Yeah. It's been a pretty crappy year. Of course I've said that for the last few years now.

Sorry, that sucks. Didn't mean to seem insensitive.

You need to be more positive about things. Such as that bar could be replaced with a coffee shop where you can also socialize.

Meh. I socialize enough already. That was our New Years Eve gig along with 4 others down the drain.

Edit: The positive would be that it frees up more time for golf this fall.

We play early classic rock and dance hits. There is a lot of Beatles, CCR, Stones, Elvis tunes, and then throw in some frat rock favorites like Shout, Wolly Bully, Wild Thing, and Mony Mony. We also have some newer ones like Adelle's Rolling in the deep. We have over 200 songs. Below are links to our MySpace (yes it still exists) page which is outdated, but does have a few recordings. This was long before I was the drummer.

We do Suspicious Minds, Burnin Love, and Little Sister. Last year, there was an Elvis impersonator in the audience, so we invited him onstage to sing. It was a blast!

I'm just the drummer. I leave the song selection up to the singers and pickers and I just keep the groove groovin.

Right on, my kid's a drummer too, was on the HS drumline, played quads. Took a break through college but he's in a new band now. Haven't heard them but I can guarantee they aren't throwing down any Elvis.

I wonder how Elvis would sound with an 'Indie" mix? Might not be too bad. "Blink 18Elvis"?

Enrique Inglasias might be able to pull of some Elvis songs with a slight Spanish twist to it?

No chance, failed every time it's been tried. No one holds a candle to the King. ;)

    • Day 316 - More swings, full backswing and full finish.
    • Day 132: did some mirror work while watching TV. Worked on backswing stuff primarily. 
    • 26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity. 
    • Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
