That possible PopCanon reunion I mentioned here a while ago is actually happening. After almost a full month of maddening 6-way emails about schedules and other details, we finally settled on a date of October 15.
It will be in Gainesville, Florida (naturally) at a new club called Double Down Live (not to be confused with the ZZ Top album of the same name). As always, our good pals Squeaky will open. The famous PopCanon Fight Song has new lyrics for the occasion.
We are scared to death.
It’s been more than ten years since we’ve played together as a group. Some of the band members have not been playing much music at all in the past ten years. Ned said on the phone to me, “This is going to suck, isn’t it?”
I said, “Maybe. It wouldn’t be the first time we’ve sucked.”
Ned replied, “Yeah, but we haven’t sucked on stage in ten years.”
I said, “Maybe you haven’t, but I still do it all the time.”
In all likelihood, it will not suck. We will have a couple of rehearsals the week before the show, and we all have a couple of months to brush up on things individually. I am very very excited about it, and I believe we still have a lot of fans in Gainesville that will be excited about it too.
Man, we love to rock.
So now, to prepare the set list.
Come back to Montevallo!
Dude, book my CURRENT BAND in Montevallo.
