welcome back Bobcat!

There are many here that would give ANYTHING to hear "Bad boys of Rock N' Roll" played live--I'm one of them for sure!

There is something truly magical about those small clubs-- you can actually feel the electricity from the amps.... smell that musk of denim, leather and sweat.... if you're right up front (as I suspect you've been too) you get those beads of perspiration and spit flying off the band members. Okay, I know...it's a bit much...and those who don't understand the magic will just go "ewww. gross.'

But....
for those of you who do...
there's nothing like that first bass drum beat in a small club-- you can feel vibrating your tee-shirt in the middle of your chest. The Chance was so amazingly loud that if I had hair on my head, it would have blown back. When they played Jaxx in Springfield, I felt like I was just spending a night hanging with friends, who just happened to be onstage, playing some of the most kick ass covers I'd ever heard.

Yup. It doesn't really compare to standing outside in the burning sun all day in a mud-pit. But yet, as much as I hate festivals, I lament that the Dallas date has disappeared off the website. alas. I was so looking forward to Dallas TX... but looks like it will be another time, perhaps. Many members of the band do read the slamboard, and they have often granted wishes to SMFs (just ask Marty, who pleaded to hear "I'll Never Grow Up, Now" one more time....and they finally obliged!)

Welcome to the slamboard, Bobcat. There's good folks here, and there's always room for one more SMF at the table....pull up a chair.
