Billy Waldo and the Flying Grizzlies concert July 26

Billy Waldo and the Flying Grizzlies will be re-forming to play a benefit concert for the Stano Bustos Foundation on July 26 at the golf course. The gig will be a part of the Foundation's golf tournament, the proceeds of which will be used to, among other things, fund junior ski racing on Red Lodge Mountain.

I played with the Grizzlies back in the early nineties, and I look forward to making music with some people I haven't seen in a long time. Waldo is coming over from Bellingham, WA; Peter Burak from Portland; Scotty Burrows (hopefully) from Casper. Other Grizzlies in attendance will be Charlie Brandine, Jimmy Kujala, and Paul "Dirt" Stauss.

It will be a chance for us to re-live old times and to play some good old music for the people of Red Lodge, but it will also be an opportunity for us all to remember Stano and to celebrate his life.

More specific details about the event, including information about the golf tournament, will be forthcoming. I hope you all make plans to attend!

Comment by Todd Loughrie on April 11, 2008 at 9:59am: Hey, John. Yeah, that last show was a blast, notwithstanding the hurricane that forced us inside to the Bull & Bear. Yeah, Scotty has a last name, but interestingly he has no chin. Which is why you'll never see him without a beard. ;)

If you need a dark place to hide out until a new home can be found let me know, Scotty. The Grizzlies are simply fantastic and always a treat to hear. The Slaughter family will be there and paying tribute to our dear friend Stano.
