You are in for a treat...
While
cleaning out an old dusty trunk...
It's
True!
I found
an old Reel to Reel Recording of BLACKSTONE The BAND.
Recorded
at Chapman Recording Studio in Kansas City, Missouri circa 1981.
I
dusted the old Revox Reel to Reel off and fired it up. To my surprise,
it worked
just
like it always had. I put the tape on the machine and pressed play.
From
out
of the PAST came some very delicious music. I isn't "TOOL ", "EMENIM"
or
even "BRITTNEY", no this is good old footstomp'n Rock and Roll right from
the
Twilight ZoNe.
I
know you will enjoy these oldies too!
Blackstone
was a successful local Club Band in the Midwest.
They
never made a ton of money, but they sure did have fun.
One
day, when they were discussing how to best book the band, a discussion
came
up about what it would take to be successful.
Everyone
tossed out an idea or two except Sam the Bass Man.
After
everyone had said their piece, he stated emphatically that if he could
just sit and
drink
tea in the front yard of a good friends home, then he considered himself
a success.
Now
we do too!
It
isn't about the money. It's about the adventure and good friends.
Sam "The Bass Man" Cox
We
all miss you Sam!

Now YOU can HEAR this Great Old Band that used to Rock the Dance
Floor!
For those who remember this Band, this will be fun. If you were
not lucky enough
to have seen this act, then you really did miss something special.
Everybody in the Band performed Close Up Magic on Breaks in the Audience.
A complete Las Vegas Style DOVE ACT Floor Show
by T.A. was Featured in the show set.
Special Effects and even a Gorilla showed up!
A lot of Comedy and Good Times... always.
