I dream of a release of Joey's Ballad...

True ish. I appreciate some of todays music.

I used to see them in North Miami when they were the 7 of Us. I have been a loyal follower since their first LP. I got them in Tampa with Tom Ardalino and Joey's brother on guitar. I caught the new NRBQ in Safety Harbor. Great Show!

I got to see them in Tampa with Tom on drums and Johnny in place of Al. Very good! Then the new line up recently and they are as good as ever!

Ronco wrote some great songs as well! Thanks for the kind words.

@@BillyDemoya I once played the bass with you guys on stage in bayside I played when I saw her standing there. Jimmy handed me his hofner which had an incredibly high action--that thing was like trying to play a bow and arrow--I managed to play the whole thing through singing at the same time. I was seventeen at the time. Now im 49. Time flies! Yes Ronco had a very versatile voice he could almost fit in any song and make it sound genuine. Where do you guys have your original songs?

All of us except Bobby ☹

Me, Craig Ball, Drew Berlin and Jimmy Muller.

Search for Billy Demoya on SoundCloud and you can hear the Album that we recorded featuring "Middle Class Blues"

You mean Bobby Ronco. I'll try to do that now.

I agree 100%

Wrong band, Wrong stage.

@@BillyDemoya I was there bro 😎

@@BillyDemoya Band could of been a different house band .. all I know was they were pissed and Hatchet 🪓 killed it

@@skolcityblues2132 we were always on the small stage. Too small for Molly Hatchet.

@@BillyDemoya It was a impromptu gig no announcement.. there manager walked in spoke with whoever and 5 min later the house band was bitching at the manager about getting off the stage and wanting to b paid regardless .. 20 mins later 🪓 was setting up there equipment.. My Buddy was a bartender so he loaded me up with a large shot and I went straight to the stage ..The reason I know besides that it happen was I got screwed by my friend a couple years before when they played out at the Sportatorium. Outlaws, 38 special , Molly Hatchet and some local band opened I think. My Buddy was r ride and he got held up at work so when we finally got to the Shitatorium tons of people leaving. I rolled down the window and asked if the concert was over and dude says nah but Hatchet just finished and they slayed ! I was pissed off brah cause they were my fav band at the time. We blazed up split a lude and watched the Outlaws .. this would have been Xmas break 1978 .. Playpen Jam was fall of 79 ..

And sings like John Sebastian.

Some Jerry Lee Lewis in there as well !

They were and still are phenomenal!

Yes, one of the best EVER!

All the musicians know who were and were in awe of them. they flat out refused to cooperate with the record labels, and only did things their own way. What a great fucking band.

They still are

Hi Tom! I was just talking about FLA yesterday to Tom Stevens who was there often and a big fan of the Rockerfellas! You guys were fantastic! How's the girl doing that was in your band?

Remember FLA for sure at the Playpen. Awesome times.

Me as well! I used to see them when they were The 7 of Us! in Miami. They would drive by in their school bus, the I would see them that night and I was so impressed that they were wearing the same clothes! Super Rockers!

Super great band! My favorite American R&R band of all time!

Hello Marvin. Where and when please.

​@@klemklimek9 The name of the Club was CLUB FOOT (sp) and it did have a couple names, but as I recall most people called it Club Foot since it was around when Elephant Man (the Movie) came out (approx.) .... THE TIME best I can remember was early 80s - I think around 1983 - maybe in the Fall possibly - I kind of remember it was cold ('m from S. Texas) outside and it was warmer inside. .... The club had an upstairs and downstairs where the bands I saw there played. I only went there a few times, NRBQ and The Ventures both played there about the same time - at least in the same year I think. The Writer from The Chronicle had been a very well known in the early days of the The Rolling Stones Mad doing reviews. I really wanted him to do a review on some of the material I had on tape and promised he would, but that never happened. .... His LAST NAME west 'WEST' but I can't remember his 1st name, but I bet looking in past issues of The Rolling Stone Mag would probably uncover it fairly quickly. Hope that helps - m.

@@klemklimek9 I guess I need to mention what CITY and STATE ;) Austin Texas :)

Thx Marvin. I wasn't there. But at Liberty Lunch a couple times. One night when Boozoo Chavis was there. Great Texas Times

I'm glad you enjoyed it Bobby!

Thank you! I'm so glad that you enjoy some of the best days of my life and thank you for being a part of them. Peace and Love to you both.

Don't be so hard on yourself.
