WICHITA a true tale in the truck driving saga that was my life till my early 20’s. The names have been changed to protect my life.

HERE I AM the beginning of the journey from the underbelly of the beast. From my “George & Tammy” period in the early 80’s in Hawaii, anyone remember JULIE & THE ELECTRIC RANGERS?

I’LL TAKE YOU THERE some Staple Singers influence. Saw them at The Fillmore, lotsa hippies got religion that night. Mavis walked among us.

LONG DISTANCE another one inspired by the missus during what some would call a “stormy courtship”.

A PIRATES DREAM inspired by Jim Frost proprietor of Eddie Teach’s Raw Bar at St. George Island, Fl.

STICK A LIME IN IT a summer song.

Hope you enjoy it, its been a labor of love, getting to work and play with my son and being accepted by the younger community and all the cool musicians here in Auburn, Alabama. I turn 60 with a positive feeling about our youth and the positive vibes that music still provides,
Lets make it matter, the movement really does need a soundtrack.
Lets build it up, any chowder head can be a cynic.
Lets all make a joyful noise!]]> http://theuncleroyshow.com/news.html#34 Sat, 22 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0700 The Uncle Roy Show - UNCLE ROY - News http://theuncleroyshow.com/news.html#33 Bonnie played bass and sang in The Ramblin' Rose Band. Now performs as a solo act in the E. Texas/Houston area.
She trades snappy banter with JR on the porch and plays and sings like a bird. Last Saturday she performed 2 of my songs, "live" her and her harmonica and 12 string. What a surprise, how cool is that?
That ol' band in Texas, with Bonnie and her brother Don Daley was a joy in my life, they were drummerless one night, said from the stage "any drummers out there?'" Sure enough I set up and played with them for 2 years. Just like the movies, well B movies anyway.
Hey check her out and give her a shout.


Also wanna thank the good folks at Hudsons Barn in Manchester, Georgia for invitin' me to play. had a great time thanks for your hospitality. See ya in May.

Plus The new CD is inching closer to reality, ya gotta believe!

Our hearts go out to the tornado victims. peace]]> http://theuncleroyshow.com/news.html#33 Mon, 02 May 2011 00:00:00 -0700 The Uncle Roy Show - UNCLE ROY - News http://theuncleroyshow.com/news.html#32 As "Roymania" approaches with the release of MUCHO GUSTO (the new CD featuring, sax, keys, trumpets, steel guitar, drums ... the whole shootin' match) I'll be promotin the CD with a series of live shows.

Wanna give a shout out to Kenny Heard and thanks for letting me bang on my drums to welcome in the new year at The Irish Bred Pub in Opelika. Had a great time, Jonas Schultz on keys and sax, J Lo on guitar, me on drums and Kenny on Keys ... way cool!
This year I return to my roots and play 60's music. What? music from the 60'! you been playing that stuff forever you say ... no, I turn 60 in April, so I'll be playing 60's music at least till the end of the decade ... lord willing. Should be interesting to see where that goes.
Hey gang, the new CD should be out this spring ... I know I said the same last year, this year I mean it.
Now the dilemma, continue on my solo quest or seriously look for kindred spirits to help me make a real joyful noize.
I'll be posting a "help wanted" notice with details soon!

Playing solo, troubadour style, guitar, voice and harmonica. Gots lots of new tunes to share with ya'll and as usual if I get lucky, 3 out of 5 Good Doctors, or even Country Kenny Brown may stop by and pick a bit.
Playing on the edge, goin' where the crowd needs to go, sort of serendipitous spontanaeity.
Got a brand new custom Taylor guitar, special thanks to Lance and Mark and all the good folks at The Guitar Shoppe. A batch of new harps. Some fresh tunes. Let the games begin.
Time to share my eccentric /eclectic repertoire honed thru 50 years of research, each one with a story. I'll try and only tell the more interesting ones, come out to a show see if I'm lying.

WAR EAGLE!

Solo is simplicity,
simplicity is freedom,
freedom is power.
