ROEBUCK, the Band Update


Great night of karaoke tonight. Two very dear people were celebrating birthdays and I sang "Birthday" by the Beatles in their honour. Holland Marie was there and she's wanting her band to learn "Promised Land," the Chuck Berry penned song, based on the "Walbash Cannonball" that Elvis improved immensely. Tony found it for me and I opened the evening with that. Then for my friend, Steve, I did "Gimme Shelter," the Stones' classic.
Maybe your heard that my son, Josh is moving back down to North Carolina and has agreed to be the drummer for "ROEBUCK, the Band," and we'll begin the process of finding guitarists, a keyboardist and someone on bass.
There were members of a band that plays a lot in the area in house and the bass player told me that he was already in two bands, but that if we ever got in a bind and needed someone to play bass to give him a hollar.
Does a soul good. He was very kind and said, my song was excellent and that I "sang it rather than got up there and went through the motions."
I'm feeling pretty good tonight.
