Here's the latest from my friend Sierra Madre Sue:
This week's photo of me and my big brother SNOTTY SCOTTY, just doesn't do him justice at all. Looking so mild-mannered and downright studious, you'd think he was one of those Cal Tech scientist-types, and not the colorful frontman for a raucous party band like SNOTTY SCOTTY & THE HANKIES! But come to think of it, those Cal Tech scientist-types have been some of his biggest fans for more than 35 years! Though they've outgrown their "Animal House" frat parties, they still invite him back year after year to entertain at their alumni functions. These are Ph.D's and Professors, mind you, so there's obviously more to this local phenomenon than meets the eye! Come see and hear for yourself, this Saturday, 12/8 at the BUCCANEER LOUNGE in Sierra Madre, 9pm. Details below.....
