November 22, 2008 - Willowbrook Ballroom

It was a Thanksgiving Extravaganza at the Willowbrook Ballroom. John Ruf, shown here backstage, brought the traditional Thanksgiving Seagrams V.O., and many of us gave thanks before, during and after the show. We are a thankful group, praise Gilbert.
Things got off to a rocky start as the house sound system nearly exploded at downbeat. The levels were way too hot, and poor Bea, proprietor of the establishment, was waving frantically from the DJ booth. Yoo Tooooo Louuuuudddd!! Unfortunately, the chaotic first moments led to a less than stellar first set. We recoverred quickly in Set 2, which was highlighted by an inspiring version of Pennsylvania 6-5000. Gooble Gobble. 

Finally, we quote an email from the afformentioned John Ruf, provider of the Thanksgiving VO: 

"I went to a Gig & woke up 16 hours later , naked,  in the basement of the Willowbrook my legs tied up, covered in gravy, with a turkey baster up my bum, and corn stuffing in my hair.. what the @#$%T@#@!!
