AcoustiNewsLetter #6

Time is running out for you to make excuses NOT to struggle down to the Harwood Post this Saturday, June 6th from 8:00pm until 11:37pm and witness the Traumatic Return in the flesh of DaveBob and his brand new Wireless Walking Cast! Come on—how could you miss that???

Pictured below in a rare photo is DaveBob enjoying his ducks, his Bud Lite and his famous Orange cast named “Itchy-Stynk.” The cast is due to be removed this Thursday and immediately helicopter-ed over to the “Celebrity Cast Museum” in Earlville, IL where it will be lovingly enshrined until Armageddon.

I never really noticed this until recently, but DaveBob could be Fabio’s twin! These guys look identical—I swear it’s amazing! If you don’t believe me, look at the next page where I placed a DaveBob photo and a Fabio photo.

I told you—uncanny isn’t it?

LATEST ACOUSTIBOB NEWS OF INTEREST:
(Mr. Pollack’s Opus to be previewed)
You read that right ladylike ladies and genteel gentlemen, PeteBob has finally refined and polished his legendary piece of masterpiece theatre! He his putting the finishing touches on “SUE’S NEW GUY,” his 2 minute and 31 second operetta, as I type and has promised to play this startling gem 34 minutes into the first set this Saturday if the final coat is dry by then. You must witness this unique event because—to paraphrase Chekhov (that’s Marty Chekhov, shortstop for the Iowa Burlingames) who once said about John Tesh, “we shall not look upon his like again.”

Speaking of PeteBob. And speaking of PaulBob—and DenBob. Every gig at about 10:10pm, the three of us do a rousing version of the song “FIRE.” Just the three of us. DaveBob gets to rest and hurl insults from the bar for 3 minutes. This is PeteBob’s other moment to shine as he handles the vocals and leads us through the song like he’s charging the Beach Club at Normal. And every night in honor of this significant occasion, we change the name of the band for those three Rockin’ minutes. Last time we were “The 3 Legged Clown.” This Saturday we shall be called “The Former Husbands” (because we are) for that short sweet time!

I have a stopped up bath tub (this happens when you lose your hair at an alarming rate and you don’t have a drain cover that traps the hair because you wore the other one out and every time you’re at a store and actually remember to get one, you can’t find one) and so I recently went to the store to get some Liquid Plummer or something. Well, I found a “dollar section” where they had some off brand junk called “Bob’s Drain Cleaner” or some crap—and so I bought 3 of ‘em—hey only 3 bucks for THREE containers of drain cleaner—wow!!!

I poured ½ of the bottle in the tub water as directed and waited—and waited—and waited. Then I poured the remainder of the bottle and waited the 30 minutes and then ran the water as directed—and watched the tub fill up like the drain stopper was in. I then poured the entire 2nd bottle in the tub and stared at it as it mocked me by hanging around. Short story –long, I ended up using all 3 bottles—“Hey, only 3 bucks!” with no results other than my tub looked like a pond, complete with pond scum. I may as well have poured LUMPY GRAVY into the tub—that’s about how useful it was. Hot glue would’ve been better! Spend the money and buy the good stuff or a stick of dynamite and remember to get a new drain cover or a “Kramer Hair Gatherer” as I call ‘em…

GIG NEWS:
The only other gig we have in June is on Saturday June 20th when we play the STONEHOUSE PUB in Lemont. This is our first time at this new bar, so mark your calendars now because we sure would like to see many of you AcoustiBobbleHeads jangle tambourines with us! The fun begins at 9:30pm—almost the same time the band does—a rather late start for we older folks…
