The Brookside II Sports Bar & Grill
15170 W Bell Rd, Unit 115, Surprise
Plenty of seating. The snowbirds left a few weeks ago and it’s down to the locals. It is amazing how much Phoenix is a tourist town. Everyone loves our winters and flock here for the warm weather during the winter. Then summer hits and they all leave including many of the locals who vacation in cooler climates. I love this time because I have much fewer gigs and have more time to have fun.
Is this on for tomorrow after Memorial Day? I looked it up and it's a 45 minute drive from me.

We have only been cancelled for big sporting events. It is a long drive. It’s an hour with no traffic and up to almost two hours in stop and go traffic for me. This time of year traffic is thinning out some as is the crowds. Don’t feel obligated to come. It’s just a bar gig.

Nodack is an accomplished guitar player and singer! Not bad on the harmonica either and he's an up and coming Riverdancer. Great to finally put the guitar to the person.

Thanks for making the long trek out there Superbone and thanks for the kind words! You liked the river dance routine? I have been working on that for awhile. If the music thing doesn’t work out I was thinking of becoming a professional river dancer.

I’ve messed around with that lick on occasion. I remember the Suns weren’t the only team. The Bulls used it too. Anyone else?

Not that I'm aware of... Song still gives me chills and reminds me of my first Suns game. When I went to a Bulls game at the United Center in 2009 they played it... Was bittersweet given the two teams history.

I was almost offended that the Bulls had the same song as their intro. It is the perfect intro song. I can see why teams would use it.
That or orange…. I’ve seen some really cool metallic orange wraps that would look cool too.
‘Bone did you get the paint sealed? In this sun you might want to.

Except it’s not Pink Floyd is it? It’s ai making a Pink Floyd album isn’t it? I could hear all the bits of previous Pink Floyd songs kind of stirred into the soup on the first song. That was very interesting. I will have to check out more.

Pink Floyd blocked it on copyright grounds? Interesting. I searched the web for info on this and came up blank.
