Hey now,
The Pranksters will be Celebrating Jerry's Birthday at Dulcinea's on Colfax in Denver (next to the Fillmore) next Friday, August 1st at 9:00 PM. It's going to be a real fine time!

Cool little place - my buddy CR took me there for a beer when I went to visit for the Steelers / Broncos AFC Champioship Game (the year the Steelers won the Super Bowl). At the time, he was the keyboardist for a band called Polytoxic. They've since split (the other 2 guys in the band were GREAT, as well - Torry on guitar and Chadzilla on drums) and he's since joined a KILLER band called Outformation - a band led by WSP Guitar Tech, Sam Holt.

That's my little link to Dulcinea's.

Have fun!

Yes indeed! I know Mr Gruver! In fact, I was going to see if he would fill in on keys for this show but he is way away from Denver on Aug 1. He'll be here like the next week or something close to that. I think the best descriptive word for him is F'ing Unbelieveable. Okay, so that's two words.....he's that good.


Peace,

Cool. This should be a 'Miss Your Face' party for Jerry. I may be there.

He is, indeed, F'ing Unbelieveable. He's also one of my bestest friends. He was my keyboardist in a West Chester, PA band called Double Dose (or d2) from 1996-2000. The guy he replaced was also a complete sicko on the keys. His name is Johnny "JB" Bigham and he is currently playing keys for Chubby Checker (and has been since he left d2). We were VERY lucky to have 2 amazing keyboardists.

No diss on RB, but they both blow Barracco away, IMO. Barracco is a great player - no diss intended - seriously....but these guys...ooooooooooh my.
