Man, I hope you had a chance to come to DON'S COCKTAILS this past weekend.
What an amazingly good time! We are making quite a few new friends out there,
and are just excited as hell to be so well received; I mean, there's handsomer bands out there,
but not many who will put as much heart and soul into "Born On The Bayou"!
The next gig is at the Downtown Cafe on Saturday, May 12.
It's an easier show to attend because it starts earlier and ends earlier,
and those of you who are OLD (not us!) can be home and sleeping before midnight!
It's not a bit early to plan your NEW YEARS EVE, and we hope you'll join us at
DON'S COCKTAILS to celebrate!

Hey friends, it's almost time for the Lost Coyotes to play at DON'S COCKTAILS
This coming weekend, which will be Friday AND Saturday nights, April 27-28.
You HAVE to check out this bar. It is one of our favorites to play...

Hey everybody...sorry about the short notice, but recently my life has closely followed the laws of Murphy,
and dealt so many things that happen all at once, with vast amounts of nothingness inbetween.
Some might say, "Feast or famine", or "When it rains, it pours!"
If none of that makes any sense, or even if it does, please feel free to come out to the REGAL
this Saturday night (April 21) to witness one of the most up-and-coming San Diego area bands -
us...yes, you heard right, the Lost Coyotes.
We are nearing that certain level of confidence which borders on obnoxiousness...
and we feel pretty damn sure we can entertain you to your satisfaction. Or at least to our satisfaction.
You'll be saying, afterwards, "Dayamn, that band ain't too shabby!"
Or maybe, "Heck, I could almost do that!"
Or even, "Even the fantastic (your fav band here) cannot compare!"
Just give us a chance...if we don't meet your overly-hyped expectations, we'll gladly refund your cover charge!*

We hope everybody can come out to the Ramona Music Festival at Dos Picos Park,
just outside of Ramona on Saturday, March 31, for a great day of music in the country outdoors.
There's going to be some great bands, and we'll be there too!

Thanks to everybody who came out Saturday night to the Downtown Cafe!
We had a great time and it was evident the crowd did, as well. I could name THANKS all day,
but it would take all night...but in a few words:
THANKS out to our families, old friends, new friends and total strangers...thank you all.
...
As I was setting up (and running late - as usual) who comes up to say "Hi" but former band mate and fantastic drummer from another place and time...Gregg Henning!
Gregg, it was great to see you! I wish there had been more time, regrettably - by the time I had a free minute, guess you had left- I couldn't find you. Hopefully another time soon.
Kelly, I saw you out there, and my oh my but you do look lovely...in seeing you, I struggle to maintain balance just standing there, words again fail me, and perhaps hopelessly, but hoping still for a one in a lifetime chance at the only lottery that really matters...
...
Great to see our ol' buddy Lance there! It had been a few years, so we had some catching up to do between sets...
Lance is a great guy who happens to play drums, so he sat in with us on Mustang Sally. A good time was had...
...
My new roadie, Big Steve from Rabid Llama Productions was helping me out a ton, setting up and taking down gear,
generally making my day easier. So THANKS to you, Big Steve!
...
Next up is DONS COCKTAILS on Friday/Saturday March 23/24 (more on CALENDAR page)
"We love this bar" and the new ownership is especially cool. They have spiffed up the place,
and want to be sure everybody has a good time while there, so come out if you haven't yet, or especially if you have!

As a result of the great turnout at past gigs from all our friends and family, Lost Coyote's fearless leader, Tim E. Tadd
has arranged for us to have another date at the Downtown Cafe in El Cajon - Saturday March 10 at 6:30 PM!
We get to play outside, where the sound is MUCH better than a typical indoors stage; with great food & drink.
Come early, party with Coyoteus Lostus Maximus and still get your lazy asses to bed at a reasonable time!
I think we've added a few more really cool songs, and extended the variety even more...
You won't be disappointed!
So play along, and don't complain. Our first sponsor is really cool - you may have heard of...them...
Stay tuned to the "COYOTES KITCHEN" page for more information on how I managed to apply evolution to these little creatures to make them bigger.
You know, so it will take less of 'em to fill you up.

