Ok, This blog is mostly for the benefit of those on Facebook from my hometown that may be in the savannah area this weekend, or that may feel up to making a drive to hear fun music. I will be playing in Savannah this weekend. For those of you that haven't seen the band that I have been with the past 5 years or so, here goes......... Friday and Saturday we will be at the Wild WIng Cafe @ City

  It was March of 2001, we had just moved from the first AVP location on Old Alabama to the 2nd one on Old Milton Parkway. It was the first Monday after the weekend we moved, which was also the Monday after St. Patty's Day. I Was at my cube in the back of the office and I hear a knock on the door. I got up and opened it. In walked a lady that claimed she was the new accounting/shipping &

Ok, time once again to catch due to my slack ass blogging habits. Actually, lately I have been trying to more of an effort to actually write in my journal. You  know, actual pen and paper...hahaha! For thos of you born in the past 20 years, that is what you had to use before computers. I actually write in two journals, one that is in real-time (in other words writing about what is going on now)

In the past 26 of playing the bass, only the first couple of years was I ever really nervous playing in front of a crowd. Excited I have been many times. Big crowds, special events, New Years in a packed Greenville Wild Wing..... whatever the case may be, but I haven't felt nervous really since doing a recital in high school on the Double Bass (upright bass for those that not knowing what the

First of all many thanks, to all the fine folks that came out last night especially those that sang. There was a lot of good talent last night. We did three new ones last night. Lit Up by Buck Cherry. Sean sang it and even though we weren't planning on playing any of the new DM ones, I thought it came out pretty darn good. I look forward to playing it tonight in the 90s show. Sober by Tool.

OK, time for some more of Johnny's Random thoughts.........First of all, Happy belated Independence Day to all of you. The 4th is a special day for me (as, I'm sure it is to most of us) for the fact that my parents are naturalized citizens. Now don't get me wrong, I don't think their citizenship is anymore important than those of us that are citizens here by birth.....a citizen of the USA is a

As I have stated in previous blogs, during my musical career thus far, I have been very fortunate to play with very talented drummers. some from the past include Brent Cash, Pat McDonald, Scott Bachman, Matt Donaldson, and Brian Keaney And that certainly includes my current gig(s). Skelly, Chadwick, Rodney, Joey (when I get to play with him which is pretty much never.), all great drummers.

On Monday May 19th, 2008 I played at Smith's Olde Bar in midtown with Sean Thomason & The Halls Of Jupiter. We/they opened up for Jimmy's Chicken Shack. For those of you that don't know, Sean is the lead singer in my regular band(s), Stone Cold Fox, Electric Boogaloo, The Dock Martins, and Rock mafia. Unfortunately, his Bass Player, Mahlin, had a family emergency to tend to and was unable to

Once again it seems that my thoughts are starting to back up in my head, so I need to unload them onto paper. Well, in this case, convert them into 1s and 0s. 1st things 1st, I would like to thank each and every one of you that made it out to the last Insatiable Stallion Brothers show at the One Star Ranch Sunday night.

When I was just a wee lad (Then they called me Tangerine Julius), I remember having a stack of record LP's (vinyl for those born in the 80s) that my dad let me play on his old record player pretty much when I wanted to. One of those was an album called Cattle Calls. It had a song on it called Cattle Call that I used to love to play and sing along with. The artist was Eddy Arnold. During his

Monday was the debut of The Insatiable Stallion Brothers Band. A 9 piece Band formerly known as Lou's Blues Review. Lou's Blues has been around for about 21 years or so playing old soul and R&B music in the Atlanta area. The original members include Lou Vandora (Guitar, Vocals), Michael Milsap (Keyboard, Vocals), LaRue Riccio (Drums), Wally Tirado (Tenor Saxophone). The new members are: Steve

Along with Rock Mafia, Stone Cold Fox, Electric Boogaloo and The Dock Martins, I also play in another band. A band not in the SCF Entertainment family. Kind of a side project. The Insatiable Stallion Brothers, is a 9 piece, Rhythm & Blues Review type band. We play songs from the Motown era, Stax, Old Soul and some Blues. The instrumentation is Bass, Guitar, Drums, Keyboard, Tenor Sax, Alto

When I joined the jazz band late in my freshman year in High School, I met an incredible drummer by the name of Brent. This guy was ridiculous. I had only been playing bass a couple of years and I knew very little of what I know now. But I did know, that this guy could seriously play the drums like nothing I had ever seen. What I would learn later, lucky for me that it was not much later,

Ok, once again I'm in the mood to blog, but have no subject matter. So here is another installment of Johnny's Random Thoughts/Blog First up, House Cleaning! While it is not so hard to get the house clean, why is it such task to actually get started. I woke up about 11 today and I really need to clean my garage, clean all the junk off my dining room table. gather all my stuff for my taxes,

Just got home from having a couple of drinks with co-workers and our Hitachi Rep. I don't really have anything to talk about, but for some reason I just felt like blogging. I only had two drinks and I am not even buzzing. So here goes a blog on "nothing". Let's start with The Rocket. I was watching some of it in our lobby at work today. It was kind of gut-wrenching.

