Here we are in December again. Just a gentle reminder that Big’uns will be playing one of our once-every-six-weeks happy hours at George’s this Friday at 6 pm.
We got all dressed up and played the annual St. Mary’s Ball this past Saturday under the “respectable” moniker of Big. It was fun, the governor and some of Benton County’s finest were in attendance, and I was happy to see my tux coat still fits.
At the end of October, we played the Mad Hatter’s Ball, a fundraiser for the Eureka Springs School of the Arts. I was late in getting them the contract, and we were inadvertently billed as “The Ed Nicholson Band,” until the error was corrected. Whew! Won’t let that happen again! So just to give everyone else in the band equal time, we’ll be playing with a different name for each of the next five gigs:
- Fuzz and the Foster Children
- The VanDerhoof and Mouth Gang
- Sterling and the Nasty Little Tuckers
- Carl’s Bad Boys
- Darren and the Ray Guns
We’ve spent a bit of time in my son’s garage working on a few new tunes, and will be playing four of them on Friday. So come on out.
