Labor Day 2010

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

“You got me working, boss man
Working ’round the clock
I want me a drink of water
You won’t let me stop
You Big Boss man
Can you hear me when I call?
Oh, you ain’t so big
You just tall, that’s all”
Jimmy Reed

If you’d like to be removed from this email list you really should do something about it before you forget because something else came up and you forgot and well it wasn’t really that important anyway did I leave the stove on I was going to check it but I was in a hurry cause I had to stop for gas I have to get my drivers license renewed and I hope that it’s a better picture because I’ve hated having to show this one to the nice police officers every time they pull me over and gosh I need to pay that parking ticket before the fine doubles it’s just awful what they charge these days for a ticket and how do they expect me to be able to afford that especially since I haven’t had a raise in the last five years and the price of everything just keeps going up …..

Now I’ve heard there was a secret chord

That David played, and it pleased the Lord

But you don’t really care for music, do you?

It goes like this The fourth, the fifth

The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing…….

If you prefer to have your email address removed from this music update list don’t you think you should have asked a long time ago?And if you didn’t – well who’s fault is that anyway? Apology accepted.

August 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th

Greetings fans, friends, fiends and followers. August continues to heat up with more live music than you can shake a stick at. I’ve also finally gotten a copy of the mp3 from KDHX radio’s Local Artist Spotlight that featured me and my music. I”m including it as an attachment because I know some of you didn’t get to hear it. It was broadcast twice daily during the last week of May and first week of June and I only caught it once myself. Anyway I have to do this

Lots of excitement this week and several short road trips coming up in the next couple of months including Springfield, IL, several wineries near Carbondale, a winery in Cape Girardeau, Mojos RME in Davenport, IA and more. On a down note, Houlihan’s is dropping their entertainment budget for a month or more so I”ll be missing my regular appearance there this month. I do, however, have another trip to “the grocery store” this week and if you haven’t been it’s just a neat place. Who ever heard of a grocery store selling alcohol by the drink and having folks walking up and down the aisles looking for cereal with a beer in their hand while live music is playing upstairs.? Also this week I’ll be at one of the more scenic spots in the area- Aeries in Grafton.

Upcoming dates are Thurs Aug 12th -The Shanti-Soulard, Saturday Aug 14th -Blue Sky Vineyards in Makanda, Fri Aug 20th Seven in Belleville, Sat Aug 21 Greenville Campgrounds 2-6 (private party) and Maggie O’Briens STL 10-2, Sun 22nd Starview Vineyards in Cobden, Thurs Aug 26 Music Under The Stars Hannibal, MO, Fri 27th Candicci’s Ballwin, Sat 28th Aeries

This Week:

Thursday Aug 5th
Norb Andy’s Tabarin
Springfield, IL 9 pm

Friday Aug 6th
Schnuck’s Culinaria
Downtown STL 4 pm

Saturday Aug 7th
Aeries Winery
Grafton, IL 7 pm

Sunday Aug 8th
Candicci’s Italian Restaurant & Bar

May 29th & 30th 2010

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

Hello and welcome to summer at last! Please have fun, be safe, and don’t forget to memorize something for Memorial Day.

Big doin’s this week! I’m playing in Aviston and Grafton to ring in the summer. If you can’t make it to either, I hope you get a chance to hear live music somewhere.

Upcoming events for June include an all-original music show at The Map Room in St Louis’ Benton Park neighborhood on Thursday June 3rd from 7-10 pm and my first ever appearance at Aeries Winery in Grafton on Saturday June 5th at 3 pm.

This week’s new ringtone is from Golden and has proven to be a really good live tune even if the recorded version didn’t do so well. I play it often in my solo act and it was a lot of fun performing it with the Floyd Duncan Orchestra. It has a blues/jazz/rock sound and an adulterous story and that certainly makes for a good ringtone- Desperate Times and as usual- I can’t control the ringtone price ($2.49) but I can set the download price to a negligible $0.51 so you can get the ringtone on your phone and put the song on your mp3 player for just $3.00 !!!! Woo hoo! I ought to be arrested for aiding and abetting theft.

Live shows this week-

Saturday May 29th
Hidden Lake Winery
Aviston, IL 7 pm

http://www.hiddenlakewinery.com/

Sunday May 30th
The Loading Dock
Grafton, IL 1 pm

http://www.graftonloadingdock.com/

Have a good week,
Bud

Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou to those of you who made it to the release party! I know some of you had other commitments and couldn’t be there; you missed a great time. There are tons of pics and video and audio to go through but what I’ve seen and heard so far is very good. Many of you didn’t realize that there was an opportunity to sign up for Steve Reeb, Cory Knapp, The Waters Trifecta and The Floyd Duncan Orchestra’s semi-regular music updates but a few people availed themselves of this opportunity. If you’d like to be added to one of these great musician’s list, let me know and I will forward your info. Or you may contact them yourself.

I put two videos up on youtube from the big bash-both are from my solo set that kicked off the night http://www.youtube.com/user/budlier Now Your Gone is a scaled down solo version of the song by the same name from my Golden CD. Water is a song that I hope to put on my next CD.
