upcoming lkp dates, happy new year!!
Here we go, the last weekend of the year, and two great gigs to roll out with! We are so happy to have survived another year making music and having fun, and we look forward to 2006 as our biggest year ever. As they say change is good, but in welcoming Eric Stone as the latest new kid, we also need to say goodbye to a great kid, and a great player. Bill Edmondson has been with us for almost 3 years, and you have all gotten used to his great playing, his fine AC/DC renditions, and his rock and roll faces! We wish Bill the best of luck on his future endeavors, and hope he comes back to play with us from time to time. We couldn’t have asked for a better and more talented player than Bill. He brings so much to the table, it’s hard to choose one thing to be impressed by. We all thank him for his time with the kid, and we hope to see him out and about as soon as possible! Not to get all mushy, but usually band changes are surrounded by nasty words and problems. Thankfully, this is not the case, and we all leave this stage of LKP with our own directions to head, and no regrets. Thanks for everything, Bill, and we’ll see you soonest!
With Bill’s final gig on new years, we introduce you to Eric Stone, also known as Fish, Fische? Or some other spelling that I am not aware. Eric and I used to be in the Reactors many years ago, and we are psyched to have him join us. I think you’ll understand why we like him when you get a hold of his bass playing, singing and equally twisted sense of humor. We’ll let the man speak for himself as he hits the stage with us at whippersnappers on January 3 and 4. With a slew of new tunes that come with any band transition, we are looking at about a new set’s worth of material to debut at Whips! Enjoy the holiday and we’ll see you in January with some new tunes and a few new year’s resolutions to ignore for another 365 days!
This weekend is New Years, in case you missed it. We are starting things off with Gusto’s in Barre on Friday, and kicking in the new year at the Black Brimmer in Manchester on Saturday night. Tix are $30 per person, and tables can be reserved (if there are any left) for dinner through Vanessa at the Brimmer. Give them a call if you need a table, and they’ll set you up for some fine dining, and a night to remember! We will be sporting some fun toys for midnight, and hope that everyone is ready to ring in 06 with a bang! Enjoy the festivities of the season, and we’ll all tackle 2006 together!
Last week, I deferred the awards stating that I would have some end of year awards for this week. I think the awards are more thanks, and some funnies, but here are some people I would like to think of in the closing of ’05:
The ninth Beatle award goes to Bill for playing with us, and being the 9th member of LKP. We thank him for all he brought to us, and wish him the best!
The crazy bastard award goes to Gord for making it 9 full years and 897 gigs with me in LKP. Keep counting, they’ll keep adding up!
The young guy award goes to Jason, he’s been with us longer than Bill, but he’ll always be the kid in the Kid- keep the good times coming!
The “you don’t know what you’ve gotten yourself into” award goes to Eric, we’ll let him figure it out for himself!
Special thanks for the year go to every club owner, every bartender and wait staff, and all the boys and girls in the kitchens that keep this kid fat and happy! You guys make us have fun, and that’s what it’s all about!
To Rick, Stew, Lyle, Woo, Artie, Abby, TK, Jim, sticker guy, Chris and all the others that fix us, help us and make us look good!
To Melissa all on her own for making the website happen, and making me look smart with all of her mistress of propaganda duties!
To all of our families, significant others and friends that keep us sane and let us stay out late at night – a lot and often!
And to all of you who come out and play with us. If we didn’t have people to play for, we’d be hanging in the garage, wondering what to do. Thanks for your years of support, and we’ll continue to have a great time with you all!
And the narcolepsy award goes to all of us that enjoy new years, take the next day off with pay!
