No ones been blogging lately, so I guess I'll throw something up.
Steve and I went to see Ralph play at DiPiazzas in Long Beach sat. Kind of a countryish lounge band with a Nancy Sinatra-ish kind of lead singer. She was actually one of the June Taylor dancers back in the day. She actually has a pretty husky voice kind of like Judy Henske. Ralph was great as always, especially doing some vocal duet stuff with her. Good to see Ralph out playing music. Sun. I took Ralph to see Steve a friend of mine that was playing guitar in Neil Morrows Country Band at the Starting Gate, across from Los Alamitos race track. The drummer turns out to be Rhys Clark (New Zealand drummer for Billy Joel, Freddy Fender,Hoyt Axton) Jimmy Harris was playing bass (Orig. New Riders of the Purple Sage)and we got to talking about the Reunion and the old Paradox days. Some how the conversation got around to our House Bass player and it turns out Rhys Clark and Jim Fielder are good friends and have even done sessions together. He also knows and has played with Steve Gillette.

Nice Gary, glad someone is getting involved. We wish so much that we too could go hear Ralph play and sing, he's so talented, that silver fox! We all live to far apart, you all need to move up here, cause we sure as hell ain't movin' down there!
Soon, Steve Noonan, Micheal Ray, Bob, Harmonious Combustion are going to be doing a gig together here in our area, not sure of the date yet, I can get you a good seat.......
Helen, you'll have to keep us posted. We may all have to use that as an excuse for a pre-reunion reunion of the Paradox reunion band.
My daughter has moved from the ukulele to a toy accordion. She's not singing the no-reunion, reenlistment, morning blues yet, but she will be soon -- I'm sure of it.
p.s.
Gary, I love the new rules, and I think I may even understand them!
Keep those lyrics coming.
