Pt3-Tug goes International!!!!
Yep! Tug My Boat has a New Years Eve gig at Pärnu, Estonia. The details are being worked out now. This is kind of a feather in the band's cap but we will not mention the fact that Pärnu is essentially a summer tourist town and a "little" slow in the winter. However there seems to be a good bunch of friends coming along from Finland, so the hotel will be busy. Will keep you posted.
Pt.2 Welcome Riku!
The search for a new keyboardist didn't take too long as Riku Lönnberg decided to take the plunge to join the band. Riku and I go a long way back being hockey dad's and when I asked him if he knew of any interested keyboardist's, I was surprised that he expressed interest himself because he's mainly a guitarist (A Kari part2.....) Did that matter? Nyah..... The important thing that he is from the greatest generation and after a jam last week, it was a done deal. Welcome aboard the sinking ship Riku!
Changes Pt.1-Good Luck Stefan!
Our friend and keyboardist Stefan has decided to leave the band to follow his musical journey in a different direction. I'd like to state that the age differences had nothing to do with it. After all, it's not his fault that he's 20 years younger than the rest of us. ;)
And if you go, you may as well go with a bang as that last gig sure did have that "bang". Anyway, onwards and when all the dust settles on these changes, I'm looking forward to having a few beers with Stefan while listening to some live jazz and reminiscing of the good old days!
