Hoy Hoy-
Greetings from the Casa dos Gatos. A couple of special guests this evening. In their honor I am pleased to intersperse the commentary with some incredible Bossa Nova from the amazing Gilberto family, Astrud, Bebel, and of course the Master, Joao. So wherever you see the yin yang, 69, click on it for some music that’s perfect for a summer evening. Some of it you’ll know, some of it you won’t, but I’ll bet you’ll love it nonetheless.69
Big big big crowd in The Friendly Confines tonite. Large representations from most of the majors.69 While The Sapphires take the week off, we do have Team Hinkey, Folkie’s Fockers, Tighter Than A Banjo String Racing, Crabby Young Pharts, Facial Shot Racing, and Crustacean Sensations. 69 Team Aftermath makes their second appearance and we’re joined by a new team, The Screamin’ Seaman Racing Team (I assume they’re Sailors).69 As I said, we’re joined tonite by two lovely visitors, Joanna and Isabel. They’re from Brazil and they represent the Sao Paulo Chapter of the Banjo String Racing Team. A truly wonderful addition to our little Crab Racing Party.69 All in all, it ends up as our second straight Natural Sellout at the Mecca of Crab racing.
The usual suspects are with us. Your host Steve Schrader, Ricky The Four Inch Wonder® behind the bar. 69 Thursday Night Shane is in the Kitchen and Rhonda’s on the floor, SERVING US ALL!!!!!. The labels on the Table and the Red Stripe on the DJ Deck can only mean one thing, it’s time for-

I’ll wrap it up with one more from Brazil’s finest. 69 The Crab’s will be in Haogland on Friday June the 5th and will return to Folkie’s on June the 10th, when, weather permitting, we’ll be out back on the Patio for the first of our two au fresco summer shows. Hope we see you there. Until then, he’s Sonny Starr.
