Q&B - News 2007

Some of the Q&B boys have been busy early this summer, haven't they?
Check out the pix from Quigsy's frat-reunion at Villanova University in May 2007
There's Gary Olsen on the big blue bass
Quigsy still remembers all the lyrics to Louie Louie, My Girl, and much, much more...
...but does he remember where he left his car keys?
The Heat Wave break song plays on and on!

Meanwhile, down in Miami Shores, Dr. Rock and the Terminal Degrees (with JRM on bass) closed out an 18-year run at Barry University with a bang in April 2007, as Steve Althouse (Dr. Rock himself) retired after thirty years of full-time teaching!

Lovely Rita Berdan just emailed in a batch of St. Pat's pix from Q&B gigs at Riley's & Hafners...enjoy!

Q&B just released their ambitious road-schedule for St. Paddy's Day 2007, and it looks like a bear...get some sleep, fellas!
- Sunday, 10 March...Canastota Public Library (2:00-3:30 pm)
- Friday, 16 March...Hafner's (5:00-9:00 pm)
- Saturday 17 March...Irish Breakfast at Riley's (8:30 am-noon)

Speaking of the Canastota Public Library gig, the Syracuse Post Standard did a nice story on the boys (12 March 2007):

Look for Quigsy's old college room-mate, Gary Olsen, to be stepping in occasionally on bass this year, what with JRM living the Life 1,400 miles away in SoFla
Gary's currently Associate Vice President for Alumni Affairs at Villanova University

Q&B returned home triumphantly after 43 years, hitting the stage at St. Ann's on Saturday night (13 January 2007) for the jam-packed St. Ann's Irish Ceili. Opening for Ceili Rain, Q&B also had a chance to savor the moment - didn't Sister Cathleen once swear they'd never amount to anything?

Guest bassist Gary Olsen from Philadelphia lends a hand

Quigsy's finally on YouTube! Just when you thought he couldn't get any groovier, Quigsy lights up the stage with the Dr. Dave Band in Tampa! How he actually wound up on stage with the Dr. Dave Band is a story too bizarre to get into here, but Quigsy's nephew Joe Price shot more than enough YouTube video action for some serious extortion. Loretta's reaction apparently was: "There's no fool like an old fool," or some such comment. You'd think that after 30 years she'd be used to it!

Yes, that's Quigsy Himself, up on stage with the Dr. Dave Band from Tampa!
Dr. Dave, of course, is Dr. David Ferguson, a college professor from Tampa, and an ex-guitarist with Rick Derringer, The Greg Allman Band, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and Barbara Mandrell!
