    Wanted: Musicians ;^)
    
    
    	Two budding songwriters are looking to form a band to perform
    original music. We are:
    
    Alan Starr - Vocals & Guitar
    Tom Gallo - Guitar/Bass/Vocals
    
    	He writes mostly words and I write the music. 
    
    	The songs range from pringsteen-eqse to Pop Metal. If you
    	heard the Guitarnotes II tape, you three of our songs.
    
    	We're looking for the following musicians:
    
    
    	1. Verstatile bassist 
    
    		- I'll be playing mostly rhythm guitar in this band, but would
    	          like to play some bass as well. If you can play guitar
    		  and bass or keys and bass it would be *ideal*.
    
    	2. "Lead" guitarist
    
    		- Neither Alan or I have "lead" chops. We need someone who
    	          has some verstatility of style. 
    
    	3. Drummer
    
    	
    	4. Keyboards
    
    		- Again if you can do keys/bass it would be great. 
    
    
    	As always, vocals are a plus. Alan will do the "lead" vocals, but 
    	we'd like to add strong harmony vocals to our songs. 
    
    	We have a rehearsal space, in Hillsboro NH, which is quite a drive,
    	so if you have one in the So. NH, or in Mass, it would be great!
    
    	Lastly, this is not a "serious" band. We're not looking to make it
    	big, just get a few gigs and have a good time and maybe record.
    
    
    If your interested, send me mail at: guru::tomg
     
    

       I would like to get into a band, or start a band that is 
    Alternative oriented. I would like to be playing out at the clubs
    again and having fun - In between all the work...

       I am looking for something I can be challenged at. It would be
    All original music, with the exception of re-writing/arranging music.
    I have experience playing in the clubs; Channel, Rat, Etc... and also
    have studio recording experience.

       My roots have been in rock (sort of by default), and R&B - but not
    limited to that. I'm constantly learning new things to enhance my ability.

       My style is pretty variable at the moment. Most of the bands
    that I have played in have been Rock, R&B Rock, & slightly Alternative
    rock. My playing includes Picking, Finger style, Slap/Popping, and a
    small amount of Tapping. At the moment, my strongest points are Finger-
    style and Picking.

       My listening is kind of broad. I'm usually tuned into the 'FNX/BRU
    stations. Or listing to some Jazz/Fusion, or something by the Hoodoo -
    Guru's, or The Oyster band, or what ever. I tend to do alot of station 
    changing.

       The music that I do has been described as Avant garde, Alternative,
    Rock, Funk - Not really specific sounding... Probably related to my 
    choice in listening.

     *** As a side note: At this year's DECJam '91, I will be playing in a
           a band called "The Earth Movers". It's an -All Bass- band 
           including drums. It should be quite the blast!

   My Equipment:
    
       I am currently using two basses: Washburn XS-4 - Mostly used for 
   it's brightness, clarity, and good low end. Also - a modified G&L bass - 
   Used for hammering, and kind of Fender sound.

       For amplification I am using and SWR SM-400 amp with an SWR Goliath 
   4x10 cab. It's cool...It can hold it's weight.
    
    
           Other Equipment:
    
                Rickenbacker 4001 bass - Modified
                Dean Baby-Z guitar
                Other Non collectable cheap guitars and basses for fun.
                Traynor 40-watt practice amp.
                Tascam 246 four-track.
                Rocktron 360 stereo compressor.
                Junk.

        I live in the Maynard area, but I will travel to Worcester or Boston;
    and might travel to southern New Hampster  

    
    Anyway... If there is something happening here, give me a buzz.
    
    I can be reached at the following:

Band Member Needed!

SEE NO EVIL is losing its rhythm guitarist/saxophonist (amicable split - 
he's moving to Florida). We're seeking a replacement member, either a
keyboardist, guitarist, or saxophonist. The ideal candidate would be able
to fulfill two (or even all three!) of those roles, but we're more than
willing to talk to anyone who might be interested.

SEE NO EVIL is a rock cover band, playing a variety of music from the 50s
through today, centering on upbeat, danceable rock songs. We're currently
gigging 1-2 weekends a month (with plans to boost that to 2-3 weekends a 
month), both nightclubs and a variety of functions. (Our next booked gig 
is for Thanksgiving weekend, and the new member must be found by then.)

