Heard bout you forever but never saw you live - hmmmm - never saw ya dead either thank God. Finally I won't be gigging tonight and I'll see ya at Eagles SP. I live blocks away - a member. Used to play a lotta blues - "Blues Powerhouse" "Hot Buttered Soul" - 70's. Now solo keyboard man - "Billy E" - got too hard keepin' musicians together with chincy economy. Now do solo gigs for "Assisted LC" to "Frats" like the Eagles, Elks, Am.Leg. Lookin' forward to finally seeing you tonight. http://www.angelfire.com/funky/billye

You gotta be the same Gene Hardage who went to Berry College back in mid 70's. We jammed together in Rome GA and went to ATL and saw BB King at the Electric Ballroom. I was friends with Jay Barker. Congratulations on living your music, man. I always thought you were one of the most talented blues pickers I had ever met.

Gene... I will never forget when my wife and I came to hear your band ( I believe the place was Bongos) near Anna Marie Island and after not seeing you for over 30 years I asked if you guys could play "The Martha Berry Fight Song"... You peared out from under those cool shades and remembered your ole' Berry picking buddy. When you guys were jamming and you took your guitar off and handed it to me during the song to allow me to exercise my 5 stanky fingers of funk again...I was in Nirvana. I am proud of you, man. You are truly living the dream. When I am in Bradenton I always look you up to see where you guys are playing, but to my dismay ya'll are always booked SO FAR AWAY. Keep sending me your schedule and I WILL see you again. Love You, Man.

Nice website Gene! I see you are playing over in Tampa tomorrow night.... We don't know the venue as we still are kinda new to the area. Maybe I'll try to get Lisa out of the house tomorrow.... we are the family from CA that met Alison and family through sailing.

Gene - Just wanted you to know I've been streaming a half dozen of your songs as my Feature Artist for about the past week (mid-April '08) at the rate of a couple of plays every hour, 24/7, at www.MusicTampaBay.com. Enjoyed catching your act and meeting you briefly a few weeks ago at The Ringside in St Pete (with David Kelley, who has my #1 song this week). I think I’ll Be Your Fool and Living in my Suitcase are good fits for my music playlist and will be added into regular rotation. Keep on Rockin - Rick@MusicTampaBay.com

For those of you that try to frequent SS performances and missed the Harley show at the pier in St Pete, you DID miss it. Slim, Josh, and TC absolutely tore it up. Never have 2 geetars and a harp battled so fiercly as what I witnessed in their last number. I swear, the goosebumps were as big as nipples. When those 3 get together, you gotta be there. No doubt!

Hello.
Would you be willing to spread the word about www.draftresistance.org? It's a site dedicated to shattering the myths surrounding the selective slavery system and building mass civil disobedience to stop the draft before it starts!
Our banner on a website, printing and posting the anti-draft flyer or just telling friends would help.
Thanks!
Scott Kohlhaas
PS. We would rather see the band break up the draft than the draft break up the band!

You won't remember me, but I used to hang, occasionally, at the warehouse in Fruitville about the time they pushed I95 through the cattle pastures of east Sarasota, as they say "back in the day."
In fact, I was with Chip Voss (at his mom's house on Webber Street) when you brought Pam by to meet him. Sometimes poor eyesight IS a blessing...
Anyway I live near the beach in Melbourne but missed your gig at the Beach Shack. Let me know when you're due back in town.
Another venue to think about is Lou's Blues on the beach in Indian Harbor.
http://www.lousbluesupstairs.com/
It's a little more "local" than the Cocoa Bch crowd and these locals remind me a lot of what Sarasota used to be - but has since been over run by "transplants."
Anyway, best regards and I hope to get to hear you soon.

Just wanted to say that I LOVE your CDs. I don't know when I'll be in the St. Pete area again, but I'll do my best to spread the word about you in the upper Midwest. I had a great time at the show--wonderful, move-you blues and a witty bluesman to boot.

Hello "Mister Slim",
I don't know if you remember me. I'm french and I use to come to the green Iguana 2 years ago when I was working at the air force base in Tampa. I played very few things on the organ and it was great time for me.
I hope the jam session still exists and you still have good time every monday evening. Thanks again for having given me few CDs from you, I often listen to them remembering good time.
I discovered you web site which is really good. Thanks again for so good music and long life to the Blues. Do you know if Shaun Brown has a website? If yes would you please send me back his adress.
I do now live around Paris, if you are to come around here , let me know I would be happy to meet you again