A while back I wrote a blog of my favorite sounds. I think it all started with a question on Inside The Actors Studio. I think James Lipton's survey at the end of the show asks the actor what their favorite sound might be. SO I asked myself and I realized that I have several favorite sounds........... Now I am updating that list and adding a couple of new sounds. ................ Here are my

Hi everybody. Yeah, I know, The blog has been MIA since June. The last thing I wrote about was seeing the Police in New Orleans. A lot has happened since then. Lot's of stuff. We'll get to that shortly. First let's talk about the main thing that has been keeping me from writing this blog. For the past two years or so I have had a bit of a sleeping disorder. For longer than that I have snored.

OK, the band is playing in Columbia this weekend, but not with me. I, along with my good buddy Jeff, will be in New Orleans tomorrow to see my favorite band of all time -- The Police. I saw them once during the Amnesty tour in the late 80's. When they played in Atlanta, Sting brought Andy and Stewart out for his portion of the show for a short reunion. Otherwise, I have Sting many times in

It's been a long while. In fact, about 8 weeks. I know that because the last blog was written right after the first week of The Rock Mafia. And we just finished the first set of 8 weeks for that. With that in mind, we are the beginning of a new set of 12 weeks. Every Thursday @ the Alpharetta Wild Wing Cafe. We usually start around 10, earlier if enough people sign up early. We actually would

OK, a lot to talk about. This past week was the debut of The Rock Mafia. We played our first gig on Saturday, but it really started for me on Wednesday. That's right, Wednesday night I met up with Doc, one of the managers at the Alphy Wing, to hang the screen and projector for the lyrics. Doc did most of the hard work. He ain't afraid of a ladder, that's for sure. I was there for about 2 hours

This weekend we return to Greenville with a little twist. Instead of Boogaloo on Friday, The Dock Martins will be in the house on Friday with Electric Boogaloo rounding out the weekend on Saturday night. I hope to see all of the regulars there. Yes, Sean will be back. And it will be the last time to see us until we are back in June with a Stone Cold Fox/Boogaloo Weekend. Dig it! Orange Julius

Then finally the debut of the Rock Mafia Live Band Karaoke. More on that later. Thursday night, we all got there a little earlier than normal so we could go over the initial Rock Mafia list with

It's just down the street from The Fieldhouse, another bar that we play from time to time.. Friday 2/23/2007 - The Dock Martins - Doc Copas Dacula, GA I got to the club about 8:45 on Friday night. Richard was already there. The sound system

OK, this weekend didn't start at a gig. It started Tuesday when I got a call from my roommate Ashlee. Most of you know her as Luna Ashlee. She happens to be the lead singer for SCF's newest band, Foxxy Cleopatra. Anyhoo, Luna was calling me at work to inform that Sean, our lead singer, Had come down with the flu or something like that. Basically he was ordered to stay in bed through the week,

I can't believe I haven't blogged since December 11th. I guess so much has been going on that I just never got the chance. Let's start at the top. The end of the year was a doozy. The week before Christmas I had shows (mostly privates) Tuesday through Friday of that week, ranging from Birmingham to Greenville. Lot's of traveling in short amount of time. Not to mention, driving down south to

This weekend we headed to the coast. Friday night Bluffton, SC as Stone Cold Fox and Saturday night in Savannah as The Dock Martins. Talk about a laid back weekend. When we got to Bluffton, they told us not to start before 10:30. Most of the Wings want you to start no later than 10:15. The soundman there was a Scotsman named Ian that I had worked with before at the Hilton Head Wing. Really

We played in Suwanee this weekend for the 2nd week in a row. Once again the crowds were great. Friday night was packed for Stone Cold Fox from beginning to end.  Most of our Suwanee friends were in the house....Tim (a.k.a. Jimmy Walker), Skip, Britt, Luna Ashlee. Also it was good to see the return of Erica to the bartending staff.   Saturday night, however, was a bit nutty. The crowd was great,

A major announcement  for all my peeps livin' in the ATL. Starting tonight, the Alpharetta Wild Wing will feature a different SCF Family Band every Thursday. Basically it will be a rotation of the 6 current shows(White Leppard Crue, Slippery When Wet, Stone Cold Fox, Electric Boogaloo, Dock Martins, and Foxxy Cleopatra). the First month looks like this....... Tonight, Nov. 30th - White Leppard