We are based in the Haverhill (MA)/Salem (NH) area. Rehearsals (once the 
new member is caught up) are once a week for 2-3 hours. We have rehearsal
space and PA. Vocals are a plus, but not required. Professionalism is 
required, but we're also an easygoing bunch, and its fun for all of us. 

For more informations, drop me some mail or give me a call:

There's that "Serious" word again.  :)

Anyway, I don't know of any singers around here - 
I'd recommend hanging out at The Gardens and trolling
for singers...

Also, stick an add up in ProSound and Rice music.

Also, go over to the sleazoid club under/in The Marriot...  There is
a dood in there who DJ's named "Jake", and he's got an AWESOME
voice (ala Geoff Tate) - *AND* "the look".  Tell him I sent ya...

    Brian's Band is among the homeless right now, but basically they're

    RE: C.D. 
    
    Sorry about not putting the location.It was Clinton Ma. But as Buck said, 
    as of Sunday March 1st we became homeless. The place we were playing 
    Underground Entertainment aparently went under. No lights, no
    electricity, no phone.... oh ya how could I forget.....the owner
    cleared out all his stuff to boot. I'll keep everyone posted.

    Guitar-noters..help!
    
    Our drummer recently resigned, citing "new priorities" as his
    reason, and I say that "priority" is a real funny word for that
    big iron ball chained to his ankle...
    
    Can anyone recommend a drummer that is tight, tasty, and willing
    to commute to southern NH once a week for rehearsal?  I put an
    ad in DRUMS but the answers have not been forthcoming.
    
    The band's sound is decidedly more pop/rock, so while we'd certainly
    be impressed with Neil Peart sound-alikes, we need more of a
    Steve Gadd meets Stewart Copeland meets Liberty Devito meets
    Mick Fleetwood style of player.
    
    Your help is appreciated...

		**DRUMMER NEEDED FOR BAND**

	We are currently scheduling auditions for a creative, powerful
	responsible drummer!! We are more interested in your ATTITUDE
	than your Neal Peart or Alan White Style!!

	The band is an ALL original, established, high-energy F.M.
	rock act that has airplay and gigs!! We are very serious 
	indiviuals who treat the band as a business FIRST and
	relationship second! Meaning we have an ACTION plan versus
	just becoming another rock band from New England! 

	We are currently in the studio and hope to release to the
	A&R folks, promoters, radio stations a C.D. by mid May!

	We have a C.D. quality demo cassette that is being aired on
	several college and rock radio staions thru out New England.
	
	The band has been together for almost 2 years, in which time 
	we've replaced the drummers twice for lack of understanding
	what it really takes and others for personal problems that they
	could not resolve thus they were asked to leave!

	What we are looking for is a drummer [preferably with vocal ability]
	to learn the demo tape verbatim, THEN sit down with us and once given
	a basic melodic structure to the tune CAN dish-out some melodic
	chops that are solid, creative, and powerful!!
	We're not insisting on a Neal P type of indiviual -BUT rather your
	attitude towards the band and the MUSIC is much more IMPORTANT!!

	We're not a heavy metal type act--we're more the type act that 
	you would definitely hear on WAAF and the like. We're not thrash or
	grunge rock, we're mainstream rock/hardrock that has hooks/melodies
	in order to be marketable and distributable !!

	I write/arrange/produce etc... all the material and if I had to choose
	groups/artists that influence me--I'd have to say RUSH, TRIUMPH, 
	DEEP PURPLE/RAINBOW, SCORPIONS, BOSTON, KANSAS, YES, and the newer
	acts such as FIREHOUSE, WARRANT, TESLA, etc...

	SO ther you have it! 

	UNLESS YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT DRUMMING FOR A BAND THAT IS DEFINETLY
	GOING TO GET SIGNED AND YOU HAVE GOOD CHOPS/TIMING 
			
				DO NOT WASTE MY TIME OR YOURS!

	We rehearse in Hudson N.H. and I commute to Marlboro Ma. every day
	so if you're serious enough about what you want to do as a drummer
	and you're not going to let things like the [COMMUTE to practice]
	bother your decision to succeed
							THEN CALL ME

   Experienced guitar/bassist seeking band or other musicians who desire to
   form a band in the Colorado Springs area.  I play both bass and guitar
   (electric and acoustic), have equipment for both needs, and have been
   playing about 18 years.  I've most recently played in the blues and R&B
   style, but pride myself on the diversity of styles I can cover.  I'd be
   willing to play anything from rock to jazz to blues to country.  I can
   sing well enough for backup vocals, including harmonies, but not quite
   well enough to be the front man.  Am willing to get into a "playing out"
   situation or simply a hobby band, depending on the overall feeling of the
   other members.

