This is the page that reports the poop! Every week there's a blow out quality hoe-down in Dayton, and it happens at The Trolley Stop every Thursday at 9:00. It's called The Acoustic Revival, and you can expect dicey manuvers and high shinanigans. The photographic evidence will be complied, reviewed, and displayed here for easy viewing. Check back every few days to see what went wrong the previous week. Lots on this page, so let it load even if it takes a bit (and it will...).

This has been another TrolleyBUZZ page, so stay tuned and check back for the numerous updates that I will undoubtedly post when I get the casts off my wrists. Carpel Tunnel Syndrome is a lot less funny when I have it. At this point I can't operate a door knob. Well, really any knob. Frankly, until I had this problem I never noticed how "knob-centric" our society is. I mean, try to find a standard door without one for crying out loud. It's like, I don't know, we're all knob-aholics or something. You think our founding father and mothers invisioned a world totally dependent on knobs?

A lot of folks don't get it. But universal understanding is completely beside the point. Because it's Beer Love, and words just don't cut it.

Whether you grin like a giddy school girl when you figure out it's cheaper by the pitcher, or some unenlightened type has made fun of you for telling a joke to your pint, you take the high road. Because the slings and arrows of a callous world matter not... when you have...
Beer Love.

As I've said many times before, The Acoustic Revival hosted by The Trolley Stop keeps getting better. Each week something amazing happens on the music front, and our little demented family grows by a couple of Players, and I get to know some fine people a little better. Though there was some sniping at the last show, this week it was bells and bobcats. And the music part of the equation was off the scale. Between Greg Biltz and Jim Hiller, and then Scott Marshall and Kevin Hardwick, we saw the best of what The Revival is about. To say nothing of the other folks who made the scene. We also had a great night of meeting and greeting, with new and old faces mixing it up in a very fresh and freaky way.
READ ON LOVE CHILD...

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Meet Mister Badass...
Caucasian Shaft!
("He's a bad mutha..."
"SHUT YO' MOUF..."
"...but I'm tallkin' bout
Causcasion Shaft!"
...THEN WE CAN DIG IT!")
I dig his threads man, oh yeah.

Hey, we had a new guy make an appearence at The Acoustic Revival. This player fired off some dandy wisdom, including a fine bit of banjo work. His name is Charlie Lute and we like his style a bunch. He really tore it up and we hope to see him again soon.

Ever wonder how someone like Britt Brand ends up so happy, healthy, and well adjusted? Blame this guy. It's the Britt-Dad! And next to him is the Britt-Brother. Seem like great folks, and they were very tolerent of Britt's bad behavior and unpleasent odors during her performance.

Few events at The Revival have inspired and moved us like the recent work of Greg Biltz and Jim Hiller. Together or solo, these are the type of Players we hoped would come to the show. Their duets were some of the best music I have ever heard anywhere. As individuals they are just as amazing. If you've missed them you owe it to yourself to get out to the show. This is not just another Thursday night, this is The Acoustic Revival. And you won't see this level of talent anywhere else.

Jim Foreman, Darren Maddox, side by side, posing for the camera. Each apparently insane. What do you do? Give Jim some quarters, so he can play his video game. Give Darren a zany shirt and some extra-strength hair control substance. If that doesn't work, give them guitars, because they're both smooth Players.

At first we thought it was really cool when Regis Philbin show'd up. Then he starts hitting on all the babes and when they tell him to shove off he says "Is that your final answer"? Eventually a couple of thugs hauled him into the courtyard and hung him from the gate by his underpants. Bad show Regis, and that is MY final answer.

When Good Girls Go WILD!!! Lookout, that one good girl gone wild is going to hit somebody with her BOOB!!! And that other one is trying to hip-no-tize me! Help, HELP, the good girls have actually gone too wild! TOO WILD!!!

No question about it: one of the high points of the last show was when Kevin Hardwick and Scott Marshall saddled up and blasted their own brand of hybrid acoustic mind-screw rock out over the assembled throng at The Trolley Stop. It was fantastic, really cool stuff.

