Aw man...."Radio Ears" What a cool song that was! I miss hearing it.

Joe,


Was the line-up for "Radio Ears" the same as "Goodby Steeltown". I know I still have that 45 some where...

Would really love to hear Goodbye Steeltown again this Friday. Also will there be copies of the Killer Joe st avaiable? If not then where?

I just listened to the vinyl Blood on the Bricks tonight while cooking supper. dinner took a little longer but tasted better. What an underated release.

Let's hope FOJ Bill G gets resigned by the pens!

Mama G - Thanks for the nice note! Glad to hear that it was your entertaining and being pooped that kept you on the sidelines and not because me and the boys were a bit more rowdy than usual! To my defense though, it was all Art's fault. He kept pointing his base at us every time he ripped it with a big smirk on his face. Kind of got us going, you know! Ha! Oh yeah, might have had something to do with tapping the first cold one at 11 a.m. and not stopping until after the HR show! Ugh! Gotta knock that off! Anyway, would love to hit the Spring Lake show but may not be able to. If not, we'll hopefully catch you all again in Asbury for the Light of Day. By the way, I had the pleasure of talking with Bob Benjamin at the Wonder Bar which was a real treat! Amazing, wonderful man! Okay, I'm hogging the post space now and gotta get back to work. You take care and say heh to the rest of the family. And, where the heck is Janee. Gone real quiet after her vacation! Hahaha. Later. Bob

I never knew Warren King played on GB Steeltown. What a great mix of local musicians on that tune. Mama G..Sounds like you could use some rest. I have a busy concert schedule coming up....Willie Nelson Aug 14th, HR Picnic Aug 15th, Paul McCartney Aug 19th, and Roger Waters Sept 26th. Sure makes quick work of a short summer.

Hey Jersey Bob, Just want to say I just got of the merry go round today! We partied for 11 days! Yes i was exhausted at the wonder bar but I had to pace myself for the week to come. We also had alot of friends with us that I was the hostess for. You & Kendal are the best! Atlantic City, My sisters Birthday, Wonder Bar, Warp Tour (John played at Monmouth Racetrack with I Drive) trip to New York, Swimming & drinking with a Jersey Friend for 2 days, The IDrive CD release party at the Alter Bar, Tom Petty Concert for my Birthday 8 rows back! This is the life of a rock & roll wife, for 25 yrs which I love. Maybe you could come to the show in Springlake on August 19, and we can get a dance in. Thanks soooo much for the great post about I Drive's CD, I feel the same way about the songs, were excited about the cd and I think their fan base is too. They have 560,000 hits on the web which is wild. Now we just have to make sure the right people hear the songs. Kendal you should come to Springlake too! Well, gotta relax to get my energy back to start all over again in a few weeks. XOXOXO

This note is for Johnny and "his boys". Was down the shore last night and had a great dinner with my family in Point Pleasant. On the way back to our place, I thought I'd take a shot and load in The I Drive CD I bought at the show last week (actually bought 8 of them for all the Boston boys). I had my daughters and thier husband and fiance and my wife Angela and I in the car. It was unanimous (even Angela which totally shocked me) that The I Drive should be on the radio and touring now! They all loved the songs especially how you guys go in and out with some good old fashioned rock combined with some really nice soft lyrical pieces to each song (taking after the old man, heh Johnnie?!). Anyway, since I've been witness to Johnnie playing with the HR since he was about 12 or 13 (first show he came out to play with dad,with me and kendall in the audience was my very first HR show outside behind the Stone Pony about 7 or 8 years or so ago)I thought I'd pass on the Big Bob Family Feedback! Great job! Bob
