Jeffrey’s Last Band Concert

Clayton — Fri, 14 May 2010 16:48:44 +0000

Jeff played his last concert today. His grade sounded really good and I'm sad that he won't be going on with the trumpet in High School next year. I did the same thing with the Alto Saxaphone when I went to High School, so I guess I can't really say much. I'm glad he got the experience that he had, and I'm sure he learned a lot of valuable music lessons that can be used later in life.

Westward to Dighton, Kansas

Clayton — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 05:00:00 +0000

The band heads to Dighton, Kansas to headline the Dightons Backyard Bash. Penny and Jeffrey go as well and camp at the fairgrounds in Dighton. It is a 4 1/2 hour drive to Dighton from Wichita. We all meet out there for some barbeque, car show, and live music from 5 bands. Unfortunately, as usual for Shagdaddy, it rained. Hard. It soaked the P.A. system and they were forced to relocate the music to the local American Legion building. The band, 'Plan B', provided their P.A. and played first.Ã‚Â Then Shagdaddy got up and rocked 2 sets of kick ass rock n roll. It was a blast!Click here for a video of the days events! We returned Sunday afternoon and relaxed. I think we need a small break from camping. This month had no weekends at home.

Lake Afton again!

Clayton — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 05:00:00 +0000

We went to Lake Afton again. This time Clayton's band, Shagdaddy had a gig at a wedding reception. The reception was in a pavilion at Lake Afton. Louis, our lead singer is a friend of the groom. We camped at a site within a hundred yards or so away from the pavilion. Clayton went to play the gig from 6 to 9 on Saturday, but that didn't cut into our camping fun too much! We hung out with Gayle and Darlene on Friday night. Darlene had to work Saturday morning, or they might have stayed like they did last weekend. We always have a great time with them.Jeffrey was a little bored this time, but did get some horshoes in and helped with the band setup and breakdown. He helped himself to some of the food there too.All in all it was a great weekend. Click here for a few more pictures Penny cooks up some grub for Friday dinner. MMMmmm taco's!

A very old gig

Clayton — Mon, 28 Feb 2000 02:05:59 +0000

Here is some really old video I dug up. My first gig! At the Cripple Chicken in 1991. Wow, that was a long time ago. Also, a jam at Clayton's house that restarted it all.