Another year has blown by, and this New Years Eve, the Lost Coyotes will be ringing in 2012
while happily blasting out some bad-a*s American rock n roll
at the DOWNTOWN CAFE in El Cajon from 6:00 pm to 9:30 pm.
Yes, I know...but lets pretend we're on east coast time for an evening and it'll be great!
November 27, 2011
We had a fun time - and a lot of good friends helped us do it - at the DOWNTOWN CAFE Saturday night!
Despite the normal holiday weekend lag, a surprizing number of our most dedicated friends and family made it out.
So, THANK YOU all, and you know who you are!
Yes, boys and girls, it's time for my annual year's-end ramble!
The past couple of years have been (mostly) a blast for this band, and we're always
grateful for our friends and family who often go out of their way to support us.
We truly can't thank you enough.
When we re-formed the Lost Coyotes in - what was it, 2009? Holy cow...anyway, we were a
three piece band, just happy to play music together again - and would have done it for nothing other than that.
With Tim's leadership, and with the addition of Jim Nau (acoustic & electric 6 & 12 string guitars, keyboards)
about a year into it, we were driven to be a better, more disciplined band, and have challenged
ourselves to learn songs which we hadn't considered, prior. We have expanded our list into a diversity that is borderline weird...
where else can you hear a Robin Trower song followed by Dwight Yokam - then Santana?
...Just because we're older doesn't mean we're done growing...and our goal is to be as good a band as we can be.
Tim is retired from the 9 to 5 'day job' grind (and yes, he earned it) but he brought his outstanding work ethic
with him into this band. Robert, Jim and myself are no strangers to hard work either,
and I am sure that we can accomplish whatever we decide to do.
Let me clear something up: By referring to Tim E. Tadd as "The Boss", I don't mean that in any negative way.
He ain't a tyrant...we all have a say in any band matter, but he does the all the unsung dirty work;
he is the booker (a true challenge to the even the most saintly & patient, and a logistical nightmare in itself),
the set arranger, the deciding vote, and mostly-
Tim is the one who keeps us on track to really be as good as we can be.
I'll stand by that, and I know R.B. and Jim are with me as well.
We loves our Tim E Tadd, and you CAN'T HAVE HIM!
We will be adding new material and probably even a couple new places to play in 2012.
Once again, THANK YOU to everybody who has supported us,
and know that we know that we wouldn't be much without you.
Here's to a happy and healthy 2012, everybody.
"Long May You Run"

Hey sports fans! How about those Packers?This Saturday, November 19, 2011 we will be playing a private party...
October 26, 2011
CHEERS in Ramona is next Saturday night, November 5, so git yer butts on out to Ramona and help us tear it up!
We could use some additional support up here...
Ramona is not known as a big, "Hey, let's go out to see a band..." town.
No, quite the contrary...which has nearly caused the demise, several times, of any live music venues there.
Whatdowehavetado? Give away free T-shirts to get y'all out here?
Well, maybe...
The BOO Parade & Carnival was a huge success and a lot of fun!
Thanks to the hard work and determination of Lillian Palmer, who, as best I can tell, masterminded the event.
There was a LOT of stuff going on, and without her coordination it could have been...not so good.
There was a great turnout of all ages! Lots of fun stuff for kids and everybody.
We got to help out with some music, and we had a great time doing it.
We would like to also thank John Roy Sound Contractor, for the tremendous job running sound,
doing announcements, and making us sound darn good.
Looking forward to next year's event!

Friends & Family, we'll have the honor and pleasure of playing at the

We have another show at our favorite place to play,
...The Downtown Cafe... on September 16.
Folks, this is a cool place to be!...and I don't usually even go OUT unless I am working.
So...yes, I would go there even if I wasn't working there.
THAT should convince anybody, right?

In loving memory of Mom, who would have been 77 today -
We love you and miss you, always.

This is obviously not an obituary photo, but instead an image that shows mom in health and beauty; with her entire future ahead and unknown.

