Maybe a Big Carbuncle of a sort Hipdot :lol:

.....I'll get something up there soon :roll:

Gotta take some safe and precautionary measures before this Mega-Storm hits. Little REO Speedwagon's Ridin the Storm Out will have to suffice.

Hey Chef baby, where's your avatar? Or maybe we should pick one for you? Any suggestions?

by **Peaches** » October 24th, 2012, 6:18 pm

Just listening this evening to When You Dance...would luv to hear this one live!

by **Gary** » October 24th, 2012, 11:14 am

Avatar is not a cartoon, but it does have a character. Photo is from the Meet and Greet at the Masters of Music evening at McLoone's Supper Club in A.P., back in March. Southside and Bobby were posing and signing that evening, and when I spoke to Johnny, he was very warm and gracious. He was laughing, and answered my questions, which he had probably heard 100 times already that night. Then we turned so that Mr. Cavanaugh could take the photo. A few days later, I received an email containing what you see to the right. Man looks like he's ready to run screaming into the night. I swear, I didn't touch him.

Spent the weekend in Jim Thorpe and of course with my luck a week before the Jukes tickets went onsale for the April 19th show. Found a reasonable hotel close to Penn's Peak. It's the Country Inn & Suites by Carlson Lehighton Hotel at the Junction of the Pa. Turnpike and Rt. 209. Has an indoor pool and breakfast is included. We had fun eating at Roadies this past saturday afternoon......Can't wait for April......Chek are you in???

by **working girl** » October 22nd, 2012, 9:18 pm

Thanks so much!! I missed the board!

by **BostonDave** » October 22nd, 2012, 1:31 pm

As the Animals once said "Before We Were So Rudely Interrupted"....
It's great to have the old board back!

by **SGslinger** » October 22nd, 2012, 10:21 am

Can not wait till Saturday night and the New Hope Winery to see Southside and the Poor Fools. I've never been there tho I hear it's a great place.

by **marksie** » October 21st, 2012, 10:10 am

I finally got off my duff and downloaded Southside's live "Men Without Women" from I-tunes the other day. Probably hesitated because I've never been a big fan of live albums, but this one is a killer!! The band was smokin' that night, very impressed as to how faithful they were to Steven's original LP which I still play on a fairly regular basis. Really enjoyed hearing South sing "Lyin in a Bed of Fire" and "Save Me", two of my favorites, but truthfully, there isn't a bad song in the bunch.. Jeff's take on the title track is also a highlite... My 22 year old was home the other day and recognized the music right away because his roommate has the original vinyl lp, asked when Southside recorded it, he couldn't believe it was a live recording, he thought it sounded that good!! Haven't stopped listening to it..

by **Gary** » October 21st, 2012, 4:30 am

Hey L.I.! Jukes at the Paramount, Huntington, NY 3/2/13

by **Tasha** » October 20th, 2012, 11:39 pm

Some notes from last night at Showcase Live.... Before singing Baby's Gone for Good, SSJ admitted that hearing Elvis Costello sing it Tuesday was a thrill. The romantic banter intro to The Fever involved Southside advising a young man up front that the way to keep the heat in a relationship is 1) to get up and make the coffee in the morning and 2) not to leave dirty underwear on the bathroom floor. That Southside sure knows the way to a woman's heart.

by **Miss October** » October 20th, 2012, 4:03 pm

Yay for cartoon avatars!!

by **MikeinNJ** » October 18th, 2012, 1:56 pm

Good afternoon - Like others, I don't post too often, but do have a look frequently. And was a big mouth on facebook complaining about that setup. I am so impressed that South, or whomever, listened to all of us and came back to this old fashioned version of a message board, that we all seem to prefer. Nice job, great that you listened to the community. Another reason to cheer for Southside and the Jukes. Thanks, Mike

by **Peaches** » October 18th, 2012, 11:39 am

I luv the horse, of course!

Tasha, that is Ab Fab!

by **Tasha** » October 17th, 2012, 9:35 pm

Well if we are going with a cartoon theme... :lol:

by **VicL** » October 17th, 2012, 8:18 pm

So very glad this board is back. Just can't get into the whole Facebook thing.

by **marksie** » October 17th, 2012, 6:32 pm

I loved Keexdraw, as BabaLouie would call him.. and of course their trusty seldom seen dog, the always hungry Snuffles. As for Joe Rockhead, like Michael Keaton once said of Barney Rubble, "What an actor!!"

by **quilly** » October 17th, 2012, 5:47 pm

Marksie, you made my day by recognizing the fabulous El Kabong! He's so underappreciated in Cartoonland. Sometimes standing in the front by the speakers, I feel like I am being brained by El Kabong.

I must say that I'm also am very impressed by your Joe Rockhead avatar. Nice, deep Flintstones knowledge there...

by **marksie** » October 17th, 2012, 4:06 pm

ps.. Quilly, love the picture of El-Kabong!!

by **marksie** » October 17th, 2012, 3:50 pm

Such a relief to see the board is back!!! Didn't like the facebook thing at all.. Bummed that I'm going to miss the Light of Day show in Toronto next month, not so sadly I'm leaving for a week long golf trip to Cuba that very day... Going to try and make it to the show the night before in the Falls..

by **brokedownpieceofman** » October 17th, 2012, 1:27 pm

Until the better videos get posted on YouTube, this shaky video shows what quilly & Peaches are writing about. One of the many moments that made last night amazing.

by **Peaches** » October 17th, 2012, 12:47 pm

Thank you, Quilly!