   In addition to the "normal" equipment I also have a small (400w) PA, mics,
   at this time a couple of extra amps (they'll be for sale soon though), a
   pickup truck to haul everything in, and a lot of enthusiasm.  I also have
   enough space at my house in Woodland Park to support "limited" practices
   (eg, I've got neighbors, so "not TOO loud").  If you'd like to get
   together for either a band tryout or a jam please get in touch.  I can be
   reached at ZYMRGY::sam or SSDEVO::LAMBERT, (dtn) 522-3754 (prefer mail),
   or evenings at (719) 687-1920 after 6pm MST - remember, I'm in Colorado.

   Hoping to hear from y'all soon,

			KEYBOARDIST WANTED!!!
			---------------------

See No Evil, a working cover band based out of Salem, NH, is seeking to add
a keyboardist to their current lineup (singer, 2 guitars, bass, drum). We
play a variety of music from the 50's-90's, centering on what we like to
call "dance-oriented rock". Bands we cover include Black Crowes, Eric Clapton,
Stevie Ray Vaughn, Allman Brothers, REM, U2, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Eddie 
Money, Romantics, Robert Palmer, etc. etc.

The band keeps fairly busy, playing up to 10-12 shows a month (although we 
prefer a little less, and try to keep at least one weekend a month open). 
Gigs are mostly in the MA/NH border area, but we occasionally travel a little 
further out (ie. Hampton/Salisbury Beach and Gloucester in the summer, North
Conway in the winter). Gigs are mostly on weekends, but also some Thursday 
and Sunday nights. We have bookings as far ahead as Thanksgiving at this point.
We work with some agents, but do the majority of it ourselves.

Practices tend to be once a week, just to learn new songs. These are in
Salem, NH. However, we may be willing to move it to your place, if you
desire and have the space. 

We have a small PA that is adequate for now, although it will need to be 
upgraded sometime in the near future.

The band is run as a democracy, everything from song choice to gig selection.
There's no "leader", and whomever joins will come in as an equal, not as a 
"junior partner"!

We are a bar band, not a GB band, and this isn't a band to get rich from. 
But at the same time, we make ok money, and its getting better all the time.
But keep in mind that we do this for FUN, not as a business!

We're looking for someone who has a fairly professional attitude, while not
going overboard (we try to get things right, but we're not perfectionists).
Chops are required of course, but you don't necessarily have to be Keith 
Emerson - willingness to work, personality, the right attitude, and common 
goals will go a lot further with us than just being an *awesome* player. 

Vocal ability is almost a MUST. Truth be told, we are a bit weak in this
area with our current members, and any new member added will be required
to sing background harmonies.

Previous band experience is a big plus, but not required.

    Hi...I'm a guitarist who is looking for other musicians to jam but
    mostly to start a "christian rock" band.Style is more on the
    Stryper,Petra style.
                                                           Paul

    I just spoke to a fellow I met a few weeks ago at a jam, and he tells
    me his band is looking for a bass player. I told him I'd be interested
    in subbing but not as a regular. He's a C&W picker, 30 something. I
    never heard his band but I saw him play at the blues jam. He only
    played chords, but he used some pretty advanced chords leading me to
    believe the guy is probably pretty good. 
    
    So if any of youse guys are interested, he's Mike LaBreque of Concord
    NH. The typrically play in the Concord - Manchester and Central NH area 
    so if your interested give him a call at (508)746-3916. I told him I'd
    put this out on the net for him.
    
    "sakman" (he knows me as Dave, BTW)

    re . 44 
    
    Whoops, thats (603)746-3916, not (508)!

How do you Talk to an Angel? NOT!
---------------------------------

Hey Kiddies! Have you seen the new Fox TV hit "The Heights"? Well we have a
band  going just like that one. Except we aren't good looking. And we don't lip
sync.  And there are only 2 of us. And there's no sexual tension in the band.
And we  don't live in the city. And we're not 22. And we play alternative music 
instead of pablum.

Actually, we are an acoustic guitarist and female vocalist who are looking for
a  percussionist and/or another acoustic guitarist (backing vocals and song
writing  are pluses) for acoustic alternative band.

Our influences include REM, Violent Femmes, Cure, Talking Heads. We also play 
originals and have practice space in Pepperell MA.

