Notes
well friends, we made it back home late last night after a fantastic trip to the homeland of Cleveland

so great to see all of our sweetheart relatives and dear friends…three of the four Bukovac brothers were onstage together and one sister was in attendance at a fun gig we played Friday night…the place was fucking PACKED with a zillion faces, most I haven’t seen since high school...

this little video is evidence of that...of course i played a whole set of songs with my brother's band that i never played before with no rehearsal whatsoever....typical Cleveland gig

this particular clip shows me cutting heads with local Cleveland guitar slanger Timmy Facemeyer, while my dearest oldest brother Dougie (to my left) looks on....Timmy Drensky on bass, he was the bass player in my band when i played the Eastlake Battle Of The Bands circa 1983 .....

• One Way Out - Tom Bukovac and Tim Fa...

but let me tell ya' friends….the drive home…sweet jesus it was fucking BRUTAL….i literally had the windshield wipers on the highest setting for five straight hours in the blinding rain with almost zero visibility as semi trucks driven by bots who completely ignored the fact that they were in the middle of a monsoon blazed by us at 85 MPH
