The Diary
Of RosCo

...if we don't go see RosCo And The
Heads at The Magic Wheels Motorcycle
Event this Saturday Night!' exclaimed
Paul, the youngest member of the band.
'But you are the DRUMMER for RosCo And
The Heads!' explained Master Pizza
Enthusiast and Road Manager Mocus. 'You
HAVE to be there, so how are you going
to die?' questioned Bass Man and Blade
Runner Lonnie Lay. 'Who the hell is
RosCo And The Heads?' asked befuddled
ding-a-ling and guitarist RosCo.
Are you looking for something to do this Saturday night? Perhaps all of this air conditioning indoors has driven you mad long enough and you would love to see a rock and or roll band sweat and melt right before your very eyes! Fear not, help is on the way! Magic Wheels will have their Annual Motorcycle Parade down the main street of Wilburton, OK this Saturday, August 14th, 2010. Rudy And Sunset will start the evening at 8pm at the Chamber of Commerce Parking Lot, then the parade will be held at approximately 9, and RosCo And The Heads take the stage until 11:30 or so or until the bats carry them off! This is a FREE family event so bring your lawn chairs and the Latimer County 4-H will provide a concession stand, a whole lot of bikes and two bands are on tap so come on out and support live local music and join in the fun! In the meantime, keep sending those ice cream cones, garter belts, lawn mower bearings, split head injuries, jelly rolls, and ROCK ON WITH ROSCO! |

That Panda Bear loving trio, RosCo And
The Heads, will be enjoying a Massive
Party Weekend this weekend! Friday night
finds The Heads Rocking And Or Rolling
9pm at Danny's Bar located at 908
Pennsylvania Avenue in beautiful
downtown Hartshorne, Oklahoma! Jasmine
and the gang have been taking their
vitamin supplements all week so they can
party down with The Heads and sell that
wonder tonic beloved by all, beer! And
then the fabled SnapperFest will be on
for Saturday as the Heads head to the
Arkansas border to party down at the
legendary watering hole, Snappy Mac's in
Big Cedar, Oklahoma! Parachutes have
been packed, pancake mix is already in
the van, and Mocus has even dug out his
'I Brake For Pizza' T-Shirt so he can
regale the crowds with his tales of
pizza pie indulgence! Four bands will be
performing at the all day event with
RosCo And The Heads slated to hit the
stage at 8:30 so learn how to hum the
theme to 'Deliverance' and drive out to
Big Cedar and Party! But remember no
weekend is complete without stopping in
at Danny's Bar in Hartshorne first, on
Friday, and tell Jasmine and the gang
The Heads sent ya!
The heat has taken its toll on everyone and The Heads actually had to practice in their underwear on regular practice night, which is Monday. Shrieks, moans, grunts, and groans were heard quite a bit that evening and the band voted that guitar picker and coffee drinker RosCo has to wear a sports bra from now on. The band also voted that drummer and mouse repairman Paul must never wear a G-string. However, the band decided that bass man and resident blade sharpener Lonnie might actually make a decent underwear model. Poor Mocus passed out at the sight of Paul's G-String so little comment was heard from the pizza loving road manager. Next weekend (August 14) is Magic Wheels' Bikes and Bands on Main Street in Wilburville, Oklahoma so mark your calendars! Keep sending that rawhide, drunken gnomes, pretty paper, pretty ribbons, of blue, ice cubes and ROCK ON WITH ROSCO! |