BASSIST WANTED
------- ------

Guitar player and drummer based in the Colorado Springs area putting
together an alternative band and need a bass player to get things
rolling.  The basic musical style would include songs by The
Godfathers, The Smithereens, Devo, The Lemonheads, Midnight Oil, The
Replacements, etc.  We will also be mixing original material in with 
the covers.

We're prepared to play as a three piece, even though we'd eventually
like to add either a keyboard player or another guitarist, so our
immediate need is a bass player.  Every ad looking for musicians says
this, so I'll restate the obvious...vocals are a plus.

We're hoping to be ready to start playing out in clubs sometime this
summer.  We currently rehearse once a week, but expect that to
increase somewhat as our repertoire builds and we get closer to being
ready to gig.

This is a fun project for both of us and we're not planning on
depending on it as a source of income.  This way we can play whatever
we want to and enjoy ourselves doing it.  We're playing music because
we love doing it and don't take ourselves too seriously. 

If you're a bass player who has a similar attitude and interest, or
know someone who does, please contact me, Greg House, at GOES11::G_HOUSE 
or DTN 522-2861 during the day.

    	KEYBOARDIST/SINGER WANTED FOR ROCK/CLASSIC ROCK/R&B BAND.

	We're looking for a talented keyboard player with a willingness to

	and improving our sound.  Vocal ability, either lead or backup would 
	be a valued asset.

	Rehearsals are typically once a week in Westford, MA.  Gigs will all 
	be local to Westford, within about an hour's drive.

	The songlist currently includes SONGS BY Steve Winwood, Robert Palmer,
	Miles, Bette Midler, Linda Rodnstadt, Beatles, Rascals, Lynyrd Skynyrd,
	Bob Seger, Dire Straits, Savoy Brown, Stones, Grateful Dead, Talking 
	Heads, James Brown, Eddie Floyd, Blues Bros, Temptations, Isley Bros, 
	Chuck Berry and others.

	The goal of this band is to play some good music and have fun.   We
	plan to work club gigs. We'll also play parties, picnics, and any other
	functions where the gig fits the band. 

	The current lineup includes:  

		lead vocalist (female)/rhythm guitarist
	        lead vocalist (male)/lead and rhythm guitarist
	        lead guitarist/backing and lead vocals
	        bassist/backing and lead vocals

    re:-2 and my "smooth vocals"...
    	Thanks for saying that...you're very kind!
    	My schedule has been sooo hectic with the band (and work and life
    and an ongoing tuesday night commitment...) that it's pretty hard for
    me to get up to Nashua's "Blind Willies Pub jam"...but I'm really glad
    I made it there...I had a ball! DEC has SO MANY GREAT PLAYERS! If I get
    the chance to do it again I DEFINATELY will...
    	But here's an open invite...Come on out and see The Charlie Dee
    Blues Band at one of our regular gigs...(like the Sit-n-Bull Pub in
    Maynard next Thursday Sept 9...) The wide range of Blues styles covered
    within a night will absolutely blow your mind...

    		We're still looking for a bass player, interested in
    joining up with a committed, working blues band (whose manager just

    	THE CHARLIE DEE BLUES BAND is STILL looking for a new BASS player.
	But we don't want "just a BASS player"...We hope to welcome a NEW
    creative force into THE CHARLIE DEE BLUES BAND!    
    	In addition to our heavy gigging schedule, we have been getting lots of
    exposure (Press, Radio and TV) and are SERIOUS about our music.
	We have gigs scheduled for almost every weekend through the end of the
    year (including another show with Luther "Guitar Jr" Johnson on Oct 11th!)
    and then we're  planning on going to the studio to record/release our first
    CD! (We now have financial backing...)



    	If you are a Bass player who:
    IS into BLUES music...
    HAS a desire to be Funky...
    WANTS to join a winning team with a working band....

    I'm looking for a volunteer or two to run sound for a folk concert 
    at the Nashua YW/YMCA on Friday, October 22.  I'll be performing
    (voice and acoustic guitar) for about an hour, and there'll be some 
    speakers.  The event is to benefit NOW and the YWCA, with a special
    emphasis on providing financial support for a group of battered
    women who are in jail for killing their abusive mates.
    
    I have equipment (mics, amps, mixer, speakers), but if you could bring
    some or all, that would be wonderful.  (Does anyone else find themselves
    too pooped to play after lugging in and setting up equipment?)
    Some experience running sound would be grand, but I'd say support
    for the cause and general enthusiasm would make up for lack of experience.
    
