Nice article about our friends from Lyons Classic Pinball in the Longmont Times Call !! 
Producer and keyboardist on the track , Craig Patterson now reminds me ... during the recording , we used a 60's Leslie rotating speaker [ without its' cab ] for the Hammond organ . The Leslie had been sitting in storage for years , we fired it up in the studio and to our horror , bees had built a hive in the cones of the rotating speaker, and as it spun , it fired out bees like a catapult !! It was then named and forever known as " The Bee Launcher "
Thanks to all the folks that helped us " Cinco de Merco " !! It was Mary's B-day , she was in rare form !!! [ still don't know how old she really is! ] Great seeing the folks from the hill , Brian , Ev , Rick , Buddy , Ann , and B , who all danced up a storm [ we had clear skies , a rain storm , a little snow , followed by clear skies and a almost full moon, ah, springtime ] That's Louie doing the hat dance ! Special thanks to " Jose " Howlett , Sarah , Rainbow , Laura , and the whole gang at the Merc ! The food was awesome , somberos set the tone , and many , many cervezas were consumed !!! Viva la Merc !! See our new gig photos !!
THE NUMBERS....The Burns Twice Juke Box [our web site music player ] racked up over 12,000 plays for the month of April !!! The live tracks from our last show at The Buffalo Rose came in at #1 with 898 plays.....Thanks to all the listeners and downloaders !! Visit our web page for a new track every month !!