Those flag waving musical icons
from Hartshorne are back at the rock
and or rolling this Saturday, July
3rd at Salt Creek Knife Company in
beautiful downtown Calvin, Oklahoma,
with Special Guest Aaron Lalli!
Aaron and Head Master RosCo used to
work at a used car lot together back
in the turn of the century and have
each devoured a whole lot of fried
chicken, so it will be good for the
two to get together and
reminiscence. All restaurants in the
Calvin area have been put on alert
and extra napkins have been
purchased as well as plenty of
Tabasco. The band starts at 11am and
will play until 3pm so come on and
party!
Lawn Man Lonnie Lay, Bass Man,
Singer, Beer Enthusiast,
Humanitarian and easily the most
tanned Head since George Hamilton,
has been quoted as saying, 'SOO-WEE,
GO HOGS!' This incident of course
happened last weekend in Mena,
Arkansas where the temps were hot
and the bikes and babes were hotter.
Drum Meister and Sex Therapist Paul
Gavigan, who looked dashing in his
hounds tooth and lederhosen, with
spats on his feet, drummed mightily
for the Hog Country crowd who
showered him with praise and paper
airplanes. 'I feel like a real boy!'
exclaimed the latest drummer to fill
The Head throne. Leader of the band
RosCo was presumed lost as usual and
sure enough, Road Manager Mocus
found our hero at the local
Baskin-Robins, face down in sherbet.
Some things never change...
RosCo And The Heads are going to
be rocking and or rolling at a place
near you soon, so keep those cards
and letters coming, dry ice, coffee
mugs with disappearing clothes,
bayonets, massage coupons, National
Geographic DVD's, and ROCK ON WITH
ROSCO! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, USA!

After a six month long sabbatical, that
little ole' band from Hartshorne, RosCo
And The Heads, are back in the saddle
this weekend at the Hog Country Poker
Run in Mena, Arkansas! Six months is a
long period to go without rock and or
roll and it is time that the rumors be
put to rest. First off for the facts:
former members of the band did indeed
quit and joined a watermelon cult
located, some say in Kansas, others say
Texas. Either way they are replaced with
two of the baddest cat herders on the
planet, Paul Gavigan on drums and Lonnie
Lay on bass and vocals! Lonnie and RosCo
were once part of an elite band of
chicken farmers located in western
Latimer County and have been on plenty
of missions together. And Paul was the
former drummer for MuddGroove back in
the 1870s and is rumored to be quite the
sexual athlete, but everything you read
on a bathroom wall cannot always be seen
as gospel.
Second off, this new version of
RosCo And The Heads may well be, up
to this time, the most recent
version of the band, ever! More than
7,000 different Heads have come and
gone since the wild and wacky
adventures of one Village Idiot,
Rockin RosCo, who started the
musical group back in the 1940s. It
is indeed touching to witness the
sheer tenacity of one individual who
refuses to give up, even though he
is deaf in one ear and cannot hear
out of the other. Dates are stacking
up, crates of celery have been
purchased, and RosCo And The Heads
are headed to a town near you! Keep
sending those text messages, guitar
porn, french fry coupons, and ROCK
ON WITH ROSCO!

Tuesday February 9, 2019
The whispers and rumors can now be confirmed. After disbanding nearly ten years ago, the classic lineup of Blak Kat Bone have agreed to come together for one final show to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of McAlester Radio FM Rock 105's Boogie Down Blues Show hosted by SE Oklahoma's Guardian Saint of the local musician, John Peters! Guitarist and vocalist Aaron Lalli, drummer Robert Ott, and bassist/vocalist Ross 'RosCo' Chronister decided that the event was 'as good a reason as any to get together and play a song or two.' The Mighty Bone was THE premier local blues rock band in the late nineties and early double knots touring Oklahoma, Texas, and Arkansas, opening for Eric Sardinas and Kenny Wayne Sheppard as well as garnering a loyal fan base in the McAlester, Oklahoma area. In the early days of the internet revolution, one of their songs went to number 10 on the world mp3.com blues charts and praise both near and far were heaped upon the band for their unique 'Okie' brand of the blues which included a heady mix of Hendrix, Robert Johnson, Johnny Winter, stunning original music, and of course, SRV. Join the band one last time as they get together to celebrate a milestone with plenty of friends and fellow musicians April 10, 2010 at Salt Creek Knives in Calvin, Oklahoma. A Blues Jam will start at noon and all musicians are welcome to bring their guitars and amps to toast John Peters and highlights will be recorded for a later broadcast on his radio show. Somewhere in the early evening, Blak Kat Bone will hit the stage for a 10 or 15 song set and the night should come to a close early around 7 pm. For more info, watch this blog at http://MySpace.Com/BlakKatBone and visit http://SaltCreekKnives.Com and Keep It Blue!