As stated in an earlier blog, OJJ and some Family members went and checked the Bond on Turkey Day. Many of you don't know this, but OJJ was and is somewhat of a 007 fanatic. I even have al the Ian Flemming and John Gardener books. I think my edition of Dr. No and Casino Royale are both 2nd editions. Unfortunately no first editions. To hard to find. The new movie........not bad. I thought it was

As most of you know, I have a weekday job. At that job last Tuesday, we had our annual "Thanksgiving Lunch". The usual fair: Turkey, Ham, Stuffing, Sweet Tator Sooflay Souffle, etc etc. Then on Thursday I was at my parent's house in Brunswick, GA. Again, Turkey, Ham, sweet tators, etc. Later that night, after viewing Casino Royale (Another blog reviewing it,  coming soon), I headed over to my

OK, Finally I saw it. I met up with the Right Reverend Rolo P. Coltrane and saw Borat. Possibly one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Warning to the ladies. A lot of toilet humor. You might not like it or get it. Warning to the fellas. No warning. Go see this movie! You will laugh your ass off all the way through to the end. If you have seen Borat on Da Ali G show, it a lot like that.

I don't know what what was going on last night, but as I drove from Augusta back home to Atlanta after the gig, there were dear everywhere on the side of the interstate. Usually there are a few, but it seemed last night that they were every half mile or so. What was going on in Dear Land? I wonder if the had their own sort of Wingstock? I mean to dear get together at the side of the road for

Nice crowd last night in Columbia. Not much for dancing there, but they were really into the Dock Martin's show. More of a stay in their seats, concert mode show, but they were loud and responded to every song in a positive manner. We even gave them a handful of 80's songs even though they were quite happy with the 90's. Afterwards Skelly , Lindsey and I went to Denny's. MMMMMMM MMMMMMMM MMMMMM,

A little known fact about OJJ.....even though I like to bring the Funk to the party, I am a bit of a country fan. with that being said.............. As I'm watching the CMAs tonight, I noticed that both Miranda Lambert and Faith Hill's bass players are sporting mohawks. Is tonight country mohawk night? What gives? So if I ever decide to pick up sticks and hit the Nashville scene, do I have to

OK. I know. There have been a lot of gigs since my last post and Halloween. My apologies to you all. Things at my day gig have been a bit hectic and I haven't had much time to get to the blog, nor the scf website. (The website, that's a whole other story. I promise that I will get something a little more interactive up shortly after the Xmas holidays. Possibly a message board of some sort.) I

August 25th (The Dock Martins) – Alpharetta, GA – Wild Wing Café Friday night brought us home to Atlanta. We start the weekend off with the Dock Martins show in Alpharetta. I don't know why but it seemed like we hadn't been there in a while. It was good to see Doc, Mike, Jennifer and all the folks on the staff at Alpharetta. That night 105.3 was doing a remote when we got there with some sort

August 18th (Electric Boogaloo) & 19th (Stone Cold Fox) – Greenville, SC – Wild Wing Café Friday night we rolled in to G’Vegas. During set up the vibe in the room was unbelievable. I think everyone was ready for some 80’s. After a quick dinner with Sean, Chadwick, and our friend Leslie, we had to marathon through sound check to start getting changed in time. Once we hit the stage, it was on

We've had a few questions about the Sunday shows on our calendar that aren't on there anymore. In September we were going to start a new thing at the Alpharetta Wild Wing called Stone Cold Sundays. Basically, Stone Cold Fox every Sunday from 8-11. It has not been cancelled, just postponed.......... As to not compete with Sunday Night Football, Stone Cold Sundays has been rescheduled to start

Being the month of love, I thought I would bring out some of my bitches, so I brought the Orange Juliets with me, LaQuiesha Kaufman and Miss. Mary Mack. They danced all night.

Songs such as: In The Midnight Hour, Mustang Sally, Funky Broadway and Land Of A 1,000 Dances. He will be missed, but heaven just got a little more funkier. Dig It, OJJ

Ok, so I’m a little late updating this. Sorry. For this one, I turn over the blogging to Bobby Mullett of The White Leppard Crue………….. Halloween weekend was a nutty one. It started with Stone Cold Fox on Asheville on Friday night. Pretty decent crowd. It was good to see Dave there. Seems like he has been working days for a while now. Also, seems like the OJ’s Dawg Pound was back in action.

First of all, let me start this post by sayin' Happy birthday to the Asheville Wild Wing. That's right it was one year ago that Asheville opened it's doors.

This weekend the SCF tour bus rolled in to G’Vegas South Cakalaka! The word from Rick Lethal and his AquaNet Squad is that all went well. With the Boogaloo in the house, I don’t see how it could ever go wrong. I even heard that Creeper mad an appearance. And even crazier, Johnny Angel was rumored to have come out front to sing lead on a song. I’d possibly trade my big purple hat just to see that!
