THE HAILERS: hale and hearty 8.21.14

THE HAILERS appeared at Ireland's 32 in Van Nuys CA for a boisterous Irish party of a gig with sets of their original blues rock that already sounds classic and assorted Stones-y covers. Sitting in for a few songs were singer Carol Casey and harpist Tom Austin. Strong vocals, strong playing, fun musics...

THE HAILERS remain:

Robert Mills - guitar and vocals;

April Carson - bass and vocals;

Billy DiBlasi - drums; Lori Herek - backing vocals; Vince LeBauve - guitar and backing vocals; Richard 'Koz' Kosinski - keyboards.

OUR ONCE UPON A TIME SPIDER LILIES

Spider lilies grown at home back when it actually rained here. All dead now, not allowed. 3 inches of rain per annum extant for the last three years and 8 minutes of watering mandated for our entire half acre, civic council conveniently forgetting A) never to allow water-guzzling, massively high-density multiple-unit housing that they rubber-stamp for maximum property taxes and B) without the asphalt, this area was a natural savannah, like the Serengeti--  seasonal rain, lots of plant growth with bulbs and grasses and certainly enough water for lots of wildlife.
