Welcome to the New Year!

1/12/08 Playa del Carmen, Mexico

Well everyone it has been awhile since we have posted a "from the road", so long that the "from the road" now has a new look! Ed left off sometime just before Thanksgiving. Since then we have been to St Louis, Joliet, Peoria, Davenport, Bloomington, Chicago, back to Joliet for NYE and then we flew down to Florida for the Simple Man Cruise, and the band has started a three week residency at the NV Ultra Lounge in Normal. Thanks to everyone who came out to the Holiday Jamboree as well as all of the musicians who participated. 2nd Annual Jamboree was a success, Thanks to Kim Anderson for putting it all together. From what I can remember NYE was madness, especially the Ramada INN across the parking lot! Anyone who was there could back me up on that. Thanks to all who braved the snow storm to celebrate NYE with us, and thanks to my sister for hosting the event. After NYE we had a week to rest up and then it was off to the high seas. Lynyrd Skynyrd's Simple Man cruise was an absolute blast. Left out of Miami, with stops in Key West and Calica, Mexico. I don't know if any of us made it to Key West, but we all had a great time at the beach in Mexico. Thanks to Sixthman, and Lynyrd Skynyrd for having us. Hope we get to do it again next year!! As for now it is about 0 degrees outside, Hopefully a nice warm Backyard Tire Fire can warm things up at the NV tomorrow night. Hope to see everyone there. Enjoy the pics.

Dreaming about the warm beach in Mexico,
