My brother used to paint cars. He sprayed more than one guitar for me after finishing an automotive paint job. Sometimes colored. Sometimes clear coat. All electric, though. If you have a buddy at a body shop, give him a ring.

All,

Hope to see you at Papa Mojo's tomorrow night, Friday March 5th, for our 9:30 pm show! We're playing till 12:30 am, so it's fine to show up late if you can't make it early.

We'll be playing some brand new rock/blues stuff that we think you are really going to like -- you'll want to get up and dance!!!!

And you'll hear our older tunes as well.

FYI there is an $8 cover. Since it is a CD release party we'll be selling our new CD for half price -- $5.

And as you already know if you've been to Papa Mojos before, the food is fabulous!!

Here's more info about Papa Mojos which is located close to the intersection of Hwy55 and Hwy 54 off I40:
