No idea on venues at all, but if I were to speculate, I’d suggest the New York and DC area. It will have been two years since a Wolf Trap gig…OhShenandoah wrote:I think the Biltmore is likely in August as well, though I too feel a private show

Tivoli(Chattanooga), Biltmore, Chastain Park(Atlanta), Charolotte, TN Theater(Knoxville), Roanoke(What about that Carey?
),Williamsburg(private show! ), Viriginia Beach, Phily, Wolf Trap! That’s not asking too much is it? 😆 😆 😆

Lake Lanier, GAPS: I would take the whole month off for that! 😆 Who knows! 💡 Maybe I’ll win Road Scholar of the Year or Road Warrior of the Year!
There is hope! 😆 Road Scholars start your engines! 😆si_twining wrote:I understand there will be Noisemakers shows – they did a private show last Saturday – but don’t expect too many on the calendar this year.That just tells me we need to do a private show!
Anyone interested in a private show?

(now – y’all know I’m just bustin’ on him… only because I love him to bits. Are you feeling the love on the board? huh? Are ya?)gdwoman, thank you soo much!
Like I said before, you need to “check-in” more often! That solves a lot of questions I’ve always had. I’ve always wondered about some of Bruce’s “roots”.
Have you ever seen the Octane Kids? Let us know! Plez? Mi fellin da lov!

You need to check in more often! Tell us more about the “Octane Kids”! Who else played in the band?

Lake Lanier, GAHey Vic!
Happy trails to you!
Good luck in your move and your new life! You deserve it!!! Smoooth runnings!

The qualifications for Road Warrior of the Year needs to be clarified in another writing. You don’t want to miss it! 😆
Congratulations Monica! You just set the standard!
I knew Texas was big, but I didn’t know it was that big! 😆 😳Lastly, even though being Road Warrior of the Year will be a distinct honor, the ultimate goal will remain to be called to the hollowed status of Road Scholar. In another post, Vic listed all the current Road Scholars! 😆 That list remains the same! 😆

Lake Lanier, GAWhat about Stacked Mary Possum>Pastures of Plenty>Tango King>Candy Mountain Run?
That would be a “super duper bowl”! 😆

Envelope please!

I would like to thank the CPA firm of Bruce, Bruuce and Bruuuce! 😆 Without their help and support, none of this would be possible!
The ‘2007 Road Scholar of the Year goes to!…..For the second year running (no pun intended 😆 ),Carey Wilhelm!
“Nodin mor neds to be sa!” 😆 (Nothing more needs to be said!) That does say it all! If I can count correctly 😆 , ‘2007 should put Carey if not over, but close to 300 shows! That’s outstanding! The runner-up and ‘2007 “Road Warrior” of the Year goes to a newcomer!
Even though the number of shows were equivalent to other Road Scholars, the distance to travel to those shows were noteworthy! The ‘2007 Road Warrior of the Year goes to!…..From Texas (all my ex-es live in TX 😆 ), babytweety2yo!
Monica, that was some outstanding mileage to get to a show! It takes a true Brucehead to do what you did! For Carey and Monica, whenever our paths cross at a meetup, dinner and drinks for you and a friend are always on me.

Long time ago, way back when, I made a statement that I’ve since made many times. I can’t think of a more appropriate time than now to say it again!

Lake Lanier, GAThe results are in!
After many hours of computations and calculations, wearing the pencils out I permanently borrowed from Rich down to the nub, the results have been turned over to the CPA firm of Bruce, Bruuce & Bruuuce for verification and accuracy! 😆

Lake Lanier, GAStay tuned! Road Scholar of the Year ‘2007 will be announced soon! In fact, by popular demand, starting this year a runner up will be awarded also!
I’m currently busy with my computer, mapquest, state maps, surveys I borrowed from Allisa 😆 and pencils I borrowed from Rich 😆 laying out routes and calculating miles. The results will be audited by the CPA firm of Bruce, Bruuce & Bruuuce for accuracy. 😆
Stay tuned! You don’t want to miss it!

Lake Lanier, GAVictor wrote:I wonder if it would be possible for Bruce to do a Blackberry Blossom>Stacked Mary Possum medley? I guess it would be fairly easy, since one came from the other, but would the two styles mesh together? How would that go, David “Mr. Hall of Fame” Day?That would be totally awesome!
Bluegrass meets jazz! See, we’re one happy family after all! Bruce could do that! In fact, he would probably be the only one that could! I would choose Stacked Mary Possum>Blackberry Blossum>Stacked Mary Possum over Blackberry Blossom>Stacked Mary Possum. 😆 😆 😆

Check it out! Listen to it!
Does it really need anything to make it any hotter? 😆David Day

I always knew there was some sort of connection between Bruce and me! It’s the glasses! 😆 😆 😆

It’s time!
Who will be the Road Scholar of the Year for ‘2007? :Will it be Carey again? Will it be LolaPulsa? Will it be Kat? Will it be gdwoman? Will it be Allisa, Vic, MVF, Treah or even me? 😆
I have a feeling that there is someone out there that can be crowned the new King (or Queen) of the Hill for ‘2007. In fact, I met a lady at Guilford that had many very impressive road trips!
I hope that she will repsond to the forum (finally) and report in and I hope that you will too!
Let us know the number of shows you went to in ‘2007, the approximate number of miles driven and the number of states you had to drive thru to get to those shows.
To refresh your memory, sitting in an airplane, drinking a cocktail and being waited on to get to a show does not count! 😆
Don’t be bashful! It’s time for all Road Scholars to report in!
I’ll go first. I only made it to two shows this year, traveled about 600 miles in 3 states. 😳 Not a stellar year for me. 😆
Calling all Road Scholars! Let us hear your stories!
It’s time! David Day

Lake Lanier, GAI was just listening to Circus on the Moon and realized something. I keep waiting for Bruce to hit his piano solo, but for some reason he never does. On the other hand, Bruce does something I’ve never heard him do before. At the end of the song, he does an “around the horn” thing with the Noisemakers. The progression is Bruce>JT>Doug>JV>Sonny>Bobby>Bruce.
They do that several times and each time makes it more difficult for the next to know when to jump in.Check it out! Anybody else hear that?
I can’t help but think what I heard Doug say one time. “Bruce loves to entertain the band as we play. Our job is to ‘watch Bruce’ because we never know what he is going to throw us.” I can see that here!
David Day
Lake Lanier, GADavid Rich is right! Don’t be afraid to use a capo!
Another piece of advice is to learn some bar chords. Start with an E chord. Use your first finger, the one next to your thumb, and use that as a capo. Use your other fingers to form an E chord as you slide you hand down the neck from fret to fret. One you learn that, you have just learned many chords and can learn many variations!
As far as Halcyon Days, it can’t be that hard. If you or Dave Rich don’t get it picked out by this weekend, I’ll try to pick it out for you. Just let me know.
Dave Rich is better than me, but I was playing when he was in diapers! 😉
