Karla-Hey! Let me know if you're comin' to Montana! My family would love to meet the Schardin' brood!! Gas prices be damned!
...and yes, the new disc is in!...although I think you were part of the mass mailing that got that info an hour ago, hopefully. Hope all is well!
Pam and Shanna!-For some reason, I thought there was only one N in your name, Shanna. And I thought pammmm was spelled with 4 m's. Dangit! God bless your childeren for their impeccable musical taste and influential parents. Eventually, whatever music you like will be deemed nerdy, so I only want a couple more years of your influence, then I want you to just casually leave cd's near the home stereo, but don't say anything directly about the disc itself. Hope you guys are doin' well! Pam, I put you on the email list. It seemed like you weren't there. If you're suddenly receiving 2 emails for each message, let me know.
Pam and Shanna

Hi Tom,
Shanna and I just got online to order the new cd while all the kids are in the dining room chanting "give me one kiss, baby just one kiss...plant one on me lover..." Let us know when we can get it.

Hey Tom!
Is the CD ready yet? I'm excited to get one! Still missing the good ol' days. Ahhhh.
I'd like to take the family to Missoula this fall, if we can afford the gas, maybe we'll only get as far as South Dakota. Damn Gas! But we'd love to see you play again! Hope you are doing well.
Peace.

Rose-...I know, I didn't actually land anything during the time that you are here. Apologies. Its trickier than it sounds, I swear.
Merlon and Annie- We would love to come to Belt! I'll give Thad a call and see what we can pull together! Thanks for the tip.
Merlon & Annie Alcorn

yo,...
Michelle Dannels-...and a hearty muah to you too. Travis is in charge of the Indiana World tour! All suggestions should be directed his way! Thanks for checkin' in. Its great to hear from you. Give us a shout if you head back to Missoula sometime.
Wife #1-Operation Biga seemed successful. He did seem suprised, but Travis and I shouldn't have parked so close to place. We sang Happy Birthday at Salmon, and for his present, he didn't have to take a solo. He was overwhelmed with emotion at sentiment, I believe.

Wife #1

Happy Birthday to the cutest member of the band.... I know you are all thinking, "Which one is she taling about? They are ALL good looking." I'll help narrow it down for you. Sometimes he sits when he plays, sometimes he stands. Still don't know? Ok, this next bit of info will help.....he is turning FORTY on Sunday the 27th. If you are at the show in Salmon please wish him a happy birthday!

Gibson-Clean up a little and buy some groceries every now and then, will ya?
Holly-Look forward to seein' you. For all the snow we've had, today actually does kind of put you in a BBQ mood. Kind of sunny out there. Likin' it. See you the 28th.

Hey Tom--I know you are reading this. I just wanted to let you know I moved in to the guestbook page and I'm leaving dirty dishes and laundry everywhere and I may have left a water bottle in the van this weekend.
Number 2! Missed you on V-day. All the wives except #1 of course came over and made food. Glad to hear you will be back so soon! Tom did paste up a picture in the "pics" section of use wearing tuxes. Strange how the beard made me look so short.
"Jodi." - I'm not sure if "Mike" has recieved your message but I'll be sure and pass it on to him. The beard went to the recycling center last week (see note above about beard-induced optical illusions).
Holly "2nd wife"
February 17, 2008
Hey Y'all...I wanna see a photo of all you guys in tuxedos! Holy cow! Warm up the BBQ, cuz I'm almost out of Antarctica....I should be home for your show on 3/28 at the Union Club. Yee-HAW!
Nancy

Jon, We had a blast at the Hair Ball! I adopted a dog named Klondike that is going to be shipped up to Kodiak, AK. Sorry I didn't have the chance to hang out much this time, we were on the road early in morning. Hope to see you again soon!
Jon
February 12, 2008
Hey guys! Great seeing you in Red Lodge for the Hair Ball. You guys were awesome and everyone had a blast.
P.S. It was nice of Gibson to grow a raging beard just for the Hair Ball.

Pam and Dana! That was a cool little adventure. And it was fantastic to see you guys! Wrestling doesn't scare me, unless for some reason I get involved, which luckily didn't happen. Dancing is always wonderful! Talk to you soon.
Ellen-see you in a few hours!

See You tomorrow!

Thanks so much for taking the time to venture to this frigid land. We all enjoyed the music and your great company. Only hope you weren't too scared of the late night wrestling and poor dance moves. Please come back some time!!

Brad-stop shouting, there are people trying to get some serious work done in here,...jeez.
Ellen-Tell Dave the old people at the big top in the back want him to turn it down a little, ...FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD!!!
...and yes,...youtube! My brother joe put those up from a show he and two of my sisters FLEW out to see in Salmon, ID. The came in from L.A., Houston, and Flower Mound(tx). I still can't believe it!

Hey Tom, David Boone is playing Wed. for the first time at the Spice! Be fun to see you both but alas, Friday nights do not work for me (neither does Missoula really) And very cool that you are finally on youtube!

