's death serves no purpose other than to remind us just how indebted we are to our law enforcement community.
As long as you are on your knees do not forget our American Service personal in the Middle East...as well as those in all corners of this planet. When you read about this economic downturn and see all the people we have become so close to that are having hard times...don't think about what we do not have ..think about all we take for granted. Our possessions are abundant.
Ride with the Angels Craig.
Peace/Victory

Stumpys Update
Brrrrrr...I am fairly certain I am a warm weather animal...apparently most Stumpians are...the crowds were juuuust bit smallish this weekend...but thanks to big John's Birthday...we did all right at the old register. Ergo..no complaints from The Woodster. Still....it was just awful cold. (If I might steal a line from the late great Johnny Carson)...It was so cold I saw two attorneys walking around with their hands in their own pockets. And.....It was so cold Gerrronica was down graded for hot to tepid...It was so cold the guy that sells the fake Rolexes was selling fake heaters..It was so cold the Crack Whores on Division moved south to Abrams(they are crack whores...not rocket scientists)....Finally...It was so cold Gina asked for the Tuaca to be served warm...now that my friends is c-c-c-cold.
OK...so this week...'pose to be wet but not all that cold so get out of the house Stumpians!!! Friday night..on your stage...Ed Russo...Paul Pruitt..and the rest of their blues cats..they will be there as the hot hot hot...Second Hand Soul. This is a one night pleasure trip music lovers....SHS has been bringing it for a while now and they are not to be missed....they are only one of perhaps five hands that played for us when we were about three miles east in our old location...come on Stumpians let's make this a reunion weekend of the original Stumpians...pass the word...because..on Saturday night another of the Stumpy's Originals will be on your stage....Greg Walling brings in his Boogie Men...now this may just be the best dance band we have ever had....so put on your boogie shoes for The Boogie Men Saturday night. Pass the word Stumpians....This is a Stumpy's Reunion Weekend. Friday night...The Original Second Hand Soul...Saturday night..the Original Boogie Men!!!! I want to see some faces I have not seen in a while...right next to the ones I see every week....PASS THE WORD STUMPIANS ONE AND ALL!!!!
Many thanks to Mr Holland K Smith and to Mr Mario Marcus...their hot blues kept us from freezing last weekend.
Top Five Reasons to come have a beer at Stumpy's this weekend instead of listening to President Obama's
State of the Union Speech...Beer is better than Obama because beer has a pretty good head on it. Beer is better than Obama because you know what's in beer. Beer is better than Obama because beer won't take half your paycheck. Beer is better than Obama because beer makes life a little better. And the number one reason... ...Beer is better than Obama because you're sad if there's no more beer.
Remember to pray for your troops...cold is bad but cold when there are people trying to kill you is a lot worse.
