Nah, not every song, I'd be too out of breath to sing! Probably 3 or 4 times a 10-12 song set, if that. Mainly at big song kick-ins or outros.

This makes a nice pairing with the "Can Spud Webb still dunk?" article I read earlier. Chalk up another victory over gravity for the old guys!Gettin' some air at last night's show. Not bad for a decrepit old geezer!

Lol actually I don't have a very recent image at the ready. I'll post this video instead that I'm working on, work in progress. Need to add vox and solos still.

Eh, what the heck. I haven't been here in a while. This is from a festival last month. I haven't had a haircut in almost two years. We'll see how long my wife puts up with it.

Dude, opening for Lady Antebellum? BIG TIME!
Advanced Fretter
It was cool. We're definitely not "big time". I actually only met Charles Kelly from Lady Antebellum (a band I don't care for). Hillary was incredibly pregnant and not socializing at all. Their band was really tight and a bunch of gear heads. Of course, we played that show, then played at some dirty bar for 20 people the following night. That definitely puts your ego back in check.

Ahh, the reality of living in an age where seemingly many people mainly listen to music on a computer, and go out to clubs just to hear recordings.
I'm not a fan of Lady Antebellum either (even putting aside the cringingly bad band name choice, haha!), but still it's a resume' line!

Jeez, Dee - that was a scary picture!

Nice man cave, but those pesky flies have to go!

Steve, What happened to the fly that took that picture? I hope his camera didn't get busted...(where is that big toothy grin smiley when you need it?)
Regular Fretter
I don't know why I looked so angry. It was a fun gig at a car show.

This was part of some promo pics we tried taking recently:

That does look like fun. I wish we could play places like that -- most of our time is spent in muddy bars with dim lighting.

It was fun. I'll post some pics of the McLaren F1 and the '62 Aston Martin that were in front of us.
That pic of your band playing the bar looks like a lot of fun too though.
Ideally, we'd play a lot of outdoor festivals and park concerts as those pay well and would be fun.