Hey Effje. Brad and I were just chatting about you in Chico a few weeks ago and remembering the good 'ol days when famous Dutch fish techs used to hang out in central Montana. Hope all is well. G

Thanks Joe! Those clips are great! Thanks for doing that.
note to duck and joe: spent the afternoon doing dishes and cranking "songs on the the radio" as mason played in the backyard. I should probably check on that guy...nah!!...."Sweet and Low!! Sweet and Low!!"

That is very cool indeed; Songs on the Radio is a Texas classic, as is Shake. I think Shake and Dana should reuinte for an Austin City Limits gig....

Hey Joe... Where you going with that gun in your hand....
Actually I have Songs on the Radio on vinyl, but nothing to play it on. Maybe Shake will have Cd's for sale on Sunday. The guitar player in my band was the producer for Songs on the Radio and was the one who coordinated Shake performing on Sunday.

Hey Roller, Did you get my email.
Joe
November 1, 2007
July and August were hot and humid, just like June and September, come to think of it October had some 90+ suck to my couch, can't breathe without cutting off a slice of air first days... I find that I can usually consume enough beer spritzers to have a stranger tell me that it would have been wise for me to keep my pants on while smashing the beer bottles over my head. Add WT 101 to the mix, and I fear the next morning I might find myself in the emergency room with my newest transgender Pilipino wife/husband trying to explain to me in broken English how I got that spider web tattoo on my neck and 3 Mexican prostitutes ended up with my kidneys... The moral of this story is:
Even if you are a transplant to the south that can’t hold your liquor, an evening of chugging alcopop, retaining your original paired organs, and listening to TC and the Clerics is better than bad neck tattoos and surprise weddings to Asian girly-boys.

Directed to joe's post dated oct.24
There are worse times to be south of the mason-dixon line than oct. try july and august. By the way, surely you can get some wild turkey 101. Beam and coke, might as well order a beer spritzer.
California Joe
October 30, 2007
Cuddly Duck - is that Pete? That's an alarming moniker for an ex-fireman but all that aside.... Congrats on the gig and I've got Songs on the Radio on CD if you ever want to borrow it.
tom
October 25, 2007
We'll be thinkin' of you, Joe, the whole time! Maybe I'll try and get Brad to give a little awkward fish talk between sets, in your honor. Brad, you up for that?
Joe
October 24, 2007
Nov 9th 2007...
I will be dreaming about drinking too many Olys and beam/coke doubles at Chico, while I am giving an awkward fish science talk to a bunch of biology professors below the Mason-Dixon Line. Getting wasted in Montana beats public speaking in the south 10:1.
tom
October 22, 2007
Duck- YOU LUCKY BASTARD! That is awesome! I would just love to see that guy play again. Its been like 20 years now. Ridiculous. He must in his mid 50's, maybe? "Special Music" sounds kind of scary, though. It not like a "lock-in", or anything like that, is it? I could only take "travelin' texas" a few times in a row before I started losin' it.
Cuddly Duck
October 20, 2007
Tom,
I just heard my band is going to share the stage with some guy name Shake Russell on 11/11/07. Apparently Shake has agreed to play the "special music" for our church service.

The snowplow song is "Cumberland County" by Fred Eaglesmith.
Tom's snowplow song, which he hasn't written yet, is entitled "Ain't No Snowplows in Texas."

Ryan- Thanks for offering to open up. Its always kind of a fun dynamic and you sounded great. Deathbed or not.
Nancy- I'm kind of trolling for forks a little these days. Thanks for reading the ramblings.
I think its the shape of the spoon that sends it down the disposal faster than the fork,..or even the knife,..or, heaven forbid, the garlic press!
Nancy
October 13, 2007
Its a big world out there, often crammed into a small bar.
Heh. Tru dat. I also like your fork metaphor--how many have we missed? or bumped smack dab into?
And why, oh why is it only spoons that fall down the garbage disposal--and never forks?
ryan
October 13, 2007
hey, thanks for letting me open up the old set last night. vocal chords, who needs em. the cold that I was fighting , however, kind of made me have to bow out early. I'll have to hear those new songs the next time.
tom
October 13, 2007
I don't think I have any snowplow songs, dangit.
kathy
October 12, 2007
what's the snowplow song? I love your ramblings by the way. Love.
It is 90 degrees here and the 8 day forecast say 87 88 90 88 88 etc etc and I have missoula dreams.

