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,
