The First Pondstock  2001

Some phone calls, e-mail, yakking over cocktails, and things started to take shape.  Andy's good friend Rick (Bass) and his brother-in-law JC (drums).  Tom (neighbor and singer) brought in the concept of having a Seafood Boil for the party (something he picked up while living in New Orleans), he also brought Pio into the mix (Voc, guitar)  And so way born the first iteration of  "The Roilin Boilers"

Interestingly enough, Pio also had a close relationship with a newly forming pro band from Louisville;  The Accountants.  Why not invite them up for the weekend.  Yup, now we are cookin.

Well, since the accountants are coming, we need some stage.  And of course, might rain, so better get a tent.   Might as well spread the word and add more than just the usual friends.  Well, you get the idea! things getting bigger and bigger. 

What should we call this party?  Well, sort of like Woodstock (lots of jamming), and we have a nice Pond,  Yup  Pondstock ,  had to be

A good time was had by all.  Boilers muddled along, Accountants made all the difference, lot of imbibing, big jam at the end of the evening.