Quebec is right, although you'd expect a lot more silent letters from those sneaky French bastards.
I didn't see you having the pre-amp problems, I was busy tucking into a fabulous Guinness mushroom steak. I tried to eat some seafood risotto before my set, but the damn thing was full of clamshell pieces! Not something that normally happens at
Sean Kelly's. Happens at the Shack all the time, though. Even when you order spaghetti.
Had to leave at 10:15 to liberate the babysitter, but I did get to hear the snowplow song, my absolute favorite. Listening to Fred's stuff (and, honestly, some of yours) makes me feel like I'm writing ditties, not real songs.
But who doesn't like a good ditty?
f. catmull
October 9, 2007
I considered bad mouthing you briefly when my pre-amp crapped out on me after being doused in beer. But alas, it wasn't you. Avery immediately fessed up, graciously offered to remedy the situation should sound not return from that thing,...and then sure enough, the next day,...after the beer dries up,...pre-amp magically works. God bless the Baggs para-acoustic d.i.
I enjoyed listening to your set, but hated my guitar sound and was feeling like a little baby without a rattle after the pre-amp thing.
Eaglesmith was amazing! I hope he comes back here someday,..although isn't he from Quebec? And how the hell do spell that anyway?
Bob F. Wire
October 8, 2007
HEY! Did I just hear somebody bad-mouthin' me?!? If you were, and you know who you are, you can be assured that punishment will be swift and terrible.
On another note, I enjoyed sharing the bill with you last night, Tom. And thanks for bringing that much needed glass of gin, er, water up to the stage in the middle of my set.
Everyone who missed out on seeing Fred Eaglesmith is to be pitied.
tom
September 29, 2007
will do, duck. That would be an interesting party, I just couldn't swing it. Hope all is well, sir!

Larry Here
September 26, 2007
So, I come all the way over here, you know, I actually left Myspace, and what do I get? Slash. Sounding exactly like me on lead guitar way back in '02 or so. If Slash keeps practicing, and even learns to play a little bass, he should be OK, though. Wow.

Jon
September 25, 2007
Great show in Red Lodge! What a blast! Yes, we are working on getting you back here in Feb at the Bll 'n Bear. We can't wait to see you guys again.
Did any of those pictures come out from Oktoberfest?
tom
September 18, 2007
Bill- Thanks for chimin' in. It is as fun as it looks, for sure. It was great to be plopped in the middle of an "already popular" town event that involves, primarily, the consumption of beer and brats,...and the wearing of silly clothing. As a musician, you can't really ask for much more.
Lexy- Air guitar is in no way nerdy...."why, I air guitar all the time!"(evidence that it probably is nerdy, I suppose) Dan Funsch is the Man!!! We used to play as a 5 piece that invoved a "rotating 5th player" (Either Dan, or fiddle, or mandolin). But alas, we have kind of settled in as a 4 piece band now, even though I occasionally try and talk Dan into playing with us when we can afford it! There was some talk of setting up another show in February at the Bull N' Bear again to see if we can get more people out. Thats kind of where we're at right now. I'm sure we'll be back soon. That was way too much fun not to try and repeat soon. Thanks for hittin' the site!
Lexy
September 16, 2007
Hey, Tom and co. This is the enthusiastic dancer in the white shirt and jeans (yes, the nerd w/the electric air guitar). Thanks so much for the great evening at the Red Lodge Oktoberfest. So surprised today to see that my old friend Dan Funsch plays with you sometimes. Please, be sure to bring him next time you head our way! Which will be???
Bill Barnes
September 15, 2007
You guys MADE the Octoberfest in Red Lodge. After a day of the traditional stuff your band sent the crowd home rocking. What a pleasure to see people doing what they like to do. Travis brings the tempo up and the rest of the band ensures that the vibe is delivered.
tom
September 10, 2007
Ryan,
Its always good to see you out there. I must tell you, you didn't bump into my guitar. I was kind of purposefully jousting for the hell of it. What "crack-up" I am.
Kathy,
I'll start hittin' the ramblings again this week. Good to know somebody gets in there, occasionally!

Ryan here again. Tom, egads! I must extend a most sincere apology for banging haphazardly into your guitar at the Old Post last night, whilst trying to manuever to the other side of the room. Too crowded I tell you! The students must be vanquished! Ok, that might possibly be slightly extreme... but yes, very sorry.
kathy
September 8, 2007
I feel I need more ramblings. Has it all been on hold since July? What are you plotting?
Ryan
September 6, 2007
how-didly ho-didly, thought I would stop by and give a belated thanks for the great show on my b-day at the union a few weeks back. wanted to catch y'all and say howdy, but it was mighty packed in there. oh, and the hip strip deal was excellent as well. great idea, whoever thought that up. alrighty good sirs, ciao
tom
September 2, 2007
Did you notice that address? Its supposed to be kind of "subliminal" even. Its hard to find that small a font.
It was cool talking to you guys at Sean Kellys. Not to be too sentimental here, but it is indeed a pleasure to know you guys. If you guys show up to the Old Post, remind to hand Karli a few CD's per our conversation.
hasta,

Thank you for stopping by the old guestbook. It's been all tumbleweeds and dried up cactus in here. Hope all is well at the office. PUSH THAT PC INTO THE BOSS'S PARKING SPOT!!!
