The OSU Marching Band, Ozzie & Harriet & The Columbus Symphony Orchestra
Ah what a beautiful morning on my front porch, the leaves are falling, a nice gentle breeze. Time to relax, sit back and reflect on the year. WAIT! REFLECT? Not now!! Next Saturday, me & my Danger band mates are going to walk in to the shoe and play the half time show with the O.S.U. Marching Band!! No time to reflect!! Truly the highest honor... we are so excited. On the 11th floor of The Holiday Inn On The Lane, while Bob Conners was on the air, Coach Earl Bruce had us in a semi circle, and gave us the freshman pep talk, telling us what to do when we walk into the shoe for the first time. It was an awesome talk..got us pumped!! Rehearsals begin this week, can't wait. We should be able to rock the shoe!!
Hiney Gate was, of course, quite memorable. Had some old friends stop by, Bill Lutz, long time percussionist with the excellent Columbus Symphony Orchestra. Bill and I are both big fans of The Champ Car World Series, and have spent some good times at the Mid Ohio Sports Car Course watching the races. His friend Phil Shipley, Principle Percussionist with the Columbus Symphony is another old friend who played with the Danger Brothers years ago, a story I will tell sometime.

Another long time Hiney Gater, Eric Place, came by and said hi. Years ago Eric & Chris Lucas, both of Delphos Ohio, had an Indy lights time. For two years they carried the Danger Brother logo on their cars driven by Geoff & Andy Boss. Eric informed of their new team, Immke Racing, which races in off road races. Currently they are testing for the BAJA 1000. Check them out... nice people! http://www.immkeracing.com/
Also in the crowd, was the Gunner Nelson, son of the GREAT Ricky Nelson. As a child I so well remember watching Ozzie & Harriet, I was to young to follow the plot, but waiting for the end of the show because sometimes at the end, Ricky would have a concert of a new song. It was so cool to see, drums guitars, amps, all the stuff I wanted to be around. Well, unfortunately, we never got to talk to Gunner, although we got him on stage, we didn't have time to rehearse a song. We could have if we had connected on the break. The Dangers doing a Ricky Nelson song has been close to the top of the list. He was a very talented musician, and we are big fans.
In the small world, I had forgotten that my sister, who is in entertainment finance in Los Angles, has worked with the Nelson Twins for a long time. She was also in one of their music videos. http://www.thenelsonbrothers.com/
Well, Go Bucks, see everyone at Hiney Gate, and even more in The Shoe!!
