So we figured we'd do a show around Christmas just to get out and play . . . .
— Fielder is the best band in Quincy. Maybe the world. They just freaking rock. If you decided to stay home because it was too cold to venture out (and I don't blame you a bit) you missed perhaps one of their best shows ever.
— There were maybe 80 to 100 people at Turner Hall, about what we expected. By the end of the night there were about 25 left all standing in front of the stage going crazy. That's what a great band does, it delivers in front of a million people or 20 people. Logan and the boys played their hearts out as if it was the last night of a sold out tour.
— I know one young lass from Lake Orion, Mich., who is totally smitten with Fielder and is now their No. 1 fan. Funny how a lot of people say that after seeing them for the first time!
— The Funions played OK but we really missed Jack and Rock A. Bye. They make us unique among Quincy bands. The energy, however, was there.
— Been a long time since we've sung "Psycho With A Capital S" to Ginny and Co. ....
— Thanks to Chris and Mark at Turner Hall. Those guys deserve credit for keeping it a viable local music venue.
— Next up for The Funions is a birthday party at The Elks Jan. 3 and another show at the Elks Jan. 16. Got some stuff in the works for the spring World Parking Lot Tour, as well.

Fielder was great. The Funions were awesome. Loved the encore song, Psycho with a capital S!!!
Phony, with a capital F. Josh plays this CD in his CD player in his room. Thanks for the lesson in phonics.
