The Radioactive Squirrels Last Hurrah...

The Radioactive Squirrels played their last gig just this past Saturday over at Kenosha's Cooler by the Lake. Frankly, the venue was too small. Over a five year run - five years plus or minus - the band built a following that could easily more than fill that familiar little bar.

Over their run I eventually because their more or less official photographer. In truth I never did them justice and they have my apologies for that. But what the photos lacked the music didn't. The band did no originals - everything they did was a cover from bands popular during the 60's through the 90's. The songs were, in short, crowd pleasers - as was the band itself.

Whether the Squirrels played someplace as small as George's Highview or as large as Dirty Nellies the quartet strummed to please. The band was at its best when the crowds were happy and digging it.

There's a lot to be said about the Squirrels but as I'm no writer I won't be the one saying it. Let the photos say what they will.

Guys, thanks for five great years,
Mik

And becasue I can...

Taken outside of my place of employ a couple of us - all Obama supporters - saw this woman, her cart and her dog in the basket. A picture was called for. The only issue was the Obama button on the dog's hat. The choice to make was whether to get the dog's button or the dog's face. Little Foo-Foo's pretty mug won out.