    If you're interested in helping out with this, let me know.  The
    concert/Event will run from about 8 to 10, so set up would start 
    around 6:00.  It's going to be in a gym, so I'm a little worried about 
    feedback, but I figure I can go without monitors or maybe send only my 
    guitar pickup to the monitor (not the mic, since it's usually the guitar 
    mic that causes feedback if anything does.)
    
    I'm not getting paid for this gig, so I really can't pay you, but maybe
    we can work something out (like I could run sound for you sometime or 
    do some recording for you.  If I get 2 sound volunteers, I'd like to
    record this gig)  Let's talk.

    Looking for a guitarist with solid (sloid?) C & W experience, strong
    vocals a definite plus.  The lead singer/bass player has released a CD
    and some cassettes, does current and older stuff, plus some originals.  
    
    The group consists of bass, piano, drums, and guitar.  Some steel would
    be acceptable, but main focus is guitar.  The band plays clubs and
    functions on an average of 1 - 3 nites a week.   
    
    Call Carl Layton (that's me, I'm the sound guy) at dtn 285-3279 or at
    SALEM::LAYTON.  Don't send to EMMFG, I don't use this node regularly.
    
    Oh, yeah, the band works out of north central Mass, does jobs in Mass
    and NH primarily, with occasional forays to Maine (try to keep the ride
    to less than 2 hours.)  

    re: -1
    
    What if I can't play keyboard, can't sing, and live 600 miles away,
    have no time to play in a band, but would really like to?  Should I
    apply?

    Bass player needed for very part-time gb/top-40/classic hits band.
    Band features exceptional female lead vocals and rehearses once a
    week with an eye on planning functions for money and rock and roll
    for fun. Some of the many artists covered include (not in any
    particular
    order) Bette Midler, Aerosmith, Whitney Houston, Allman Bros., Mariah
    Carey, Extreme, 10,000 Maniacs, Spin Doctors, etc., etc.

    I'm looking for someone to play acoustic guitar with on an informal
basis. Someone who sings too would be great (since I can't sing a note).
I like playing songs from the Beatles, Tom Petty, REM, Cat Stevens,
Bob Marley, Boston, Violent Femmes, and many others. I've learned most
of what I play from listening to and playing along to CDs.

    I'm mainly interested in getting technically better at playing,
and learning new songs. Currently, I have both a 12-string acoustic
and a 6-string acoustic/electric.

I'm 31 years old and I live in the Nashua NH area.

	Keyboard Player Wanted
	----------------------

Our band is looking for a new keyboard player. Vocal ability is
a plus but not require. We do a mix of classic rock, blues and R&B.
We normally practice one night per week,  and  we're  looking to
gig one or two times per month. We have a PA for vocals and practice
space at my house in Marlboro (no rent).

Our current line-up is:

	Rhythm Guitar/Vocalist
	Lead Guitar/Vocalist
	Bass
	Drums

We are all involved in this musical project more for enjoyment
than money, and we are not trying to 'make it' as pro musicians,
but we are also committed to putting in the effort to develop a
very good, tight sound.

If you are interested or know of some one who may be interested
please, I will give you more details about the band. You should
have your own equipment and transportation.

    Looking for a bass player for that world tour you've scheduled?
    Ever wonder what you'd sound like with a bass backup?
    Did your present bassist get lost on the way to the men's room?

    Give me a call!

    I'm always looking for people to play with.  I've played rock, folk,
    country, cocktail jazz and several styles I can't describe.  In other
    words, I'm flexible.  I mostly play electric, but could dust off my
    double bass in a pinch.  I live in Salem, NH, USA, and have equipment,
    wheels, a small PA and a good attitude.

    Or put me on your band's mailing list (North American bands only,
    please).  I may come to one of your gigs.

    Or, just tuck my name away for future reference.  You never know when
    you'll need those low frequencies.

 Looking for a guitarist or bassist to reform our band that just lost
the drummer (that sounds weird, but I have some possibilities there
already). We may lose the guitarist, for he may not be able to commit to 
a rental agreement 8^(. After having said that, one of our goals is to
have the band pay for itself by working. Vocals are not mandatory, but
if you have a decent voice nobody's going to hold you back!

