Less than a month to go folks....how are things coming along. FVB...how are you? Um.....Well we're pulling it together...Shit we havent played together in about 22 yrs and we live all over Hell. Barrington NH, Londonderry NH, Gloucester MA, & Quebec, so needless to say no rehearsal yet. Tom hadnt played bass since back then but recently picked it up again so he's having to scramble. We pulled together a set of tunes that'll bring you right back to the days. Anyone who knew Ron knows what music he came from and that he never really left it behind, so if you're down with the dinosaur music you'll dig it. Like I said before, if we suck then Ron will get a good laugh at our expense. We just want to be there and be part of it. Later- Ed

FVB! Having our first rythm section rehearsal this weekend. T is driving up from NH to Montreal today and we will go over the tunes with the drummer tomorrow. Need time for a damn good drunk tonight! Being a drummer himself Sebastien (seb) is psyched to be able to help out with this special event for Ron's family, I went over some history and audio/video and explained what kind of guy Ronzo was and he agreed right away. (you know drummers they understand each other LOL) If you want to check out the drummer he can be found at www.dongunnband.comLike Ed said we are there to remember Ron, have fun, do some healing and maybe give him a laugh wherever he ended up! Peace DG

Joe, I haven't seen any video yet...I look forward to your collage video....I've no video of him and it will be incredible to see. The only people with video that I know of is TJ, you and maybe Gunr...Don Gunn who is currently practicing with the villains in the great white.

I have a VHS tape from a backyard party in 1987 or so... I will try to have a DVD made before the show..although the sound quality is not great it has some pretty classic Ron moments...
Joe if I can get it from VHS to PC instead what format would you need?
Gunr

Looking forward to this, you better edit that Tape Gunr, that was a LONG time ago and I've matured...I think.
I do remember Ron playing with fire in my backyard...everything else is fuzzy..
Is Shiner8 playing?

Ron would also sing the harmony to "since my baby left me, I found a new place to dwell" heartbreak hotel....think; Spinal Tap in front of Elvis' tombstone...

Just to let everyone know, Shiner8 will be performing at Obriens for Rons Benefit. We are trying to recruite a Bassist for the show as our original bass player will be unavailable. I am one of the original Guitarists but will be covering for Ron on Drums.

Craig, Shiner8 rehearsed last Saturday with just gtr drums and vocal, we tried storm but we really need a bass player to round it off. Im trying to locate a bass player to fill Mikes shoes. Im going to contact the Bass player from Old Jonesy, (Remember Old Jonesy?)Ill push to have Storm part of our set. By the way, Phil has all sorts of video of Ron with Shiner. I actually have a few Old Jonsey Shows on DVD, Quality is not that good but still interesting. Jim, did you scan those Old Jonsey pics yet?
