Bob Douglas, Tomato's & Texas!

The Buckeyes beat Texas!! Scores were brought to the stage as we played the Fredericktown Tomato festival, which kept us happy!! The good people at Fredericktown had the game projected on to a large screen on the side of a building, good thinking! We had fun at Freddy Town; it was nice to be back as the last time we played there was probably 1990 or so.

Another rock and roll weekend, up at 530AM on Friday to play on Bob Conner's morning show on 610WTVN. This tradition goes way back, and it always fun. I remember back in the 1980's Bill and me going up with the Late Sgt. Bob Douglas, 610's traffic reporter. We would play the fight song; with trumpet and snare drum; in the stations plane Yellow Bird. I miss Bob Douglas; he was a very nice person. As for the show, Bob had little good to say about us on the air, there's a surprise!!

What was exciting was playing Bill's new song for the Buckeyes called Let's Get Up. Little did we know the song was being recorded and is now available on the 610WTV site. How cool is that. Remember it was not recorded in a recording studio! Just a radio studio!!

Game day came and went and already first Hiney Gate is behind us and what a great crowd! Not only great but wild with Buckeye Enthusiasm!! How about those Buckeyes!! Captain Morgan and the Morganettes were there which certainly brought a smile to our faces, the Morganettes that is. Certainly a highlight of the day was 610 TVN's Munch coming up on stage with Buckeyes superstars Craig Krenzel & Dee Miller, wow was that cool. I must say, watching Krenzel throw the t-shirts out was a treat he threw like a pro!! A little later on in the show a young couple from Toledo came up on stage. Brandon McGilveray got down on one knee and asked Kellie Jakubowski to take his hand in marriage, to which she said YES!! Congratulations!!

Sunday we headed up to Erie Michigan to for our second visit to the St Joseph’s Festival. Lots of fun to be in 'enemy territory' and still have hiney gaters out in the crowd. This event has a huge crowd and a large dance floor, which is what we are all about!!
