Holy Shit I'm tired!!! Last night was a blast.Havent had that much fun in a long time. Didnt get to see the whole thing unfortunately. Had to follow the gang to the motel, and stayed up late catching up and getting pie-eyed. Thank you Craig, TJ, Joe, and everyone else involved. Nice to put faces to some of the people online. Thanks to the rest of FVB for giving me the opportunity to feel that on stage rush again and for letting me relive the best time of my life. To hear Jeff play guitar again after all he's been through was a blessing and an honor, and to have one night with my brothers that can never be taken from me is a freakin thrill. I've had a smile on my face all day. Nice to meet the other musicians and all the very cool people in attendance. A great mix of people and all very cool people. Phil from Shiner8 ( Shiner3?) wants to do it annually. I'm in. This was truly an event. I cant thank you all enough. I hope it helped Ron's kids as much as it helped my psyche....
BTW- Who took pictures? Post 'em!!!!!
Later taters- Ed

I'm hearing a rumor that the Number one Raffle Winner for the guitar "FORFVB" was Jeff Moughan's MOM(FVB lead guitar)!! If this is true it would be Irony incarnate! Craig, what is the ticket number. I can call her and have her check it. She didnt write ANY contact info on there?

Worst monday I have ever had, could not keep my mind off Ron and the weekend, tough to drag my ass to work this morning. Just could not get it out of my head... Ron's loss is like the ocean tide, one minute peaceful and the next it comes flooding back to overwhelm you...
Just to look across the stage and share those moments with these people again was incredible and I know it would have made Ron Happy!!
I am VERY proud of my friends for showing up and making this happen! Jeff in a fuckin wheelchair played his heart out, Tom picked up the bass again a year ago (things happen for a reason), Ed WTF Dion once a frontman always a frontman Great Job!, Chip reparing old wounds and putting things behind and driving Jeff and his mom from Amesbury!!! and the drummer Sebastien who knew only the stories about Ron and FVB.
Maybe this is Ron's way of telling us not to wait for the next one to go! Let's do this every october..I'm in Phil (Shiner)... Rocktober Remeber Ron Festival!!!!! on or around his birthday Oct 12th! Thanks FVB my brothers and a HUGE thanks to TJ and the Welch Boys who gave back something that had been gone for a long time!
Thanks again to everyone! Al, Paul, Craig, Paral. Peace Gunr

The Welch Boys wanted to personally thank all of the bands and folks who showed up for the Ron Holbrook Memorial Benefit last Saturday at Obriens. It was truly a special night. We were fortunate to have some of the best bands in this town play this show for free, and every band played their hearts out. Between the raffle and the money that we got from the door, we were able to raise almost four thousand dollars for Ron’s kids. Thanks to all for their generosity, Also, thanks to the fine folks at Obrien’s for letting us do this benefit. At midnight on Saturday, we drew the raffle, and a few of the prizes were unclaimed. I have listed the winning tickets below. If you have a winning ticket, please contact us and let us know. 1st was "FORFVB" no phone or name other than this. 2nd was D.Paradise 3rd was John Keans 4th was K.Keller 5th -Paral knew this person and she will deliver 6th-708?? The next Welch Boys show is happening Saturday October 27 at the Bullfinch Yatch Club on Friend St. in Boston. We go on at 11:00. TJ Welch
