Burnt, Burned Out and Proud!

Murphy Slaw · April 26th, 2008, 09:35 PM

Played in the Ky sun today, raised money for kids with cancer.

FDR Honda in Paducah Ky, bikers from many groups, Christians, outlaws, ect. Scared to break any rules by mentioning any names because I am forever breaking the rules around here......

Hundreds of bikes, hundreds of kids, I swear they never stopped cooking burgers and dogs until it was over.

Anyhow, we supplied ALL the gear, ALL the entertainment, and had a ball and raised a bunch of money for a good cause and I feel good.

I'm sunburned, tired, and not gigging tonight THANK GOD......

I enjoy giving back. It's a good thing.

Best of luck.

Murph.

Murph,

All I can say is: GOODONYA!

Giving back is an awesome thing - now go put some aloe on that burn! (When ya get up on our side of the hill, ya gotta take care of your skin!)

Way to go.It's a great feeling when you can help out.
You would not have got a sunburn here today

you'll probably remember this day long after the bar gigs are forgotten.

Hey Woodman, the weird thing is I swear I haven't gigged outside live in a while. I'm a step up, get in your face lead player/vocalist and it was strange having all that light. (natural) I WAS NOT USED TO BEING ABLE TO SEE MY NECK.... I don't know how to explain it, but it took a few minutes to re-adjust.

Another thing. I was joking with the bass player about our gear. Man it looks like crap when you put a little sunlight on it, eh?

I mean, in a reliced sort of way.........

Ha.

Thanks. We did a good thing.

God Bless ya'll.

Murph.

Good for you, guy!

Yeah, I kinda envy you right now, sunburn and all. I know you'll be feeling extra special for a good long time thinking on this occasion.

MandyMarie · April 27th, 2008, 05:32 AM

Thanks so much for doing what you did! That's a great cause and you know what? How cool is it that you can help out...by doing something you absolutely LOVE?! That's the greatest thing in the whole world! :O)

Murph,

I mowed the lawn & got a sunburn yesterday...for what a sunburn is worth, I think you got more bang for the buck! Great job!

Good for you Murph! Try to drink a lot of water for your sunburn, your body needs it. You sound like a good guy!

J.Rodney · April 27th, 2008, 11:29 AM

a big Thanks to you and your band.raising money for sick kids is one of the best causes that I can think of,nothing like feeling good about helping people that really need it,that feeling pays better than cash. Thanks Again
