.....from the never ending dripping sarcasm of

JIM ZAROULIS of the JIMMY Z PIANO BAR

This Tuesday and EVERY Tuesday night at
The Haluwa Chinese Restaurant and Lounge.

And as always, featuring the Cowbell Enhanced Dave Ayotte

Play one - Drink one is our credo and motto
We play them all night until we're totally blotto!

New tunes for tomorrow night too:
We're going to pay tribute to:

Izzy Stradlin'
Keith Richards
Brad Whitford
Malcom Young
Johnny Colla
The guys without the slide in Lynyrd Skynyrd

And the best part......no piano solos at all tomorrow night where I will be pioneer the emergence of the Rhythm Keyboard Player.

This is a night you don't wanna miss!!!

There's a seat at the Piano Bar waiting for you!!!!

8 - 11

Be there...........or you suck!

I raise a question of great importance.....

Where the hell has Kevin Desmond been?????
He used to be a Tuesday night staple, he was even a Lowell Rocks regular for a while.

Did his tapeworm reoccur??
Is that leprosy thing acting up again?

Is he alright??

Anyone?
Anyone?

Desperately Seeking DESMOND!!!

Jennifer stole the show last night, what is she talking about!!!

I think last night was definately a top 5 Piano Bar night.

LR Friend's list:

Dot
Paintcan (her husband Pat)
Charlotte
Ellen
Jennifer
Jennifer's Mom Sandy (Oh Sandy....)
Erin (who I can't believe came out and STAYED!)
Casey (newest LR member!)
Swanee and Judy!!
KENNY LEMIERE with his daughter!! (you should have seen HIS performance!)

I think Jennifer is referring to our table dancer much later in the evening. A little "Too Much Information" if you know what I mean. Then there was the "fashionably challenged" gal in the black and white plaid skirt with fishnets and white boots. Her "performance" made a Thursday night at the Old Court with CMMR look like an episode of Romper Room.

Other than that...........it was awesome!!!!

Thank you to all. My apologies if I missed anyone.
Here's to next week!!!!

I hope you didn't get a talking to because of that chick's table "dance". That had to have been one of the dirtiest table dances I have witnessed. Chris, Ellen and I averted our eyes.

Unexplainable pretty much covers it (no pun intended).

And speaking of cowbell ( I was just at the Ayotte Bros. thread).....I failed to mention the amazing percussion section we had last night during "Girl from Ipanema".

Dot nailed the straight eighths on tambourine, and I quickly showed Charlotte how to play a 3/2 clave on the cowbell. Neither one of them missed a beat. Dave moved over to bongos, and we had a Latin breakdown, it was Awesome!!! It was actually the most thrilling part of the night!

Great job girls!

Thanks to Ellen's amazingly graphic description of last night's event(s), I feel like I was there. I'm just not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

I have to say that last night was beyound interesting to say the least..... But an incredible night of fun none the less- JZ I saw that look on your face during the infamous piano dance, then I saw AL and all I could think of was "this chick better not mess up our TUesdays!" -- how selfish is that!!! Ans I almost s**t purple twinkies when Kenny walked in the door-- great to see you again Kenny-- and dont worry-- I understand the MAI TAI thing!!! MY only complaint is that last night went by WAY too fast ( as it always does ) and now I have to wait 6 whole days until the next one-- our pre Bon Jovi blowout!!