It has been a wonderful year for RosCo
And The Heads with some tremendous highs
and some horrendous lows. Highlights
included our Liberty Theatre Shows, The
Thunder In The Valley Fourth of July
Spectacular, where we played before ten
thousand people, The Mena, Arkansas
Tornado Benefit, Jam Nights at The now
defunct Puma's Bar, Magic Wheels In
Wilburton, OK, and a whole lot of bar
gigs. Lows include the seemingly
diminishing popularity of our classic
rock music which has been evidenced by a
lack of crowd support, but to be
truthful, this economy has forced many
of our faithful fans to stay at home.
The closing of Puma's Bar hurt many
local musicians and it was a shame that
unforeseen circumstances and sheer bad
luck became the downfall of the music
establishment. The Puma family has also
taken a horrible blow with the loss of
beloved mother and cherished club owner,
Elzie Puma. Her loss from cancer has
been felt across the area and she will
be missed so very much. Because of Ma
Puma, RosCo And The Heads were able to
thrive and have a place to practice and
a place to jam. And local musicians had
a place to get together and try out
musical ideas. She supported local music
and gave encouragement to musicians
young and not so young. Thank you, Ma
Puma. We miss you so, but your positive
influence will carry us on.
Another low was the fact that no new music was released from The Heads except for two new demos, 'Shelter From The Storm' and 'No Goodbyes.' Hopefully 2010 will see some studio time and possibly a summer CD release. Local gigs have disappeared and Ken and Steven have joined a country band to make enough to pay bills and put food on their family tables. Music is our passion but it does cost money and families must be fed and they have to do these things to honor their responsibilities. We wish there were a way to make RosCo And The Heads profitable but this has never happened and it may never come to pass. But this dreamer is not done and will continue to Rock On, writing and recording songs, booking gigs, being goofy, and being a Love Buzzard to drunken women. And a special thanks to Jerry Gray for inviting me into his Jam Studio and letting me play guitar with him for an hour or two. Not to mention Paul Gavigan and T for their friendship and musical talk shop and Joseph Alexander for teaching me the Phrygian Scale. And DJ John Peters keeps us all alive here in SE Oklahoma by spinning our records on his radio show. My cousins Dave and David continue to put up with my bad jokes and my Mom and brother Rex are always supporting me, I am nothing without my faith, family, and friends. Please come and see RosCo And The Heads on their final show of 2009 and their first show of 2010 at The Eagles Club in Mena, Arkansas Dec. 31st starting at 9pm! Happy Holidays to all and keep sending them good ol' positive vibes and ROCK ON WITH ROSCO! |

RosCo And The Heads, the band voted most
likely to bankrupt IHOP on All You Can
Eat Night, are packing their gear for
the city of Wilburton, Oklahoma, this
Saturday Night Aug. 15, 2009 for the
Annual Bikes And Bands On Main Street at
the Goldberg & Joseph Park! The
Festivities kick off at 8pm with Rudy
And Sundown, then the Heads will waddle
to the stage, and then the night will
close with Oversoul! Steven Ford, Bass
Man and scrunchies enthusiast reports,
'I hope they don't try to shoot RosCo
again!' Kenny Puma, drummer and coffee
drinker also expressed his concern, 'I
hope they don't miss and shoot me!' And
RosCo, lead nose picker and wearer of
Blue Bunny underwear exclaimed, 'Hey,
whomever sent me the cool T-Shirt with
the bulls-eye, THANKS!' There will be a
parade and bikers and all kinds of good
family fun, so come out and support
local music! RosCo got to sit in with
old friends Sonny Reece, Vick Voss, and
Floyd Speir last Friday Night at the
Texanna Lounge in Checotah for a night
of music, dancing, brawling, and
drinking! The bartender cut RosCo off
after four Diet Cokes because 'he had to
drive' but good times were the order of
the night and fun is still the very best
therapy of all! The Heads still host Jam
Night at Puma's Coffee Bar at 908 Penn
in Hartshorne, OK every Sunday Night 5
to 9pm, so dust off your banjo or harp
and come on down! And more shows are on
the way including a triple bill November
7 at The Liberty Theatre in Hartshorne,
OK with Special Guests Lonnie Lay and
Juniper Point! So keep sending those
chicklets, olive oil bottles, baseball
jerseys, marriage proposals, gardening
tips, and ROCK ON WITH ROSCO!

