Top Ten Reasons . . .

For those of you who missed it, here are the Top Ten Reasons for having the X-Tension Chords play at the ACE conference (as read at the 2008 ACE Business Meeting in Traverse City, Michigan):

Reason #10. Five years of performances without a drummer blowing up.

Reason #9. Eric Estrada is not in the band.

Reason #8. Canadians are nice people to have around.

Reason #7. Proper use of Extension Chords can slow global warming!

Reason #6. They speak of the pompatus of love.

Reason #5. Two words: Rock and Roll.

Reason #4. They make you feel so young . . . by comparison.

Reason #3. Longest standing "community without practice" in eXistence.

Reason #2. John-boy is still kicking out the jams.

And the number-one reason to have the ACE X-Tension Chords play at an ACE conference:

They play real good, for free.

After Midnight

Well . . . maybe only 10 minutes after midnight, but still . . .

X-Tension Chords 5th Anniversary Tour

Get ready, folks: It's almost time for the ACE MuSIG to make some noise! The ACE X-Tension Chords is plugging in again, as we rock the Lower Peninsula and get that big Michigan hand clapping with the beat!

Get ready for a rockin' night at Shimmers nightclub Wednesday night, when the Chords' Compact Electric Edition will have you dancing from 9 pm into the wee hours with many of the few rock standards that we know, and maybe a few we don't. Then Thursday's "Night at the Opera" dinner will see the Chords' Unplugged Edition opening for local musical sensations Judy Harrison & Swing Shift.

It's a great complement to the excellent educational and networking opportunities that we all really come to ACE Conferences for. Really.

So be there with your dancing shoes on -- or off, if you prefer -- and remember as you cut the rug that it's the heat, it's not the humidity . . . and it's certainly not anyone's age!

Have a great trip to Michigan, and we'll see you all there!
