On June 1, the well fed boys will start hosting Jam Night every Sunday in June at the legendary Puma's Bar at 908 Penn in beautiful downtown Hartshorne starting at 5pm, so all musicians need to rosin up that G-string and come on down!

May 06, 2008-RosCo And The Heads
were so honored to be a part of the Benefit for Tonya on Sunday at ShovelHead
Bar and Grill in McAlester, Oklahoma. So many incredible bands were there
including MuddGroove, The Band Formerly Known As Set 4th, Stone Kat, MILF
Riders, and Lonnie Lay! Over $800 was raised to help Tonya and Paul cover their
medical expenses and the good people of McAlester and SE Oklahoma showed their
generosity and support. Get better Tonya!
Tonight will see the return of Zero Radius and Ice Cream Boy with the Detroit
Dawg at Jackie's Alibi in beautiful downtown Hartshorne! This acoustic act is an
experiment by Lonnie and RosCo to try and get women's clothes to fall off! 'In
my experience, money has been the only thing that I have been able to utilize to
get women naked, but I hope to use a G string or chord to entice said nudity.'
explains lawn jockey Lonnie Lay, aka Zero Radius. 'If we figure this out, we can
sell the idea and buy more ice cream!' exclaims Der RosCo, aka Ice Cream Boy.
Ken Puma, aka Detroit Dawg, will run sound and had this to say, 'Turn it up!'
The two hour show begins at 8pm!
The Heads will be at Lively's Place (Formerly The Blue Mist) at 9pm in Wilburton
on Highway 2 South this Friday night, so make sure to come out and be ready to
rock! Steven Ford, mighty bass man and clock setter has this to say, 'We shall
quite Rock You.' What a cheerleader! Saturday night will find the Mighty Well
Fed Heads at Puma's Bar (formerly Ameci's) starting at 9pm in beautiful downtown
Hartshorne so bring your Pizza Hut Coupons, keep sending them smell good
candles, glow in the dark urinal cakes, hot jazz records, and ROCK ON WITH
ROSCO!
April 17, 2008-The last few nights have been SO much fun rockin out in Hartshorne, Wilburton, and FM Radio 105 in McAlester, Okie Land! Friday night found us at Lively's in Wilburton where the women are insane! Saturday night at Puma's Bar was fun too as our old friend Lonnie Lay helped us out and we jammed into the wee hours! Monday night was the bestest as The Heads, Jerry Grey, Lonnie Lay, and MuddGroove tore it up for Jammin' John Peters' Eighth Annual Boogie Down Blues Show Celebration! Ken Puma, jockey shorts enthusiast and drummer for the Heads recorded and engineered for the Thursday broadcast and the phone lines at Rock 105 were flooded with calls asking for tax rebate checks! Steven 'Godzilla' Ford who is the bass man of the Heads and a night clapper told his Dad howdy on the air and that he would have the car back before midnight! And our hero RosCo who recently converted his computer into a veg-o-matic had to admit that he was so happy to be back in the hurricane! Recording is under way for the 'Blues Farmers' project and the new RosCo and the Heads should follow soon! Lonnie and RosCo are going to attempt some acoustic music at Jackie's Alibi in Hartshorne starting the first Tuesday in May and gigs for the Heads are coming May 4 at ShovelHeads in McAlester for a benefit, May 9 at Lively's, and May 10 at Puma's Bar in beautiful downtown Hartshorne! So keep dialed to this blog, watch out for insincere used car salesmen, keep sending the email and text messages and ROCK ON WITH ROSCO!
April 08, 2008-RosCo And The Heads, that trio of well fed merry men will be rockin and a rollin at LIVELY’s located at Highway 2 South in Wilburton, Oklahoma this Friday night! Yet again, a drunken and obviously deranged tavern owner has agreed to allow The Heads to play music in their establishment! When will this madness end? Come out and party with these guys and find out for yourself why no refrigerator is safe, underwear mysteriously disappears, and Rock And Or Roll is alive and well!
April 06, 2008-Had a wonderful time with the insane people of Mena, Arkansas on Friday night! Special thanks to Vinnie Lee for sitting in on a few songs and the girls that called the motel at 2:30 am! Steve, Ken, and RosCo had way too much fun and we cannot wait to party again with the Eagles!
