Unless we are contacted by a group of activists that have damning, video evidence, Thirst N’ Howl will be returning once again to Cody’s South this weekend.

It’s party rock people. Songs you know and love to dance to.

Rojo says; “If you can’t dance to this, you ain’t got feet.”

The band is sounding good, just starting to hit our stride. We had a little rehearsal on Sunday and picked up a few new tunes by the likes of Hall and Oates, the Pretenders and Brandi is singing the stuffing out of “Next Time He Cheats” (I think that’s the name of it, it’s the one where the girl slashes guy’s tires and such), the Carrie Underwood song.

No ego here, no pretentious, whiny stuff, just a band that plays songs that you know and like. And plays ‘em hard. I call it Party Rock.

We will be taking the party to Harlow’s this Saturday night.

In the end, we really dodged the bullet. Everywhere around here was hit harder than we were. I had a guy cancel an appointment with me today whose power has been out since Saturday.

I was up in Springfield (10 miles north) this afternoon and I have never seen anything like it. As I said before this wasn’t ice that stuck to the roads so, it really hasn’t been a huge driving hazard but, the trees and power lines have been where the damage is.

Springfield is one of those places with a lot of pretty, tree lined streets that are now devastated. I was driving around for about an hour up there and at one point, I was specifically looking for one tree that did not have damage. I couldn’t find one.

That in itself is sad but the people who are still without power, my heart goes out to them. There are a lot of major intersections where the lights are out and hundreds of drivers are waiting politely for their turns, no road rage, human decency in the face of hardship.

I had lunch with Hugh (bass player). I picked him up and his yard was a wreck. It looked almost like a tornado had been through.

We had a hard time finding a restaurant that was open and not way over-crowded. People looked weary.

So, I feel fortunate and am counting my blessings.
