An incredible turn out... I can't believe how many of you came out to see us! Thanks for making a hot, miserable
day so cool!

Man you should see them swing!! All the girls were a twirling and the men were there too I think! It was great, I look
forward to doing it again next month.

Friday January 4th
Our first gig as a 3 piece! We had a great time. Small crowd, but everyone seemd to be having
a great time. We hope in the weeks to come, we'll get a bigger crowd. Thank you again, Jim for giving us this opportunity!
Some songs worked, others needed work. Let us know what you think!
Editorial:This particular gig we made a whopping $30.00 a piece and were paid in quarters! How's
that for a starving artist story?

Sorry no posts lately!
We played a gig in Tuscaloosa since the last post! I've been lazy.
Tonight, we played at Cotton Jim's in Cullman. Man was this ever a cool place! It was like a traditional Honky Tonk, but
no alcohol was served, so people had their kids there!!!! Jory Jr. Would love it! Next time we go, he'll be there! We had
a wonderful reception, and did 6 songs. We'll let you know the next time we're there. Thanks to Josh for setting it up!
Editorial: Yeah, the gig in Tuscaloosa was for a little league game in the freezing cold no where
near the field. The total number in our audience was--my wife! And so ya' know the Cullman gig was $5.00 pay per man
and it costs us $20 each in gas to get there!
Saturday October 15th
Back in Montgomery. Thank you SO much to Dot for having us down, and we look forward to seeing
you all again in the Spring (when it warms up a little).
Editorial: This is one of my favorites. This was just like the Hayride that Elvis played except there
was no hay and no ride. Oh, O.K. it was a flea market but it was fun!
Saturday June 23, 2001
Our first performance at Movie Gallery's 50's Sock Hop was a success!! We had a small, but
rockin' crowd, and it was great to see so many kids out!! There's hope for this generation after all!!
Congratulations
to the winners of the dance contest, and the costume contest!
Given the amount of time we had to practice, I think the
music came off without a hitch. We even took a couple of reqests from the audience (although LOUIE LOUIE and the TWIST are
both songs from the 60's, not the 50's.....oh well, people enjoyed them).
Editorial: This was the first billing for The Martini Shakers as a band it had no pay(I did
it for my wife). It had none of the members you see today(except myself) but at least we had the NAME.
