Guest Book

the guest book. as weird and sometimes ram-bunk-shus as it can be = this is one of the funniest and best group of folks. yeah we are a great bunch! I think I got started during the Dickey fallout time in 2000 - so it was a full fledged "food fight"....... and that of course can still happen big time Belushi style at any moment - perfect........ passionate opinionated fans just like the music itself. there ain't nothing like it really. have kinda tried to 'splain it to others but they just don't quite get it. dat's ho-kay. my friends and even some of my musician friends too just kind of turn their heads when I git 'er goin' about the ABB and the drummers in particular and The Beacon run of course......... Was this past year epic or what - 'nuff said. I still keep trying to think that maybe I have gone too far = but........no - when I listen it makes sense even more so. go listen to True Gravity then put on Multi-Colored Lady.........this is way way past Melissa and even W-Post and One Way Out. did somebody just say let's go to Egypt? I love other types of music (jazz in particular), think that Little Feat & Marshall Tucker when they were together were in-frickin'-credible. etc etc. NOBODY plays like they did and still do - nobody. so back to this place..........I have met several at Beacon pre-parties and on the funky Broadway Street. bought Oteil a slice this year at Big Nick's = he came from the hotel with no dough? I even got our man - West Coast Scotty a ticket last year 2005 when he was hosting the Coast gig but did not have a seat - wow was that meant to be........had never met him before walking into his party. listening to I. W. Ricky T. go on about how to properly play drums to AND listen "properly" to the ABB is still a pleasure.........why do I think it is kewl he got "banned"..........rebel yell please! Buppalo "JFD" Randy has to be the kindest most giving soul next to Lana maybe in Narth America or beyond. The Jello Shot Chix and Beacon Hoo-Hoo Girls are just nutts.......met 'em this year.......dangerous ladies indeedy! love to all. Lang Manion
