The right pane is no longer on the pages--something all the tekkies at WetPaint (our host) have done in order to "improve" the site. The new Autumn Fire color was our idea. If you like it (or not) post a thread in the discussion forum.
WE HAVE A NEW WEB ADDRESS: lovetheboomers.com
It kind of says it all, don't you think?
And, we have a new email address: mail@lovetheboomers.com.Of course, you can still reach our site with the old web and email addresses for another year.
and now this from our sponsor . . .
. . . says it all, doesn't it?
Have you met Pump #5? Bob Helbig caught up with him recently. 5 is just as mad as the rest of us about the gas prices.
. . . and, ALSO BROUGHT TO YOU BY . . .

We celebrate the 4th by playing for the Cresson Fire Company this Wednesday night at 8.

Zupe and (our very own) Dave Nichols, friends and collaborators for years, have an exciting new album! Hear more at Zupe.net (click the link below).
Zupe has published an entertaining piece on his site, Zupe.net, titled "Zupe Becomes a Temporary Boomer." We've taken the liberty of reproducing it here.
Welcome Lyres! A great guy and a great musician, too. See his posts in the comments.
CK&theBoomers was featured Friday, June 1st, 2007 in the Altoona Mirror's Go Section's "Behind the Music." Click this link for the scanned newspaper article.
Many thanks for the promotional efforts of our friend Bill Heil. Bill and Pauline are the best friends a band could have.
The 2008 Oldies Show featuring The Boomers and Johnstown Classic Rockers was another great success.Thanks to Ron Piljay, Chuck Bender, Jack Michaels and the Rockers for making it such a fun event.
Thank you Jaynelle your continued work on the Boomers MySpace site. Your dedication is a testament to Bakerton's one and only "The Machine."
Jaynelle's "The Boomers" MySpace FanPage It's really snazzy, isn't it? It even has a rare version of "Long Train Runnin'" performed by all of us in Still-Water that we forgot existed.
NEWS. . .TheBoomers had been holding auditions and this guy was near the top of our list!
la da dee . . .
This guy also got our attention!

Curly's favorite groundhog PUNXY PHIL SAYS: "Share the warmth, enjoy the spring, and have a rockin' BB summer! See you at the Oldies Show in late April! (I guess it's time to put away the Santa hat!)
features five seasoned musicians and singers who played together in the popular oldies band Still-Water. Between us, we have over 150 years of service to rock & roll (and rock & roll isn't even THAT old), but don't expect us to come out on stage with walkers or satin pants! As John Stevens says: We lived it. We love it. We play it. Hey man, until next time . . . the Dude abides.

So diehl sends a postcard to the Dude from where? Paraguay? Ha! Paraguay my banana! Did it ever occur to any of you mush brains that diehl ain't in no Paraguay? For one thing, that postcard is bogus--there's no ocean in Paraguay--look it up in the dictionary or some mapbook, bonehead!
