Ready, Down, Set, HUT-HUT-HUT!!!

Well, fans. . . It's poised to be the most talked-about week of the year, leading-up to the BIG-event; The anticipation has been breeding faster than a 'warren' of rabbits! (yes, that's where rabbits live!). . . and since Punxsutawney Phil, the 'Groundhog-of-Groundhog-Day' DID see his shadow today (translation = 6 more weeks-of- winter!), the emotions are running-high and the 'fever' is in-the-air! Yep, this is the week where the record WILL be broken, along with a few hearts! (OK, drum-roll, and a cymbal-crash!);

Ta-Daaaaah! Yes, this is the first time-ever that "The Kootz" will perform three nights-in-a-row at a venue, where one might find. . . a horse! Indeed! Last night it was "Valley Stables", then tonight at "The Black Horse" Pub and tomorrow at "The Barnyard Inn"! Even 'Mr. Ed' would approve, right 'Wilbur'?! Hence, given the fact that they're playin' a little football-game on Sunday in the land of 'Amber Waves of Grain'; This just-might be the week to call us "The Indianapolis-KOOTZ"! (Sorry, Peyton!) Go-Eli. . . and Big-Blue!

OK. . . Some rather LARGE-News in 'Kooterville'! On Saturday, February 11th, we'll be staging our biggest-concert-performance since our October '09 'Kootleg'-show, when it was "All-Kootz-On-Deck"; This will be a star-studded event in the friendly-confines' of The Fusion Cafe, which is located at The Butler Community Church on Kiel Avenue, Butler, NJ. This show, the 'brainchild' of Kootz-Tony-'Al'-Dente and Pete Bremy, will have a fan-friendly 7:30 PM start-time, so you can arrive-early and enjoy a 'nosh'. . . and then, a (Kootz)-show! More to follow, but if you'd like additional-information about The Fusion Cafe; (hey, 'space' may-be the 'final-frontier'. . . but it's definitely-limited, here!), please call 973-838-1027, or visit their website at www.butlercommunitychurch.org

Now, then. . . It's time for our "Kootz Honor Roll", where we'll re-cap the week-past, and give some 'Kwick-Koot-Os' to our terrific-fans, friends and venues. . . as well as the MANY 'newbies' who've 'joined-the-family', recently!

Our 'Pre-Super'-week began with a 'double-dose' of Bergen County; Last Thursday was a nice-l'il 'acoustic-soiree' at Harvest Bistro in Closter, followed by a 'Bring-The-Walls-Down'-night at The Maywood Inn on Friday! Special thanks to our newest-'percussive-pal', Don Guinta for steppin'-up. . . sittin'-in. . . and WOWING everyone with his 'rhythmic-acumen' on Friday! Our Saturday north-south 'double-dip' featured a great 'unplugger' at The Grill Room in Jefferson, while 'Ronnie-W' hosted a Kootz-home-town, home-game at McGillicuddy's Taphouse in Allenhurst, down-the-shore!

The next day. . . First, we "shusshhed"-'em; Then, we ROCKED 'em in a Kootz-matinee, as we hit West Caldwell's Public Library on Sunday, to an 'SRO-crowd'! We stayed-acoustic for a 'Cup 'O-Coffee', playing to a large, spirited-crew at Rockin' Joe's Bistro in Westfield on Tuesday-night; and then finished-off the week, with last-evening's debut at Valley Stables, in Oakland (in Jersey, that is!). WHEW!!! Thanks, EVERYONE!

OK. . . Here's THIS-coming-week; "SUPER"-lative!
