Tom Milner

Bob German

Tom Milner (aka Funkysaurus) is now playing bass with The High Country Drifters along with Bob German (Drumosaurus) on drums. The High Country Drifters play classic country music in the Denver Metro and northern Colorado areas.

Bob is also playing drums with Hindsight, out of Boulder, Colorado, who recently played the Boulder Theater.

Ron Heimbecher (aka Duck) is working on the third and fourth in a series of interconnected novels and is the current president of a southern Colorado writer’s organization.

OK – we’ve had to face some realities. Allergies and asthma have taken a toll on the old Quacker. We find it a bit ironic now that our last show was a benefit for the respiratory disease LAM. The Boomers are auditioning some new vocal talent, and should be starting rehearsals within the next few weeks. Our booking site has been down during the hiatus, and we’ll be building it fresh as the band gets ready to go.

Let the countdown begin!

Seeya,

Ok, so it’s been a while.  I got a note today from Guitarosaurus Dave wondering if the band was still together.  He’s obviously forgotten that we’re on hiatus…

Getting close to the time to get back to work.  More soon, Dave.

Get those puppies in tune!

Rock Trivia tidbit…  The lizard king sang about the snake and the king’s highway…

OK, it’s been ages since I’ve posted anything… it’s been a little crazy.  Boomersaurus is now a quartet, so Duck has been working his little tailfeathers off picking up new guitar parts and leaning to bounce back and forth between keys and guitar in the same song…

Let’s hear it!!!! P-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-R Ducky….

But Boomersaurus is sounding Good!  If your near Longmont Colorado tomorrow, Friday August 10, come see us at the Free Stage at the Boulder County Fair… 6:30 – 8:00 pm.  You’re gonna LOVE the new sound.  We’ll time travel you through the whole sixties in just 90 minutes.

I write this from a hotel room in Terre Haute Indiana at about 11 pm. On the way to tomorrows gig with the 7th Cavalry in Fairfield Ohio. Man has it been hot. Woke up this morning to a tornado warning in Topeka Kansas, and busted ass to get where the skies weren’t dark anymore… then went up in the Gateway Arch in St. Louis… how cool is that? What an incredible view although the ride up is a bit uncomfortable. Tomorrow an Saturday nights in Fairfield, then Sunday in downtown Chicago. We’re planning on rolling back into Denver on Tuesday, then picking up Sailor the Award Winning Dog on Wednesday morning.

Remember — June 22, 23 — Group Therapy 1644 Main St, Longmont CO… then July 1 at the DAV Poker Run benefit show, also in Longmont, at the American Legion 2-4:30 on Sunday July 1.

Seeya, Boomer

Ok, ok… it’s been a while, I know… lot of things going on. Duck was out busy at a writer’s conference in Colorado Springs, then out of commission in the hospital for a couple of days… back on track now, though…

In addition, we’ve been busy adding to our web presence and playing a new club in Longmont, Colorado… the club has actually been around for years, and we’ve all played it at one time or another, but this was a first for Boomersaurus. The club is called Group Therapy, on north Main Street.

On the web presence front, visit a couple of new places Boomersaurus at MySpace and Boomersaurus on Squidoo. They’re both turning out pretty cool. The Squidoo site has some interesting lists about favorite 60s bands that you can vote and sort.

We’re giving up the answer on the Mosrite thing… It was the Ventures with Walk Don’t Run 64….

New question: Bad Company was one of the first “Supergroups” made up of members from famous bands… Paul Rodgers came from the band “Free.” What are the last names and bands prior to BadCo for Mick, Simon, and Buz?

Give us your answer

Colorado Boomers: take 10 minutes for a worthy cause.  If you are between 55 and 65, and live in Colorado, there is a survey at www.coloradoboomers.org that can really help a couple of worthwhile organizations.  Singosaurus Duck says it’s easy and takes no time at all. The survey will only be available until March 23.

Get your snake chasin’ outfit on and get ready to tip back a sip o’ Irish Mist…  St. Patrick’s day is almost here.

What better place to spend it than with Boomersaurus at the Key Largo Lounge in Greeley, Colorado…

Get a Map

See you there 9:00 PM March 17th!

boomer

Ok, the first of March… some things are going to get weird this month with the time change happening in the MIDDLE rather than the end…  GOOD LUCK and hope nobody is late for anything!!!!!

IMPORTANT MAILING LIST NOTE!  If you are on our mailing list, but not getting our mailings, please be sure that Boomer is in your address book or allowed senders list.  Boomers address for the mailing list is boomersaurus AT-SIGN boomersaurus.com (no spaces and replace AT-SIGN with you know what…)! 

As you can see we’re VERY serious about e-mail address privacy at Boomersaurus.

Another fun note:  Got an interesting contest response from Mark Stein’s webmaster, Pete.  Seems he has a dog named after me…  (ok, so his dog Boomer is not REALLY named after me, but after a group Mark had called Boomerang.) 

Yes, Pete…  “You Keep Me Hanging On” is on the Boomersaurus playlist… It was one of the main songs that Singosaurus Duck played on the huge organ  he and MaryJane Bann’d hauled around Colorado in the 60s,  … along with a few tunes featuring some guys named Winwood and Price…

We’re now using an eMu B-3 emlulator that sounds incredible and is hundreds of pounds lighter…

Inspired by Vanilla Fudge arrangements, MJB did a powerful 3/4 time version of “Lucy in the Sky” that was KILLER!

Thanks for the note Pete!  Give Boomer the shepherd a hug for me.  (Mine is a two year old yellow Lab named Sailor)…
