guitarman 0 Posted April 14, 2005 Hey fellow Texans!!!!!!!!! I am new to the site and have been made to feel very welcome so far. My Nameis Mark and I play in a local Dallas/Ft. Worth band. I am scheduled for surgery on April 19th with Dr. Smith in Ft Worth and I can't wait. I would very much like to meet as many of you as possible so from time to time I will post an invitation as to when/where our group will be playing and would like to personally invite any and all to come out for a good time. We play all kinds of music and really love to bring the crowd into the action. We are in kind of a Hiatus from the club scene at the moment with doing several outdoor benefits and private weddings/parties. However June 4th we will be at Hanks Grill in McKinney Texas from 8:30 - 12:30. If anyone is in the area I would love to meet you. You can always check out our website at www.souldoubtband.com for other dates as well. Thanks Much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

guitarman 0 Posted April 14, 2005 My other guitarist cut his gigging teeth in Vegas. We play everywhere actually. So Maybe we can set something up in Vegas in the near future. I would love to go back. in my other life I sell irrigation systems for Golf Courses and we have several installations in Vegas. My favorite was the MGM Grand Course they built in Boulder about 5-6 years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LisaMG 5 Posted April 16, 2005 Hello and Welcome to LBT.com Mark You hit the nail on the head when you said, It'll be one heckof a ride I THOUGHT I knew what a wild ride was about ...then I got me one of theses thingies we call "The Band" May I suggest sumthin here? GET READY ...GET READY ...GET READY! It's awesome to see a musician posting here. And you do gigs huh? We need to have another Bandster Bash down in this neck of the woods so we can jam with you guys... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guitarman 0 Posted April 16, 2005 Hey Lisa. I am Ready!!!!!!!!!!! I better be by golly.........Yes ma'am I do gig quite often. I did about 200 shows last year and that sure did take a toll on this big boy...........Whew!!!!!!!! I tell ya. You guys give the word and this band is headed your way. We just need a heads up. that's all. We are ready for the races this weekend and then we have a few outdoor festivals this summer so I have slacked off on a lot of the clubs. My heart is where the kids are. I love to play gigs at festivals where there are children. I love to see their eyes light up when they see a band for the first time. You just don't get that in the clubs but the clubs help pay the bills. Plus we do a lot of charity events for organizations such as The Down Syndrome Guild in Dallas. My boys are 16 and 14 and they actually help papa out with the shows. The ironic thing is neither play an instrument but someday maybe they will. Hey thanks for the welcome. I can ramble on for hours if you let me. They say I could talk the ears off a wooden Indian.

AnotherMe 0 Posted April 17, 2005 Hey Mark! Sending you a welcome from Houston! I know you must be excited that you're just a couple of days away from surgery.. I'm pre-band, just waiting for insurance approval. Even if I have to self pay, I'm convinced this is a safe tool and the right thing for me. Keep us posted on how things go for you during the next few days. Take it easy, take a pillow!! :cheeky (I've heard they're necessary for the first few days after surgery) Karla Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
