Merry Christmas!
Thank you, Damon Viola!
And, have you seen this email?
I'm told that there is a huge rock near a gravel pit on Hwy.25 in rural Iowa. For generations, kids have painted slogans, names, and obscenities on this rock, changing its character many times. A few months back, the rock received its latest paint job, and since then it has been left completely undisturbed. It's quite an impressive sight. Be sure to scroll down and check out the multiple photos (all angles) of the rock. I thought the flag was draped over the rock, but it's not. It's actually painted on the rock too.

Here's the artist Ray "Bubba" Sorensen.

Hey Kids..."One door closes and another opens."
King Straggler will be playing a rare all acoustic gig this Saturday, Dec 16th at Highland Grounds, 742 N. Highland Ave. This is gonna be a bitter-sweet show folks. Sweet, cause Highland Grounds is where King Straggler played their first show ever, back in the old days, before they had a drummer or bass player, so it'll be nice to play for an evening in the bands original incarnation. But as it began, so shall it end... (here comes the 'bitter' part). This will be one of the last evenings that Highland Grounds will be hosting live music. A venue which has supported great independant singer-songwriters for well over a decade and hosted one of the most consistent weekly open mikes ,(and lets not forget, gave the Straggs their start), will sadly be adopting a new formula that unfortunately will no longer feature live music. So come on down this Saturday and see where it all began and celebrate the end of a great era. Join us for the end of this first chapter, we're all real excited to see what happens next...
Who? King Straggler
What? A final tribute to our roots
Where? Highland Grounds 742 N. Highland Ave. L.A. CA (just N. of Melrose)
When? Saturday, Dec 16th, 9:30 (believe it!)
Why? Moment of Silence for Highland Grounds...Then we're gonna swing it babe!See y'all there...
