I thought they were still playing but like I said I was never into country music so they're not anybody I'd have kept up with. As far as Primitive Scene/Devils Rock goes I only went there a few times as I worked from 7 pm to 7 am six nights a week between 1977 and 1980 and having a night off on a weekend was a rarity! How about Nightlife... does that name ring any bells with you? They were one of the few really hot bands around here for a while in the early 80's. When I confronted a couple of the guys in the band about doing our wedding one night they checked their schedule and both of them said almost in harmony "might as well... about half of our regular crowd will be there anyhow" :) Being a bartender at one of the area hot spots back then we drew a lot of the same crowd that Nightlife played in front of.

Yeah... small world for sure but that's not him and I'd rather not put my friend's name out there... he passed away at a way too young age of 26 back in 1981. If I'm not mistaken Bill Pitcher and Bill McDonald along with his wife Kay got together and formed the band "Ghost Riders". The two McDonalds are well established in the music scene playing all over the country at some point in time and they wrote a lot of stuff too. It's been a really long time but I'm pretty sure they were nothing but hard core country music and I never saw them myself. I'm not sure but I think both of the Bills might still be doing gigs... maybe not together but separately? I don't care much for country so I haven't heard anything about either one of them in a very long time.

Talas live at the Primitive Scene... aka Devils Rock. The last time I went there was to watch boxing matches! A very good friend of mine was the sound guy for Talas for a while and I used to get the opportunity of hanging out with "the guys" when I attended their gigs. There was also a place near Lockport that I can't remember the name of right now that they played at occasionally in the later part of the 70's. They were without a doubt one of the hottest local bands around at the time that's for sure! There was another band named "The Nightlife Pickers" for a while and then they shortened it to just "Nightlife" in the late 70's and early 80's that did a slew of gigs all around the Batavia area. All of the guys in that band were good friends of mine and we lucked out with their scheduling and got them to play at our wedding reception in the fall of 82. I'm fairly certain we must have bumped into one another likely more than once from reading a bunch of your posts concerning the Batavia area.

Looks like some of you NYSEG customers (depending on your location) are in for a rebate. https://www.thedailynewsonline.com/news/nyseg-customers-to-get-rebate-after-settlement/article_8290bc78-67a1-434d-8634-03fd52f84a0d.html

I don't know what "good things" you've heard about T-Mobile but my neighbor has it and he can't wait for his contract to expire in November. They might be great around the metropolitan areas but they flat out suck out in the boonies where I live. I see him walking around out in his yard frequently trying to get a signal and he told me about the only time he even TRIES to use his cell at home is for a return call to someone that called him. He'd really like to dump his landline but he doesn't dare to until he has a reliable cell.

They're fantastic but unfortunately their coverage area is fairly small... mostly within mid-sized to larger cities but that's about it at the moment. I have a friend that lives in the city that has Empire and I'm sooooooo jealous but when I called there to check availability in my "rural" area I was told we're not even in their expansion plans yet.

AMEN! This crap of sending the whole front line on first and second downs and then turtle up into the historical McD soft zone on third down totally frustrates the crap out of me! It's a good thing my TV isn't smart enough to get pissed off at me cuz I'm screaming my azz off at the poor thing every time they do it!

Cool... I guess I am now one of the "Me Too" peeps! I walked into a convenience store this morning to pick something up on the way home and the first thing I saw inside the doorway was a giant display full of Pride Month crap... I turned around and walked right back out. And I will never go back to ANY store belonging to that particular chain again!

Mary Ann for me too! By the way... ALL of those programs mentioned are still running on good old channel 29 which is now METV. Nothing but oldies... my very favorite channel. Barney Miller on twice every night... back to back :)

I've come to a firm belief that you've invested every nickle you've ever scabbed from the government over the years in Alcoa stock. That tinfoil hat you're wearing has got to be enormous!

Gotta bump your own propaganda Dude? Maybe if you took some of the intelligent people off of your Ignore list you might be able to see something shocking... like the legal time he was allowed to be in that position has come to an end.

You got that right... get back to me when she's within 50 pounds of what her weight SHOULD be. From what I read in that "profile" of her pretty much the only exercise she's ever gotten is in her two thumbs "working out" on her phone.

I've been around long enough to clearly remember Dad dragging my Radio Flyer into the Rockpile with a keg of beer in it. We always sat in the corner of the endzone nearest to the main gate and I usually got to ride back to the car in the wagon with the keg... which was MUCH lighter going out than it was coming in :)

Unless you've actually SEEN a coyote in your yard I'm leaning more towards it being a fox myself. There's a pack of coyotes (5 of them last time I saw them during the winter) living in the 200 acres of woods directly across the road from my place and I've seen one of them in my yard a couple of times before but just last week we heard that death screech you're talking about behind our house and when I turned the lights on back there I saw a fox running away with a bunny in its mouth. I've heard it many times before but it still amazes me at how loud a little bunny can scream! :edited for spelling
