Dave Says,

The Weal of Fortune tilts our way this Thursday as we welcome back Mr. Willie Alexander  to our  stage at the Rhumb Line. The ineffable Willie, the Godfather of Punk, is going to help us all work out on those parallel universe bars, and perhaps reach Valhalla with minutes to spare. Jump up!
Backing him up is his long time gritarist, Mr. Billy Loosigian, who’s been in therapy since waking up with an overwhelming desire to become an insurance salesman. Help him out! As usual, Greg T., pool boy and raconteur will be filling in the cracks, Mr. Steevie Chaggaris , he of the Napalmolive hairdo, will be doin’ the eggbeatin’ and myself, on  third base, will be lookin’ forward to comin’ home. We’re all battin’ .350!

And then, this Sunday, I’ll be dragging the Geezerz® up to Glenn’s Cool Bar and Restaurant in Nbpt. for our debut gig. This is important for us! For those of you who’ve been sleeping under a rock, The Geezerz®, aka Dave Sag’s Atomic Cocktail, is my favorite unit of all time. Consisting of Dave Brown, slide shaman, Greg T., Speedy West glitarist, Meselph, and David Mattacks, on Skins. Unfortunately, Dave M. is recuperating from back surgery (really!) so Mr. Andrew Jones, a student of his will be filling some mighty big shoes.General Curtis “Lemay” Haines ,the Pope of Nbpt.will serve as  our congenial host and will be tinklin’ the ivories. Glenn’s is the best restaurant  I’ve ever thrown up in and I’m glad to be there doin’ my thing. But seriously, folks, Glenn’s is a fabulous bistro. The food, the people ,the music, and the sightlines are the best!.Peel your ass off the bridge and drive the lousy 45 minutes up there… it’s really worth it. Ya gotta make reservations or you won’t get in. See ya then!!
