Hello, friends! Rob here.
Let’s start things off with a little unapologetic bragging, shall we? Behold:
That’s pretty much all we’ve been up to as a band this week. Individually we’ve done some good though. Our very own bassist George Gekas celebrated a birthday on Friday! Two hundred and thirty-seven years old, can you believe that? Dave had what I can only imagine was a raucous Easter homecoming, punctuated by the numerous solo acoustic gigs he booked in Ohio. Zack and I, inspired by last week’s glowing tribute to his stalwart facial hair, conceived of a plan which Zack took it upon himself to set into motion over the weekend. Long story short, click on the following link to help the Moustache find a name:

I sincerely hope that you will see the wisdom inherent in voting for Octavious/Octavio, but, even if you disagree, I strongly urge you to vote for the name of your choice.
Oh yeah, I guess we’re also a band and we do music stuff sometimes. More on that right now.
The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival is upon us! In celebration, we will be performing at a few private functions this weekend as well as opening for The Howlin’ Wolf’s annual “Give the Drummer Some” concert on Sunday night. It’s part of a series they do every year during The ‘Fest where each night is devoted to one instrument and they get some of the biggest names and brightest talents in the city to come perpetrate epic jam sessions. “Give the drummer some” is something James Brown would say before drum solos, and James Brown was a singer, so I’m pretty sure the evening is going to be centered around vocalists. On the remote chance that I am incorrect, it’ll probably still be a lot of fun.
But enough about me. How are you? That’s great, glad to hear it. Signing off now. Have a great week!
