Mon, 19 Dec 2011 17:33:47 -0500

G.s. Harper
Tonite is my last gig this year. As I was thinking of that, I was doing a little reflecting on 2011, and I gotta say, it's been fantastic. I'd like to thank everybody who hired or booked me this year, I had a ball. Gotta give a shout out to The Screaming Rooster, The Beachland Ballroom, The Barking Spider, Brother's Lounge, The Parkview, Smedley's, Doc and Louie's, Stamper's, The Fairview Tavern, Arturo's Bar and Grille, Bobby O's, The Treehouse, The Southside, Prosperity Social Club, The Cro bar, The Happy Dog, Stone Mad, The Harp, Julian's, The Kent Stage, The Livery (MI), Sportsmen's (NY), the very fine folks at Honky Tonk and Hillbilly Haiku house concerts, Pat Chrosniak, and Kerry Capwell, all for bringing into your clubs or houses to make a little music. If I forgot somebody or someplace, I sincerely apologize, you all mean the world to me.

I also need to thank all the people who hired me to play with them, or asked to come out and make a little noise with them this year- Kristine Jackson, Colin Dussault, Mike starcher, Bad Boys of Blues, Diana Chittester, Mary Curtrufello (MN), The Freebyrds, Jack and Josh, Jimmi C, Jon Noble, No Such Thing, Code Blue, Jimmy stamper, Professor Leatherpants, my brothers in California Speedbag, Mark Jungers (TX), Whitey Morgan and the 78's (MI), Linda McCrae (TN), Brent Kirby, and anyone else I had the pleasure of playing with this year.

For all of my guests that hired out to play with ME, thank you so much for a wonderful year of music- Michael Bay, Becky Boyd, Bubba, Andrew Zeager, Jeff Sherman, Jim Monica, Brent Kirby, Jim Wall, Pat Christopher, and my brother's from the G.S. Harper Trio, Steve Renko and Adam Constantine.

I know I missed some people, as is the nature of these things. Feel free to call me on it when I see you next, but most of all, thanks again to everybody. Cleveland is the greatest music town on earth, and I'm proud to know and work with all of you.

For all of the fine folks (especially The Waffle House Gang) who troupe out to see me and my friends do out thing every week, in all kinds of weather, and for all kinds of reasons, know this- YOU are why it happens. Without people to listen to and support live music, it doesn't get played. Buy yourself a beer from me, you deserve it!
