Hey,
Well, I finished taking down the Christmas decorations on the site, & put the new album in the music player(s) & on the podcast.
I also added teh indiviual tracks to the "music for download" list on the music page.
I hope this is to everybody's satisfaction

Mr Webmaster
It is probably time you got this info from the horse's mouth instead of the usual bunch of uninformed "followers" of the band (dont know why they call them "followers" when they are always trying to put their own spin on what the band is doing).
You now have all the mastered versions of the tunes on the album except for "Abbey Road" which was too big of a file to e mail. However you will be receiving copies of the CD(the silkscreened version is 5 bucks) in your stinking frog snail mail within days. Right R.D.??
The order on the album is the order in which the songs were supposed to be played before we knew Bob had to leave before the end of the show to make his other show. "Goin' Up To The Country" was omitted from the album because it, for lack of a better term.......SUCKED. If we put up the entire unedited show on podcast you will be able to enjoy the actual order in which the songs were performed, along with our witty banter. You will also hear us try to quit after only 35 of our 45 minutes was up. The actual run time of the songs was 37 minutes and the subsequent cool stuff we said to the crowd took us up to 43 minutes.
The order on the record is:
WELCOME YOU HOME
TAILSPIN
LOVELIGHT
HEY BULLDOG
OLD BROWN SHOE
ABBEY ROAD
I AM THE WALRUS
The Release Party is Sunday and it would be appreciated if everyone coaxed somebody they know to come and get a CD.
The staff is dropping of some copies to WFPK tomorrow.

Dave, I will send you my snail mail. Here? One child was killed at the Monster Truck Jam I did at RBC center. Some piece of metal came whipping off a truck and whacked him in the head. The crowd almost rioted after the boy was taken away by ambulance and they tried to continue the show. It was very scary..Much love to all. GJL
And another lie is that none them Prankster boys live at my theatre! They all have seperate homes!!
O, yeah--I almost fergot the best part. Good ol' Sara "Flailin" Palin is comin' back with me as my own personal medical consort, if ya know what I mean (wink, wank) So we got somethin' fer the Crankster Pussy Cats to look forward too, to. In the words of that old necrofilic spirital, We Will Overcum. GW
Hello Amerika. I just came to say goodbye for about the 485th time and tell you my hart is filled with hope today. I hope a herd of wasps depends upon the white house and stings hockey pucks all over that new house boy, Burdock Insane O'Banion. Black irish, my aunt's atoms apple. I hope Joe Burten's dentist develops the hurdy gurdy disease and his monkey gets loose with his drill. (I know you boys like some band called the Dredful Grapes that did some song about that already--heh, heh--I like their big hit Cucumber Blues, myself). In this nukuler age, O'Banion better be careful about the DC chili dogs, cuz I know some good crystucan terrierists in Dallas who have access to a whole lot of them tempater takin things. As my daddy, George Haskell Whimpy Butch the 41st once said, it ain't how yer cuntry gives you the flu, it's what kind of flu you kin give the cuntry. Now that's Amerikan. Anyhow, good luck tryin' to pretend to run the cuntry without me. Dick and I are moving the real seat of the goverment to a big bunker in Amerilo, where we got a full wetback bar-be-ku team workin' 7 hours a day 24 days a year and I can go back to drinkin' jungle juice with Donnie and Al without that twit Lora around changin' the rugs around like most people change their names. It's true you don't have Georgie Porgie to kick around any more, but my coupe de ta tas will come rollin' back in about 3 weeks when you beg to lick my socks so I will come back to save you from the new terrierist menace perpignated by some secret squirrels out of the Baja I fergot to tell you about. So don't worry. I will be here when you need me enough to neal in front of my Barco like you should have already. My new sexreter of state is my ol' butty Idi Amin, and we already have a plan in place to save you from the screamin' whores. Cya soon, pards. George Wallace Butch, the 43rd.
Thanks Rev, just keep them coming...& if you could give me some idea of songs total, & the order, that would be fine too...

Hey,
Can somebody get me the final Mp3 versions of all the tunes off the Brown album so I can get them up here & in iTunes in time for the "official" release?

Guymeister.....it may interest you to know that I am presently working on a Pranksters / Rufus Huff gig here in Louisville with Greg Martin....hoping to pull it off when the weather is a bit warmer.
Dont know any details about Ricky Mason.......I did not personally know him. But i saw more than a few of those Bottom Line/ Saints gigs....(poor Dicky Durlauf). Also grabbed a lot of live performance tips by getting blasted at Johns Louisville Cafe watching Tony Tkac rip off the low E string from his guitar right before "Brown Sugar". Whit belting out "Back Door Man" with that chainsaw voice of his.................I remember pissing off Paul Tkac one night when I dissed Charlie Watts' drumming. Thats three things that will keep your cat up at night......Ricky Feather, Whit Schulz and Charlie Watts!!!!
Hope you guys are doing better .........send me your snail mail and ill get you a shirt and a CD

to dave and corey....thanks for the work on the live cd. it sounds great. who were those bass players? ed somebody and rico somebody. see everyone at the high-da-way tonight.
R.D I was aware of the dueling Greg'z....The last time I saw Tony Bowles (Currently playing in Hank Williams 'Bama Band and Lead guitar for Jimmy Hall's " Prisoners Of Love") I talked to him about this and about times when he used to play in bands in town...part. w/ Kurt Bendel on Bass. Gotta Get a shirt.
Who does your press packet? I would like to have one to show club owners here.
I love all of you folks, but here is a big shout out to my sissa, Mrs Annette B. Stay well and be well. Much love to all. GJL.
Guy, T-shirts are a mere 10 bucks, 5 for a bumper sticker and the live album will eventually be up on the site for download (I think)
Imagine the thrill for us, when a little over a year ago having Greg Martin and Greg Foresmen both jamming with us.
Hey this is for Rufus Huff's Cd release.....not a tour...go to Greg Martins website. Also how much is the Pranksters lp and what media form will it be in. also whaz the prices on prankster gear?
Ben Franklins Tower
Half-Blind Eyes of the World
Touch of Gray (if you have seen those commercials...it should be called "Touch of Gay")
Oh yeah...you folks need to check out Greg Martins new band
"Rufus Huff" Go to his homepage...they are gonna tour soon.
hey...went to the WFPK site and could not find Allana./..but this station that was once classical seems like it has done itself proud as far as promoting the music local music scene...hell when i was there they were playing Capt. Beefheart!
If someone knows how Ricky died at least give me a clue? Jimmy Brown did the eulogy at his funeral. As far as the Dead...well you know how i feel about junkies...there are no 60 year old junkies.....remember the shows? seems like some have lost the values, but kept the weed. I used to love to go to shows...but my last on was Deer Creek in 94' when the "In The Dark" heads stormed the gates. Mahavishnu John Mclaughlin is coming back through town....so you know i am gonna see that one. So what gives in Da'ville....you got lots of snow...seems like you folks have been cold. I really wish I could be in Louisville for a spell...perhaps around Derby time.... The Guymeister