Yes you heard it right folks, Kenny
Puma, shoe shine salesman and drummer
for your favorite rock and or roll band
RosCo And The Heads, is having a
birthday! Kenny recently sat down on
this reporter and reminisced about his
childhood and how he came over on The
Boat from Italy, accidentally tinkled on
the Statue of Liberty, (they have a
restroom in Venice that looks EXACTLY
the same!) hitched a ride to Detroit on
a pogo stick (there were four of us and
none of us spoke Armenian) and his
failed attempt at becoming a Detroit
Tiger (The jock straps were too small).
And of course there is the story of how
he found Oklahoma (I made a wrong turn
at Albuquerque) and joined RosCo and The
Heads (I was told there was pizza) and
on to fame and fortune! In his honor,
Steven Ford, bassist and BBQ enthusiast
for The Heads has decided to throw a
Birthday Bash for him at Puma's Coffee
Bar (formerly Puma's Bar) at 908 Penn in
beautiful downtown Hartshorne, OK
Saturday, July 25, 2009 starting at 7pm!
And, since Kenny's lovely sister Sara Jo
has a birthday as well in July, RosCo,
demented ice cream enthusiast and guitar
picker, decided to throw a party for
her, as well! So bring Kenny and Sara Jo
presents to the Birthday Bash which will
include our old friend Lonnie Lay
chipping in on the festivities and let
us Rock And Or Roll Saturday Night!

The Good Ol' USA is having another
Birthday and RosCo And The Heads have

music, so they just can't WAIT to
celebrate! The festivities begin
Wednesday Night July 1 at Puma's Bar in
Hartshorne, OK with the return of the
Zero Radius and Ice Cream Boy Acoustic
Show and Feather Duster Contest! Zero
Radius, the more handsome of the duo
questions, "Is that song in F flat or
E?" Ice Cream Boy, the least handsome of
the duo remarks, "Those clouds look like
boobies!" What a pair! The lads start at
8 and play until 10 so get there early
so you can tip them and tell them how
good they sound! Thursday July 2 will
find The Heads traveling down to
Talihina to help the Choctaw Tribe
celebrate the tenth anniversary of their
new hospital! Iron Road opens the show
at 5pm, The Heads take the stage at 6:30
or 7, and a big fireworks show will
start at dusk, so come on and help The
Choctaws celebrate at the Health Care
Center! And finally, Saturday will find
the Mighty Trio Rockin at Puma's Bar in
Hartshorne starting at 7pm and don't
forget Jam Night at 5pm every Sunday!
RosCo And The Heads and Lonnie Lay wish
each and every one of you a safe and
Happy Independence Day, and to our

The MOST well fed band in SE Oklahoma,
RosCo And The Heads, are just tickled
pink in anticipation of the chance to
ROCK OUT at the historic Liberty Theatre
this Saturday, April 25, 7:30pm! Located
in beautiful downtown Hartshorne,
Oklahoma at 826 Pennsylvania Avenue, The
Liberty has been host to various
performers and nutmeg throughout the
centuries and The Heads are preparing
for their assault in typical fashion!
Steven Ford, Bass Man and Certified
Indian Burn enthusiast, has entertained
the thought of performing his patented
LeSabre Dance at the event, but details
remain sketchy at press time. Super
Duper Detroit Dawg Kenneth P. Puma,
president of the Pasta Boy Food Network
and drum doctor, wanted to park his
Econoline on stage and decorate it with
tinker toys, but it looked like the
colors might clash with the drapes, so
this was struck from the list. And our
old pal RosCo, guitar and nose picker
extraordinaire, had to nix the flying
through the air routine since his
fishing line was in Lake Eufaula and
could not return in time! Drat! Joining
The Heads on the bill will be the
legendary folk duo and ballroom dancers
Zero Radius and Ice Cream Boy, the
magnificent Red Dirt Cowboy Lonnie Lay,
and introducing all the way from
Wilburville, Oklahoma, Centerpoint! This
is an ALL AGES ROCK CONCERT, tickets are
only $5 at the door, so bring your mum,
children and various outlaws and inlaws,
but this IS Rock And Or Roll people, it
will be LOUD! (Your mileage may vary) So
keep sending them cream horns, chicken
nuggets, earth day brownies, diet cola,
flash lights, Hannah Montana bracelets,
and ROCK ON WITH ROSCO!

