Just thought I'd tell you that I am the guy you list as "our waiter" in your picture of Eric the Cigar Man. (http://www.theyarddogs.com/images/ericthecigarman.jpg) I came across the photo purely by accident, and just had to laugh at how goofy I look.
Hope y'all are coming back to Key West soon!

My parents introduced me to your music at Bert's Bar a couple winters ago; I love watching you guys play! Any time they go to see you play they call me during "We ain't leaving til we're heaving - puking in the parking lot!" I have scheduled my vacation for this April and made sure to be in town on a Wednesday so I can come see you play :). I want to check out the Block Party in Punta Gorda, too!
Did you know there is a Cajun restaurant in Charlotte called the Cajun Yard Dog and their logo is the same as your aligator? Any connection?
All the best to you!

Saw your band a couple years ago while visiting friends in Naples. You were GREAT! ou were out of the area when we down this past January and disapointment set in. Hoping to see you again someday - when are you playing Ohio? I would drive to Put-in-Bay if you are going to be there. I would prefer to see you here in Toledo instead - do you have open dates near your Put-in-Bay shows? Have you ever herd of Polka Floyd from Toledo? I think you'd like them. (Check out their MySpace Page) Have you ever considered doing a CD of cover songs? I love your original tunes -but I also think you do a great job when you are covering songs live. Your "House of Rising Sun" makes my Top 10 list of Cover songs. I'm Rambling - Come to Toledo next time you are in the area. Steve at The Glass City Cafe.

Thanks for letting me play the washboard again with you guys at the Parrot Key. I think the audience liked my new can opener dance. I did get a bruise on my arm and leg from doing that dance with the washboard. Probably not a good idea for future washboard playing. Back in cold Wisconsin. See you guys next October. Working on new moves for next year.

We are back in cold, blustery Illinois after a wonderful two months in Paradise----and the only thing getting us through the doom and gloom of this aweful weather is playing our CD's we got during our many visits to see The Yard Dogs perform. You made our stay in Florida extra fun and special. And we can't wait till next winter to see/hear you again! We are the ones who live close to where Pork/Ducks used to be from and perform. And brought all our guests to see you!

Hi Guys, Great website. You guys are doing a great job bringing life to good ole' Fort Misery.
Fact of the day: Kip Lawrence's real name is really Mr. Lawrence Kemp. Not many people know this, but he had to change his name after an embarasing altercation with a negro security guard about 20 years ago in Georgia.You know what they say. "The closer you get to Georgia the dumber you get."
Keep on pickin,thumpin & pumpin,
