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
Peace/Victory

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

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.
Peace/Victory
