Thanks Dave, I'm going to make it through all this. I'll have good news to report soon. Daryl

I hope so. Thanks

Thanks I appreciate that.I have a lot going on this month. Blue

Thanks, One of those rare occasions when we were working with decent sound. Blue

Thanks Chris. I just hope I'm done with all this by June. Blue

Hi, I'm hanging in there. I'm scheduled for my second procedure on 4/30. Hopefully it will be my last one. Work on my new teeth starts on 4/ 12. Everything should be fine by June. I'm booked for the whole summer. YAY! How are you guys doing? I have attached a clip from a virtual NYE acoustic gig. Our set starts at 38:40.All originals Headphones or speakers recommended. Cheers Blue

Thanks Stub I'm glad I decided to use my German Hofner for acoustic gigs. Blue

Our band has 2 divisions " She's Right, I'm Left" is our acoustic offering. Maple Road is the full electric band offering. Heres a clip of our acoustic virtual 2020 New Years Eve show. Our set starts at 36.40. Headphones or speakers recommended. Blue

Maybe not a generation. Definitely how I learned how to be in a band. Blue

This footage shows how a generation of musicians learned about being in a band and how to be in a band. Blue

As far as I know our live New Years Eve gig is still happening. Nice hours. we played The Barley Pop last NYE. Great crowd and great sounding small room. Blue

A few pics from Sunday morning we filmed a 45 minute set at the historic West Bend Theatre for a virtual New Year's Eve Show.. I have complete respect for people who work in TV. We got to the Theatre at 1130 and didn't finish until 4:30. Blue

Thanks Meter Man Blue

Thanks Pete Blue

WOW! An 84 MIJ P Bass. That's a fantastic bass. Blue

Agreed, I'm not kidding my German made Hofner Club will float out of my hand if I'm not careful. Blue

Our 2020 New Years Eve gig has been confirmed.

Our rules can vary from county to county and city to city. Blue

I've been playing with Jenny for over 10 years. We don't use a set list much anymore. She calls the songs, we play them. Everything from "Stand By Me" to Knocking On Heavens Door to Joe Bonamassa's " Mr. Boss Man. We have a few originals as well. We're a small local dance hall band. Blue

We played Friday Night: An Evening with Maple Road Washington County Fair Park & Convention Center West Bend WI December 4th Friday Night 7:00- 10:00 We drew about 150 people. A real nice crowd. We played 3 hours straight, no breaks.We also networked with the director who books all the National Headliner Recording artist for the county. Hopefully this will give us a better slot at the fair this summer. Possibly opening for a headliner in the amphitheater or a better evening time slot in one of the larger tents Next weekend we'll play in Dundee at The Road House Saturday Night. 7-11. Then Sunday morning we will film a 45 minute set at the historic West Bend Theatre for a virtual New Year's Eve Show. Blue

I saw a booking for July 14th, 2021. But who knows, it might get cancelled. Blue

Most of our december gigs have been cancelled due to new restrictions. There's no end in sight. Blue

My band is still hanging in there. We're targeting larger unconventional venues for distancing. We're playing Washington County Fair Park on 12/4. It will be the first time in our 18 years of gigging where we will charge at the door. Blue

Depending on the band, the type of band and gigs you play ageing can get weird. I'm 67 and I notice the punters approach the other band members before me. They're all in their 30s Blue

I've continued to gig, we've had thursday. and Saturday gigs for the last two weeks. Some were ok and some were kind of deadsville. The Harley Davidson gig was a bust. I think people were cautious about coming out. Next gig 10/17 Blue
