Trinity's: Waynesburg, PA

Cool club, nice folks. Most of the people in attendance had never seen us before. That's always fun for me, VIRGINS !!!!!!! Good friend, Larry the Kidman sang "Dead Flowers" with us. John sang "Crossroads". Other than those two highlights, it was me and my boys playing Pittsburgh rock all night long. We sent out a new tune "Son Of A Gun", to local celebrity Bobby Moore.

Moondogs: Blanox, PA

Our show this evening was short and sweet: "Boilermaker", "Somethins Cookin", "We Come A Long Way", "Hells Highway", "Son Of A Gun", and a few old Tiger tunes.Tonight was about Gary Beloma and the Blues Bombers, we were proud to be on the show the night of their new CD release party. Gary sounded great, as he has for the past 30 years or so. Soloists Frank Giovi on guitar and Chris Patterini on sax ripped. Ole friend Don on bass was solid as a rock.