March 27, 2008-Tuesday night was
the (finally!) debut of the Great 2008 RosCo And The Heads Rock And or Roll
Party! After getting rained out and another cancellation due to circumstances
beyond their control, The Heads rocked out with Special Guest Lonnie Lay at
Jackie’s Alibi in beautiful downtown Hartshorne, Oklahoma! The women were crazy,
the drinks were cold and the band was hot! Ken Puma, drummer and part time
tidily-wink enthusiast proclaimed the night a success and a good excuse to get
naked! Steven Ford, mighty bass man and Grounds Keeper Willie Fan reflected on
the nights’ festivities and decided that the Heads were back and whipped cream
was what he forgot to pick up at the grocery store earlier in the day. And our
hero RosCo had so much fun that he lost his underwear but was still able to
celebrate with 2am ice cream!
Saturday night will find the Heads mixing it up at the Grand Opening of Puma’s
Bar (formerly Ameci’s) ALSO conveniently located in beautiful downtown
Hartshorne, so come on down and check out the old guys of Rock And or Roll,
bring your pickle coupons, wear socks, and ROCK ON WITH ROSCO!
Wednesday, March 12, 2008-Hartshorne,
Oklahoma is a quiet little town, with one and a half stoplights, a couple of gas
stations, a Dollar Store, a few churches, and 14,000 bars. After a layoff of
nearly nine months, two of those bars have decided to let ROSCO AND THE HEADS
play Mighty Rock And Or Roll in their establishments! The Heads were just as
surprised as anyone else, but they inked the deal before the owners could sober
up, so come Party with ROSCO AND THE HEADS Tuesday March 18 at Jackie’s Alibi
and Friday March 21 at the Grand Opening of Puma’s Bar, both located in
beautiful downtown Hartshorne! If you don’t know where the bars are, just drive
to Hartshorne, roll down your window, and LISTEN!
January 17, 2008-Since I have not been on a stage since June of 2007, I am really missing performing live and drunk women! I have been writing and recording and I did send one song to John Peters at Rock-105 in McAlester, but the song, 'Whole Lotta Lovin' is not really indicative of the kind of direction I am going with my music. Still, I feel like I owe John a full CD of blues based music in the vein of the very popular '4 Blues' disc from a few years back, and I hope to get the project done in 2008. At the same time I have a more modern rock sound in mind for my next 'Heads album which I probably will record by myself as well since I enjoy piddling around in my studio and have no one to blame but myself if something is not right; I might as well beat myself up for a reason if I continue to berate myself anyway, don't you agree? I have also been working with a youngster who has talent but we are just now in the development stages and I do not want to say more since he is a good soul and he does not need any more pressure than already exists. We'll save that for later! Thanks so much for all the kind words about my music and I do enjoy and appreciate the 'Get Well' soon emails and notes and I hope to be able to party with ya'll somewhere down the line. Keep listening and support your local music scene!
December 26, 2007-My health is still not the best but I have still been making music. John Peters of Rock 105 in McAlester, OK played a cut from my new project, The Blues Farmers a week before Christmas and will play it again on his show Thursday Dec. 27 so tune in from six to eight pm to catch the track, 'Whole Lotta Lovin.' (Make sure and visit John at myspace.com/boogiedownbluesshow) I have a lot of blues and folk music laying around that I want to record and push out before I start on my next modern rock recording, so that is why the new project is called the Blues Farmers featuring Delbert McDiaper. Delbert is an alter ego of mine so ya'll treat him right and look for a full length CD from him by Spring 2008. I already have the bulk of songs ready to go for a RosCo and The Heads album, which I will also try and get out in 2008, but we shall see about that as well. I may not be performing live anymore, but I will make music until the day I die. Thanks so much to the good folks that have supported me over the years and I wish everyone the Greatest 2008 ever!
JULY 10, 2007-SEMI-RETIREMENT WANNABE!-Well, it
looks like our hero has to take a little vacation for a while due to that good
ol' diabetes and COPD. I gave the band their pink slips and they have been
playing music with other groups for quite some time anyway, so at least they
have jobs and will not go hungry. I plan to record some tunes and get better so
perhaps I can jam in the future and all you fine folks can come see me and have
a good time. Keep checking back here for the latest news and new music is on the
way, I ain't dead yet! Keep sending those warm wishes and nude email and ROCK ON
WITH ROSCO!
MAY 18, 2007-TWO WEEKS UNTIL SNAPPERFEST!