Rest In Peace
Apparently I was able to "fix" the calendar, so all the stuff I wrote below, yesterday,
was a total waste of my brain's somewhat limited resources...and I now know why I'm tired today.
I'm gonna take a nap, now.

DOWNTOWN CAFE - August19 - START TIME - TO BE DETERMINED
August 1, 2011
Upcoming...Saturday, August 6th at CHEERS in Ramona...9PM - 1AM...come on down,
help us keep live music alive on a Small Town Saturday Night!
Not making any promises, but I know for a fact that Hal Ketchum has been known to show up at Cheers*
In fact the last time I talked with him was at this bar.
*While this is entirely true, it doesn't necessarily mean he will be there this Saturday night.
Just in case he is, we are prepared to cover at least one of his biggest hits!
OK, I am done rambling here for now, but please - grab anybody you can stand and come out on Saturday night. Though the economic times are tough, my heart is not troubled because our government has shown us the way...(?)
So let's show our faith in the government by following their example!
When you're out of money, can't afford any luxuries and can't even pay the bills, just go borrow as much as you can, and spend, spend, spend! Not on important stuff, either...just have a fricking ball!
Prosperity is inevitable!
:)
July 24, 2011
We'll be playing the Ramona fair next Sunday, July 31 - for a set. Then we'll be at CHEERS the following weekend.
June 23, 2011
The Lost Coyotes are excited to return to Cheers in Ramona this Saturday, June 25.
Come enjoy a burger and howl with the Coyotes! The music starts at 9:00...
Bob and Gail: we've added a Cha-cha* and a waltz*, so bring your dancin shoes! See ya Saturday!!
*editor's trivia of the week: The Heimlich maneuver was conceived during the prohibition as an ideal way to relieve anxiety.
It was a cross between the cha-cha, the waltz and just a tiny little part of the tango...
Only much later was it discovered to have the added benefit of keeping a choking person alive.
When done properly and while drinking a genuine Coca-Cola, which- as you may know- contained actual heroin or something,
people using it described feeling giddy or elated, then, quite surprisingly... depressed, and later still - embalmed.

Howdy all y'all Lost Coyotes,
We have another "new" gig coming fast, and it is as follows:
THE REGAL
8344 La Mesa Blvd in downtown La Mesa
June 11, 9 pm
Hats off to Tim E. Tadd - he has been working his way through all the finer places to play
around the county, lookin' for some gigs that mangy old Lost Coyotes could be proud of.
(Ended that sentence with a preposition, did I?)
I know it's a slow and tedious process...and...well, let's just leave it at that.
So when he lands one, like THE REGAL...why, it just goes to show how really cool the management is there,
the extraordinary taste they must possess, and just what a neato place to party it must be!
As it goes, we have but ONE chance to make a first impression.
We're counting on YOU friends, to come out and help support the band.
We'll be raffling off a 1970's vintage toaster oven, a broken fax/copy machine and a new Cadillac!!!
May 25, 2011
This Saturday night - May 28 - at CHEERS in Ramona!
Folks, we're getting a sort of a reputation here at CHEERS, as a band that delivers -
and it doesn't hurt our feelings a bit...
and of course the reason we're enjoying an amount of success is because of all you
great family and friends who somehow manage to come out for us here!
I know times are hard and money's tight... but this is Ramona,
and there really ain't nothing else to do anyways...so git yer butts on over here!
Cheers has a really great menu - and is especially known for their burgers, which actually won a contest as
"Best Burger in San Diego" or maybe it was "Best burger in the World"...I guess you can decide for yourselves.
Our thoughts are with those involved in the tragedy in Joplin, and again...
time to call the AMERICAN RED CROSS at 1-800-733-2767
and do what we can.
May 21, 2011
As a result of the great turnout from all our wonderful friends and family, Lost Coyote's fearless leader
Tim E. Tadd has arranged for us to have another date, for the Downtown Cafe in ElCajon
We get to play outside, where the sound is MUCH better than a typical indoors stage; with great food & drink.
Best of all, a real family atmosphere...I even saw my 5 month old great niece, Olivia there!
Cuter than a basket full of puppies!