It was heavenly to be in the same room with Steven, Bruce and Our Fearless Lead Singer last evening.
They seemed so thrilled to be together; the vibes were incredible!

Thank you, John. The new version of the old message board is a gift! Now I know how Pam Ewing felt when she woke up to find Bobby in the shower (so to speak)....it was all just a weird dream sequence!! But, here we are, back where we belong. Thanks again!

Peace, Love & Peaches

rluvbeach - They're on sale already. I bought mine a few days ago. Here's a link to where to buy them online: https://web.ovationtix.com/trs/pe/9704874

by **rluvbeach** » October 16th, 2012, 10:55 am

More of a lurker than a poster, but i'm glad this board is back

anyone when tickets for the lake worth florida show go on sale?

by **celticchef** » October 16th, 2012, 7:13 am

Juke........You're right in that the Peak is a great venue. The Pole Barn might be a better suited for a Poor Fools show possibly. I've seen a couple Jukes show there and they always Rock there. Southside always arranges one hell of a setlist for Penn's Peak show. 8-)

It's wise to stay overnight because it's a trek from NY & NJ. Plenty of nice places to stay in Jim Thorpe(Maxkwchunk) and nearby Lehighton. The panoramic views from the wrap around deck at Penns Peak are breathtaking.

Gotta meet up with my Buddy Chek for one or two Shawnee Microbrews...... :roll:

by **Juke Ellington** » October 15th, 2012, 8:49 pm

Penns Peak was an awesome venue - plus they played "Im so anxious" last time which Ive been wantin to hear for a lonnng time.
Cant wait!

by **celticchef** » October 15th, 2012, 3:19 pm

Gary...........To make matters worse.......Swisher makes a great throw to Cano who tags the runner on the chest and is ruled safe. Umpires out of position led to this bad call and the Skipper had enough already.

Getting tossed to motivate the club didn't help either. The Malaise has set in so Detroit can get out the broom because the Yanks are gonna get swept with an all time low in batting average as a team. :cry:

by **Gary** » October 14th, 2012, 9:34 pm

CC, it is a sad thing to behold. Consider this: Cano should have been safe at first, with RBI in first. Yanks win in bottom of ninth, and Jeter does not get hurt. If ifs and buts were candy and nuts....However, like you say, offense has disappeared, and now back to Detroit already two down. Don't look good.

by **celticchef** » October 14th, 2012, 6:33 pm

Chek........Jukes return to the Peak in April.....will wonders ever cease?

Could be a little nippy out on that deck at Roadies......I'll be heading to Jim Thorpe soon for gandering at foliage :lol:

by **celticchef** » October 14th, 2012, 6:28 pm

Gary, I've never seen such a pitiful offensive display and now the Yanks have the dubious record of being the only team in history to have bases loaded in 3 innings and not score. :lol:

Yanks are hitting like Southside hitting beachballs with a guitar.....

LOL Hello to all and I hope to see some posts by Peaches, Forever Young, and Rose Walsh. At least the Giants taught the 49ers a thing or two! CC

by **Suzanne** » October 14th, 2012, 6:00 pm

I usually lurk, but boy an I glad this forum is back! Saw the Poor Fools in Kent, Oh and had a great time. Now I'm itching for a Jukes show, maybe in Cleveland this winter, please?

by **ashleyc** » October 14th, 2012, 3:06 pm

tonyb, the 2 dates in july were a part of a blues festival and not dates organised by the band directly. the tour that has been a part of oct/nov for many years has been "canned" for 2012.

by **thefakejuke** » October 14th, 2012, 10:55 am

I don't post much , but love to hear all the news and views, welcome back

by **tonyb** » October 14th, 2012, 8:30 am

Welcome back to all who posted for many years

Its been a quiet summer without the message updates and being able to ask the pressing question:

What happened to the British tour this year? Just two gigs in July when I was working outside the U.K.

Any news on on British dates more than welcome, anyone?

by **seanny11** » October 13th, 2012, 8:40 pm

Agree about the Freeehold Raceway Show.

Southside was awesome. The entire band played amazing.

Just a fun, fun show!

Shades of 1980. :mrgreen:

by **Juke Ellington** » October 13th, 2012, 6:43 am

Hoooooray!! Missed this place.
Freehold raceway was a damn good time.
Random thought - I recently put the jukes live radio recording from cleveland (9/15/1980 at the agora) back in rotation in the car cd player - what a perfect set, and the band and johnny both sounded on fire. The banter with the crowd pretty entertaining too. Hope one day he brings back the sam cooke medley back to the set 8-)

by **Hip dot** » October 12th, 2012, 10:35 pm

So, um, where's the QOTW button? Yes, I know I'm needy. But I have great hair.

by **Hip dot** » October 12th, 2012, 10:31 pm

About bloody time too!

Kidding!

by **Gary** » October 12th, 2012, 10:12 pm

How 'bout them Yankees, CC? They sure made it interesting. Sorry about the Reds, JK. Yanks win ALDS, message board is back. A good day.