 We are 98% original and are working to be a semi-alternative band (in
a melodic sense, not that slamming/noisey type stuff). We have just
finished six songs at a 16-track studio in Providence RI, and plan to
target that area initially for gigs and record there again. We are
prone to playing anywhere/everywhere we can.

 The basic arrangement would be 3 or 4 piece with our singer playing
some keys here and there (he plays a Roland Axis, that guitar-shaped
thing that has weird black&white levers on it %^). The best location for
rehearsals is central MA, say Worcester, as we live south and west of
this city. This is a workable issue tho.

 I'm leaving out style on purpose, for I'm not sure how to classify the
latest stuff. But, whoever we hook up with will make it different anyway.
Basically, we have some ideas and the group makes it happen. Our goals
are to have FUN and be focused, playing consistently even when a fellow
band-mate body-slams you because you were staring at the ceiling for too
long (we like to mix it up a bit and keep it moving %^).

I'll be off the Digital network next week, please use my home number
below after October 1st. Feel free to pass this on to anyone who might
be interested (musically, that is, no more food-service references %^).

I'm putting together a three piece alternative band and need a great bassist. If
you've got vocal, that's a real plus. 
We're doing: Greenday, PJ, REM, SpinDr, Offsp, Live, Meat Puppets, etc... all
the good stuff along with a few originals. Rehearsal and studio space in
Princeton MA. Looking to gig in MetWest, some Boston/North. 30s, chops, hi tech
eq, fun, serious w/club int. We like R day gigs, U2. B serious.

    Whiskey Dix, a four piece alternative band is looking for a rhythm
    guitar to fill out our sound.  We play all originals with some obscure
    covers thrown in for good measure.  The band has been together for
    about two years (gigging for about 1 year) and have just recently added
    a lead singer.  We have rehearsal and studio space in Groton.  We usually 
    practice once a week and play out (Causeway, MiddleEast, Rat, TTs etc...) 
    once a month or so.   
    
    While we are serious about the music our main intent is to have fun and
    drink a few beers.  We have no delusionns of grandeur and egos are
    pretty much kept in check.
    
    We have a longer term goal to put together three or four FNX type cover
    sets to enable us to play parties and some dance clubs.
    
    If you (or someone you know) are interested in auditioning give me a
    call.

        more.

	Versatile Keyboard player wanted
	================================
	Startup Rock band consisting of 2 guitars, bass, and drums seeking 
	keyboard player to complete the lineup.

	This is to be a fun band playing tunes we want to play that will
	also let the audience have a great time!  Just about any type of 
	music is up for grabs as long it's fun to play and party to.  The
	age range is on the youthful side of the 40's so feel free to
	assume what types of music we're not into.

	We're looking to be groove oriented band with a lot of dynamics
	and interplay.  We listen to and play off each other so you
	should be the type who will let a 4 minute song go 10 minutes
	if that's what feels right.

	Strict covers will be rare.  Anything past the signature riff
	is open game.  Over time, "our style" will come out.

	You should be all set in the equipment department and it would
	be a major plus if you also sing.  Practices (Chelmsford) have 
	been once a week and we'd like to be gig ready by Memorial Day.  
	We'd like to play out one or two weekends a month.  

	There are lots of laughs when we get together and that's the
	attitude we'd like to take to the stage.

   be able to help much if you contact me...


"Ruff Cut" needs a new Bass Player.

The band works quite a bit.  Material is of the Rock/Classic
Rock venue.  They keep pretty busy, so if any bass players
are looking to work, call Al at 1-508-534-8989 (this is where 
Al works, {action music in Leominster} and he doesn't work on 
Fridays)

RODEO CLOWNS has an emergency. Our lead guitarist has had a gallbladder 
attack and is going into surgery tomorrow morning. We need a fill-in
lead guitarist for a benefit gig this Friday night.

The gig is a benefit for OUTREACH. All proceeds will
go to the homeless..The band has donated our time, the church putting on 
the benefit has paid $150. for the HUDSON ELKS hall(Hudson,Ma) and wives 
have bought
light snacks and refreshments for the event. A line dance instructor has 
also given her time for the evening. Tickets have been sold and basically 
, WE're STUCK!

If there are any lead guitarists out there not doing anything
this Friday night from 7:30-11:30PM that could wing the evening with us.. 
We'd be grateful....If $$$ is an issue, we could work something 
out..HELP..

management team who handle all the bookings so that we can concentrate
on the music.  We play out an average of two weekends per month with a
