new band?... what happened to Mars?..

and why am I not in Scarlet Mountain?

[strumminsix]

Hey Bouk! Yes, new band. Mars is on hiatus.

I figured your hands were tied with your other projects!

This came together really casually as then grew and grew!

BTW, I say you walking into Ratdog Thursday. I yelled "Yo Bouk" from across the street but you didn't hear me.

(or maybe that wasn't you!)

[BOUKINATOR]

yeah that was me.. didn't hear ya... how about that show!... best Sugaree jam I've ever heard

who's in the new project?

oh and if you can make it out to PW's Jerry tribute show Thurs Aug 9 we'd love to have ya sit in for a few! (yeah i know it's a thurday but we're starting early)

PW- well I'll be a sonofabitch, that's Paradise Waits, isn't it?

Does Farmer still play with you guys? He was the one who suggested PW when he and I co-founded a band by that name in late 1997. We had a pretty good time with that band, mostly gigging out in Rockford/Loves Park or at local fests, since DSO pretty much already ruled the Chicago scene (with all the scraps taken by UJB and Blotto) by the time PW had really gotten ready to gig.

Anybody here know who Bob Kattke is or what he's been doing lately? He was our absolutely phenomenal keyboardist. His younger brother John (of the band Brother John) used to play with Otis Rush and was the main guy in the original (incredible) Why Not?

woohoo I got the Jer-Man!!

Thanks, Jim! I'll try to make it out! Where's it at? Kinetic?

The line-up has guys I've not played with in the Chicago scene before. A few just moved here more recently and another has been doing non-jamband bands while being a huge deadhead!

hey cool rig Nick, I see the DSR made it to the top of your stack.

Thanks, Tom! Yup, the DSR is my current favorite!
