Tricks Forum

Miss ya Rich.
I know, I know,... I got lots of pictures and videos to add to the archives.
I want to find some good video of us when we were doing some strange cool songs like "Radar Gun" or "Why Part II". How about "Bandittos" or "Heads In Mississippi"?
I have a box full of video tapes from Stan's and Daisy Mae's and who knows where else...
It's just a matter of searching through hours of tape to find the best stuff.
Maybe I can do some of that this week while Krys is gone.
Or maybe in the spring...

"Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around".

Bill R gives Richie a big hug. You old dog you.

BR, Thanks do you still have your long locks!

What a great, great night Saturday night. Friday was very busy until mid-third set and then kind of dropped off to a small but attentive crowd.
Saturday was another story entirely. A great gang of Tricks faithful and lot's of first-timers came out to light a fire us up and put out some "Premium Rock" as Rick puts it.

Thanks to all who came out to be part of a fantastic night. We always appreciate your patronage but especially when everyones in the mood to Rock Out!

The new T-shirts are here! The new t-shirts are here!
Thanks to Roger for helping us finance the considerable t-shirt cost.

We have a big batch of girls and guys t-shirts in various sizes, all ready to go.
We'll bring the boxes of shirts to the Wayland Hotel this Friday and Saturday.

The guys t-shirts are maroon with orange and white logo.
The girls t-shirts are brown with pink and white loge.

The Tricks Logo is enhanced with Krystal's new "squiggly" graphic with little peace sign, like on the front of Steve's new Gretsch kick drum.

10 bucks to cover our cost.
We're basically a non-profit band, after all.

Krystal's new squiggly Tricks logo, replace the orange with pink for girl shirts

Hey Krystal and Rick, my mom and dad said they stopped down last night and had a wonderful time. I sure do enjoy listening to you guys. I will be up again in July so hopefully I will be able to stop in.

Megan, there's good ol' ma and pa cuttin' the rug with Tricks at the Hotel.

This Saturday, April 18,
Roger has offered his driving services and his motor-home 
to drive a bunch of you from the Dorr / Wayland area to the Sidetrack.

He says he can pick you up at your house between 7:30 and 8PM;
And he'll have you back home around 1:30.

Roger has room for about 10 or 12 people.
Tips for the driver are fine, but not necessary;
Tricks is helping Roger with gas money.

Today, Saturday, 4PM until Tricks starts at 9, the Sidetrack bar is having a Catfish Fry. $10 per plate, $5 for kids (10 and under). It's really really good, and you can always count on generous portions at the Sidetrack.
Tricks last big blow-out night tonight - we've had awesome fun nights last weekend and last night. But we're saving the best for last.

Sorry to miss this wk-end fun times. But as I told you RICK, I've got grandma time to do. Rock ON !! See ya all at Hillard's.

 Thanks for all the great tunes!!! I will say it again ( YOU GUYS ROCK ) We had a blast! Your 20 years of friendship is very special to me.
See you in South Haven!!!!!!!

My daughter Katelyn wants to get one of your t-shirts and needs to know who to contact to get one. You can contact me at 681-0402. Or contact Katelyn by email at katelynbregg@yahoo.com. Thank you!

Elaine,
Your best bet is to come to the 4th of July celebration in Dorr (see calendar). Only because we don't have a mail order system in place. Right now, you pretty much have to come to a gig to get a t-shirt, but, it's worth it!!!

Elaine, I sent an e-mail to Katelyn's address. I said that if she can't make it to Tricks on the 4th, we can mail her a t-shirt, and then pay us $10 any time later. You can always contact rick@tricksband.com for all your Tricks questions.
