OZONE RANGERS
From the road jottings of The Ozone Rangers:
We had a busy weekend that just flew by.
On Friday we played a private party in Olean
for our buddy, Cal, who recently retired.
Cal's a great guy and he and his wife threw a very nice get together with
friendly folks who enjoyed the band
On Saturday we were at
Balloon's in Ellicottville, N.Y. and had a good
crowd and a great time playing.
Lots of folks were in town for The Fourth Of July and things went so well we
were asked to play an extra set for the enthusiastic crowd.
Thanks for visits from George and Ann, Albert,
Bill, Tammy and May, The Attic Crew, Donna and Laurie, Jeff and Colleen,
Sherm The Entertainment Director, Jordan, and all The Folks From Canada and
Ohio.
On Sunday we were at
Conneaut Lake Park, in Conneaut Lake, PA playing at
The Bikes, Brews and
Blues Series at the park.
The weather was beautiful, thank goodness, and we played for three hot hours
in the sun.
On hand were Cornell Bogdan, and Fast Freddy, D.J's for Youngstown, Ohio
Rock Radio Station, WCMF, The Wolf.
Also on hand were Rockin Rich and The Crew from Classic Rock Station WUZZ,
from Meadville, PA.
We played all The ZZ Top we knew and finished the day off with some classic
blues tunes that we don't get to play often enough.
There was a big crowd of folks who seemed to have as much fun groovin' as we
had playing.
It was especially nice to meet up again with Cornell, who's The Real Deal
and on his show,
Tangled Up In Blues, mixes classic old blues
tunes with the latest stuff from today's hot blues artists. Very cool!

shows:

Coming up on Wednesday, the 8th, we're in Tonawanda, N.Y.
for their Wednesday On The Canal Series.
Long time friend and avid supporter of Buffalo Music,
Rick Falkowski, invited us down for a Southern Rock Tribute Party.
We'll play 6-7:50 laying down The ZZ Top and at
8 PM, Poison Whiskey will supply The Skynard.
Sounds like a good concoction.
On Friday
we'll be at Walleye Willie's in Dunkirk, N.Y.
playing the early evening party starting at 8:30.
The last time we were at the club our longtime friend
Audrey, said her class reunion will be partying with us so we're
looking forward to a good time.
And on Saturday it's finally here!