In some non-music related Kevin Hardwick activity, you may recall the incident related in the last TrolleyBUZZ where Kevin was nabbed red-handed while gazing into the lovely canyon of this woman's cleavage.
Photographic evidence displayed below suggests that the severe beating he endured for this affront to feminine dignity had no lasting effect.

Scott Marshall had some non-music related business of his own. Much comment ensued when he yanked off his turbin to reveal his new James Brolin Model 71 Hair Module. The reactions were divided into two camps - The Tickled and The Angry. Above you see an obvious member of The Tickled group. And to the left there, a furious Britt prepares to hand Scott the beating of his life for, as she put it, "Letting the sight of YOUR head into MY head." She is SERIOUS...

In addition to Greg Biltz and Jim Hiller, we had large number of other regulars and newcomers. Dave Shields was there, with a pal. New player Dave Mengerink (sorry if it's not spelled correctly, I couldn't read your writing) did a number and showed great promise. He also brought out three fabulous babes. So, you know, nice job Mengerink.

Marishah P. killed everyone again, and Darren Maddox proved he was no fluke. The Berzerkle got everyone all crazy and happy, and Britt played some songs very well. Mr. Britt apparently has a prehensile tongue, which I imagine is why Ms. Britt looks so happy.

Everybody wanted to know - who's the new girl? Beautiful eyes, lovely hair, killer body, who can she be? And hey, haven't I seen her on The Addams Family? (let this be a lesson to those of you who try to duck the photo guy).

Would you let this man mix you a drink?
Yeah, me either. But this wonderful woman did. She claimed never to have done a shot before and our buddy Jason "Huge" Ruge was there to fix that situation in a hot minute. To be fair, the words "side" and "effect" were mentioned, but it all seemed to be harmless fun. Then we all got a good look at what The Huge One considers an appropriate amount of Formaldehyde to include in a mixed drink. Honestly, it's a lovely shade of green. And the foaming at the mouth deal was slowing up considerably by the time the night was winding down.

Lot's of folks out to The Acoustic Revival lately. There you see our new pal Caucasion Shaft with a bevy of foxes. Charlie Lute also brought some friends. Here's another nice moment with the family Brand, spoiled by The Berzerkle (who, in spite of outward appearance, is apparently an enormous wise-ass). There's a fine shot of Britt and her man, Lee Harvey. And would that be a Foreman? There's two of our favorites, Jim Hiller and Marc Homan, playing to beat the band. Ah, and the beauty of Bullwinkle's, Jenny Brown, and her man. What a night? What a NIGHT!

The FezPimP. A more diabolical fiend you will never meet. As those of you who follow this page will remember, he was vanquished by the lovely Danni, who used her stupendous chests to swat his head like an overfilled jug of egg whites. But the FezPimP is no slacker when it comes to plotting evil. He ponders, he probes the stinky nether-recesses of his twisted super-villian brain. And then, with a spasm of glee he produces the next turn on his twisted road of madness. Danni can only hide her eyes as he cackles and unveils his next nefarious plan to destroy her. What will, what can Danni do to save The Trolley Stop, indeed, to save Dayton itself, from the salty palmed hands of The FezPimP? You will have to surf in next week to find out!

And the cavalcade of stars continues! One of our favorite actors from one our favorite shows, James Gandolfini from The Sopranos! Michael Imperioli (Christopher Moltisanti) and Lorraine Bracco (Dr. Melfi) also stopped in. Check out their work on HBO. It's not TV!

Chad Johnston, in addition to his funny hat collection, came out and played some songs. Did a fine job with some help from Dave Shields. He says he'll be back real soon.

Couple more shots of the pros. Look for big things in the future from these guys, trust me. As Mr. Biltz says, "It just keeps getting better and better".

It was another wild wacky night at The Trolley Stop, and The Acoustic Revival keeps humming along, picking up speed, and the new faces keep rolling in. See you Thursday, and remember KC and The Reverend Dave appreciate all you folks showing up and bringing this thing to life. COME ON OUT.
