Come check out Rocco’s car at Automania tonight!

This is Jesse’s (Blues Bashers guitarist) 1970 Dodge Coronet RT 440. It is similiar to the Super Bee, without the wing in back. They are kind of rare. He bought the car about 12 years ago here in SD and took the motor apart about 8 years ago to get more horsepower (it’s up to about 475 – yeah – not a green machine, about 14 mph). He finally got it back together and running last week.

He jokes that it didn’t run during most of the Bush Administration . . .  which is a good thing.

South DaCola music club w/The Sneakies

The Sneakies were the first band that I hung out with on regular basis. The bass player (The late Matt Staab) and the guitar player (Jesse Christen of the Blues Bashers) were always fun to be with. They weren’t the best band in town, but damn if Sideshow wasn’t funny. This was their final DEMO they put out and their best work. I bet if you go to the old Ernies on 12th Street you’ll find this tape somewhere.
