Forgive me father for I have sinned

Forgive me father for I have sinned, its been about 2 and a half years since I last logged in. Life ...... gets in the way etc etc.

Hope you have all been well.

How many NR's is Scott up to now?

What is Uwe's bass count these days?
Is Dave still the lovable grumpy ol' bugger he was when I left?
Did ChrisP finally get that La la lies album finished and if so how did it go?
Has Rob done anymore Superfloor albums?
How are Bill, George, John and Al going?
How is Doc, did he ever finish that Billy Bo?
How is Mark? Did he ever upgrade from his Subaru outback?

Welcome back Bret!

Superfloor is in extended hybernation at the moment. We haven't officially disbanded, but the last gig was one year ago...
The last album we've released is Live It Up. That dates from 2012, so I think you've heard that?

In the meanwhile I've been busy with that other band, Definition Of Madmen. We've released an album called Evil Lullabies one year ago.

Floor has a new eleven piece band called The Etta James Experience. They've been doing some nice gigs

The rest of the gang will chime in to tell you how they've been.

Hey, nice to have you back! (But how the heck have YOU been???)

Al is fine, added a Gretsch THunderJet and a Dean Psycho Cabbie bass to the list. Unfortunately the band hasn't been able to get together all summer, so we're hoping to get weekly practice sesions and a gig lined up soon.

Yo Bret!

Hope everything is wonderful for you!

I do have a new Outback, new is a relative term this one is only 9 years old, in very good shape - I don't think I'll ever need to own any other brand of car! This one loves Thunderbirds as much as the old blue one, which I still have, I simply couldn't sell it, love it too much!

I has Ketteh now.......Once a stray, she's the sweetest thing! Her name is Latifa

Uwe and his wife Edith visited Seattle last year, he's a wonderful guy - The man has a sense of humor unmatched!

As we took this picture he said "I can't believe I'm touching your famous car!"

Hi Bret, just the other day I was wondering about you and your pet food business. Hope it's still doing well for you.

I had major health issues last year. Still recovering gradually and doing well enough. There's no remedy for my grumpiness though; it's a feature, not a bug.

If you take a look down in the Projects forum, you'll see that Doc is starting up the BillyBo project again.

Yo Geezer...!

Are the Crocs still a goer...?

I've found myself living in the Highlands, as of 5 weeks ago, already joined a band, and getting paid for driving round the Highlands, occasionally stopping to take a piccie... Oh yeah, and I finally finished the RD project, and fitted the Lollar in the PC... only took me 5 year... presently shedless though, mostly...

Even Uwe probably doesn't have a figure for how many instruments he's got...

Chris P. · October 26, 2015, 04:38:21 AM

Yes, we finished the La La Lies album! It was recorded in Belgium and Amsterdam. It did quite well, we did some big gigs, instore gigs, some national TV and a lot of national radio! We didn't reached the succes we hoped for. Band members made strange decisions and after a while the band exploded or imploded. So one album only. But I look back with a big smile. We reached almost anything I dreamed of before we started it. Coverage in all main magazines, TV, radio, all the big venues, support acts for big national and international bands. I'll post some vids here.

At the moment I only play with some singer-songwriters, I organise a lot and I still write for the magazines. And I have some band plans...

Rickenbacker:

Gretsch Billy-Bo:

How was your time in jail?

We don't live all in your crooky lawyer world, Uwe.

Pah, second-oldest honourable profession in the world! We fill a need ...

Chris P. · October 26, 2015, 12:00:42 PM

I used to be a car salesman. I think that's even worse than lawyer, politican, hooker, Henry J or the guy who installs direction indicators on BMWs.

From car salesman to Warwick endorser - that closes the circle!!!

All Warwicks have special secret technology so they perform especially well in magazine tests!!!

Now that was uncalled for... or are you touting for the appeal business...?

Probably scared him off already...
