Lost Coyotes©

 

 Last updated:  December 28, 2011

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!

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 boarderline 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.

Hey sports fans! How about those Packers?

But the reality is this: I just realize how much I don't know.

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!

SEPTEMBER 3, 2011

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.

    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.

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!

:)

 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.