APRIL 21, 2007-KONICHIWA!- The past few weeks have been crazier than ever with RosCo and the Heads having more fun without getting naked than usual! The big Saint Paddy's Day Party at the Eagles Club in Mena was amazing as those people just get crazier every time! Green was everywhere and the ladies made things incredibly fun and the party back at the motel continued into the wee hours! Steven Ford, bass man and mild mannered man of steel had one complaint; 'Kenny ate the mint off my pillow!' Yes folks, we have an embarrassing secret that we can keep from you no longer; Our Kenny is a mintaholic! Therapy, interventions, dental floss, and threats of cutting off tanning salon privileges have not worked, so keep the mighty Detroit drummer in your thoughts and smiles as he needs help! A few days later, The Heads jammed with Lay'd Back and 2 Steps West at Babes Club in Krebs, Oklahoma! Old friend and riverboat gambler Steve McGillberry was there on the keys participating in the jam and he proceeded to regale the band with tales of his culinary prowess and fifteen different ways to tie a tennis shoe! And just this last Tuesday, history was made as the afore mentioned line up plus local band Bucket Mouth and Jerry Grey performed live over streaming internet for the 7th annual DJ John Peters Boogie Down Blues Show! The Blue House was invaded like it hadn't been in a long time and the broadcast was heard all around the world! Kay Peters, wife and personal trainer of John whipped up a batch of cupcakes, spaghetti, lil' smokies, veggies and even a half gallon of Rocky Road for RosCo! Except for a few technical glitches and a streaker, the show went well and Uncle RosCo and the Great Italian Vulcan Preston are rubbing their hands in anticipation of NEXT YEARS party! And FINALLY the big event happens this Friday, April 27 as Lay'd Back, 2 Steps West, and RosCo And The Heads take over the Liberty Theatre for an all ages show! Come on out and support your local blues and classic rock bands and for more info, click HERE! The evening gets started at 7pm with doors opening at 6, so get there early and get a good seat and cheer these guys on! Keep on keeping on and ROCK ON WITH ROSCO!
MARCH 10, 2007-THEY'RE BACK!-After a long deserved vacation, RosCo And The Heads are back on the air! Many cards, letter, emails, paternity suits, and birthday suits have been received, all wondering and inquiring what have The Heads been up to? Well...Steven Ford, bass man and sometime vegetable bouncer has been involved with a top secret chemistry experiment which has somehow allowed him the super powers of a yodeler! Details are sketchy and of course details are most secret, but Steven can now yodel better than Barbara Streisand! 'I do not mean to brag...' claims the Steven Ford one, 'but I can blow Babs away in a yodeling contest.' Indeed, let us hope and pray that we will never have to witness such a debacle, EVER, Steven! Elsewhere, drummer and eye drop salesman Ken Puma is celebrating ever since he figured out how to mail his seventeen year old daughter to Michigan! 'It was not easy!' admits the Italian drum king of love. 'First, I kept licking the stamps and they would stick to my tongue and then my daughter kept running away, and she did not fit well into the mailbox, but we got 'er done!' We suspect the Michigan post office does not do things quite like we do in the south, so bets are that more postage will be due! Meanwhile our hero and fearless leader RosCo has taught himself how to fry bacon while naked! 'I got the idea from a welding commercial.' explains the disturbed guitarist and vocalist for The Heads. 'I just wear a welding helmet placed in a strategic position and I have all the protection I need!' Will this start a revolution in the fried food industry? Stay tuned!
The My Space website now features RosCo And The Heads songs for sale! Yep, your favorite band is now signed to SNOCAP, an independent distribution label for artists such as The Heads so go snatch up some Head tunes for only .99¢ each before they go bankrupt! The new album is still being worked on and when it is ready, it will also be featured at SNOCAP as well as some music from the back catalogue of RosCo And The Heads that has never been available ever in the digital format. The Heads are also very happy to announce that negotiations are underway to be featured with the iTunes music service, so The Heads are coming very soon to an iPod near you!
The band has been preparing for the celebration of the Irish at The Eagles Club in beautiful downtown Mena, Arkansas March 17! The party should be quite the blowout as the good people of Mena are party athletes and RosCo And The Heads are prepared! The last party in Mena lasted all year, so come out and celebrate all things green! Festivities begin at 8pm, but all indicators point to a dawn patrol party, as is usual with them crazy folks in Mena! Keep those cards and letters and emails coming, send more layer cakes, donuts, clicky top pens, whitewall cleaner, moist towelettes, and ROCK ON WITH ROSCO!
