Well folks - the impromptu April 28/07 show [displayed below] was a rave-up indeed. A well rounded cross section of fans and musicians in attendance were treated to some very serious music this night. They were the first to experienced Dave's exacting punctuating thundering bass and Darrell's healthy endurance defying booming drum solo, plus among many other spendid things Bobby treated the crowd to a very unique all too short one handed solo. Well it was actually a two handed solo, but the left hand was playing the guitar while the right hand was accompanying in unison and harmony on the Theremin - how does he think these things up - must be all that Chinese green tea, Ginseng and Astragali he swears by. Also in attendance were some {non Klone for those who really need to care} Guess Who members, former road manager, security chief, vinyl record/music memorabilia collectors and longtime Northend Winnipeg fans as well, we did say well rounded cross section. It was even attended by a rival club owner/country picker who was all smiles, and the young bloods went wild to the wailing theremin and guitar sounds. The surprise of all was an old high school friend of Bobby's who came from the deep southern US to see the show and catch up on things.

Two 90 minute music soaked sets followed by autographs and a last gusher of a set that went well past closing until the venue told the boys it was time to go home. Talk about dedication meeting fun!

The BB Band would like to thank Rob Wallace for inviting the boys to perform at this non scheduled show, as Bobby said' "It's always good to get out of the woodshed and see what people think of the work so far. I'm glad we did." So are we, they've been working hard since February, we're very glad they stepped out to test the waters, and the waters are just fine thank you! The boys are on a small summer break and then it's back to working on a few additional sets consisting of Bobby's catalogue of originals, we can handly wait!

**Don't forget to check out the demo MP3 on the THEREMIN link, it's way cool.
