Wow! Has it been a CRAZ-Z-Z-Z-Z-Z-Z-Y week for the Boomers!!!!!
Last Tuesday night, we trekked through a blizzard to do a 90 minute show at a club in Longmont, Colorado. (The 4th and Main Club) The place was somewhat lightly populated (duh… we unloaded in about 6 inches of “partly cloudy” in the alleyway behind the place), but those few heroes who braved the snow got some pretty good butt dancing goin’ on.  A bit of a power problem lunched a couple of amps, but we made it through then mushed our separate ways back home (without the benefit of dog sleds I might add!)
A couple nights later, on Friday, we played the employee Christmas party for the Eaton Country Club, north of Greeley, Colorado. Outside the temp hovered around ZERO, but inside, Boomersaurus was HOT HOT HOT!!!! The show AND THE AUDIENCE turned out to be FANTASTIC! Didn’t hurt that a club owner (or two) happened to be there. Things are starting to roll!
After getting to sleep about 2:00 – 2:30 (depending on latitude) we all bounced out of bed early Saturday morning and trekked to the Beyond Sound recording studio in the mountains northwest of Lyons. Stratosaurus Ronnie’s Suburban and Drumosaurus Bob’s Jeep climbed the hill to the studio easily… the rest of us climbed on foot. 
 ANOTHER GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR A DOG SLED!!!!!
After a twelve hour session (which ended up in some SUPER cuts… no NOT THE HAIR PLACE!!!!….) Duck slid his car into the ditch… Ronnie, Stuart (Sam Slyme’s replacement), and Tom hooked up Mrs. Duck’s Saturn and pulled it to freedom. (OK speaking of which, have you visited Three Chords to Freedom yet?)
Sunday was spend burning demo CDs… Tom’s already delivered a couple to people who were waiting. We’ll have the cuts on the booking site later today… Check back here (or even better, subscribe through RSS) for an announcement.
Oh… the trivia question…
Neil Young, the song was Cinnamon Girl…
Speaking of Cinnamon…Â what was the name of the band with the 1969 hit “Cinnamon, Let Me In”?
Post your answer as a comment.

Cinnamon was by Derek (like Prince, Madonna, a one-namer!) aka Cymbal or something like that.
Why I know this? Apparently trivia sticks to brain cells!
Super-glad to hear boomers made the gig and especially that you made it to the recording studio!
Can’t wait to have access to hear some of the results!
3-cheers for Boomer Bob and Jeeps!