on their leathers and getting ready to
Rock Out at their favorite biker bar,
ShovelHeads, located at 1201 North Main
in McAlester, Oklahoma this Saturday
night, March 7 starting at 9PM! Drummer
and coffee pot collector Kenny
'Hercules' Puma has lathered up his
leather drum throne in anticipation of
the event and quips, 'Party after the
gig at the drive-thru at Taco Bell at
3am!" Steven 'Thunder Fingers' Ford,
bass man and meteorologists for the band
says, 'It will rain somewhere Saturday
night, but I don't know where.' And our
MUCH MUCH older pal RosCo The Horrible
has been quoted as saying, 'I think I
ate too much.' What an incredible band!
Kudos to the Anderson-Gavigan Band for
covering us at Jam Night last Sunday as
The Heads traveled to Mena to play music
for Vince and Tracy's wedding! The Heads
had a lot of fun and got to hang out and
jam with old friends and witness two of
their bestest pals getting hitched! We
love you Vinny and Tracy! And if you
happen to be in Hartshorne tonight, come
on by and witness The Return of Zero
Radius and Ice Cream Boy with their
acoustic show starting at 8pm at Puma's
Bar at 908 Penn. Tickets are still
available, but act now to get a seat
close to the bathroom! Jam Night is
still going strong every Sunday at 5pm

Slap Yer Behind In 2009!
RosCo And The Heads,
the band worshiped by chicken farmers located in
Western Cleveland next on Jerry Springer,
somehow made it through Christmas without eating
a single hogs head cheese sandwich! Much o
presents and booty were presented to the band
from all over the land (especially from
Cleveland) and all were graciously accepted with
glee. There is enough wrapping paper to last
into the New Year and the paper airplane contest
should be quite shiny and bright, hmm there is a
song in there somewhere! Ken Puma, drummer and
noted auditorium on all things China buffet,
wanted to thank all of the fans from his house
that kept him cool during the hot Oklahoma
summer. Steven Ford, Bass Man and undisputed
champion tooth picker of the world, sends out
best wishes for a Happy New Year and hopes
everyone can give pizza a chance. And guitar
picker and hallucination enthusiast RosCo covets
more ice cream and wants everyone to 'Slap Your

Big Weekend! RosCo And The Heads, that often mistaken
Pillsbury Dough Boy tribute band, is ready to Rock And Or Roll the last
full weekend of Rocktober! Friday night finds the merry trio at
legendary watering hole The 1896
on Choctaw Avenue in McAlester, Oklahoma. The band first played the
establishment in the early 90s when RosCo and Steven were wee lads and
Ken was still lost in Detroit, probably making big bucks not realizing
that someday he would soon go broke in a rockin blues band in Okie Land!
Alas the Heads have not realized a full gig in McAlester in quite some
time, but since the good ol statue of limitations has kicked in, it is
time to Rock McAlester! The party starts early at 8pm and lasts until
midnight so bring your milk duds and come on down! |

On The Road Again! Just a quick note to let everyone know that their favorite Merry Trio are off to play Mighty Rock and or Roll at LIVELY's place on Highway 2 South in Wilburville, Oklahoma, starting at 9pm Friday, July 18! The chicken wire has been weakening at the night spot and the last time The Heads played there, a few beer bottles got through and clocked Steven and RosCo right between their legs! Fortunately, this allowed the Rock Em Twins to hit the high notes until the swelling went down!

And to close out the weekend, Jam Night is 5 to 9 at PUMA's BAR July 20 Sunday evening so all musicians to need to come on down and sit in!

Puma’s Bar Robbed! Some time in the early morning of Independence Day, creeps broke out the front glass of Puma's Bar and stole beer, cigarettes, and parts of RosCo and The Heads' band equipment! The Heads will still host their Sunday Night Jam Sunday 5 to 9 but encourage everyone to be on the lookout for the thugs that wronged us and the good folks at Puma's Bar. Contact the local Hartshorne police at (918) 297-2544 if you have any information. To the idiots that did this, you have messed with the wrong bunch. You are going 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!'

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!

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!

your underwear, Snapper Fest is coming Saturday June2! Filthy Richard, Weird
Harold & The Rubber Band, and RosCo and The Heads will be rocking out, so come

horniness, and ROCK ON WITH ROSCO!
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!
