HEAVY DRUNK/Pete Cummings

My brother was hangin` at Pucketts yesterday when up pulled Brad Whitford, of Aerosmith, on his newly purchased 1976 Honda. Brad saw it outside of his neighbor`s barn and had to have it......and once he bought it; he had to go for a putt !

As Karl put it when he wrote me:      He looked perfect all worn and weathered on this old bike.

My brother bought me 5 copies of the Heavydrunk CD at their CD release party last week.

I got 3 copies today in the mail.

These Copies have 5 signatures on them>>>>>>>

Rob Robinson..............................guitars, vocals and owner of Pucketts Grocery in Liepers Fork Tn.
Pete Cummings...........................guitars, vocals and ex-guitarist for Elvis during his gospel period
Neece Cummings.........................bass, vocals and Pete`s nephew
Charles "Chopper" Anderson..........bass, vocals, and presently working on album with Brad Whitford and Derek St. Holmes
Bob Irwin...................................producer and owner operator of Sundazed, where this CD was manufactured and processed.


I still have to get my last two copies signed by Jacob Pratt(drums) and the other drummer who used to drum for Dolly Parton and is also working on Brad and Derek`s new album..............can`t remember his name.

There is a site ready to post info about the Whitford/St. Holmes album, when it`s completed:

since 2 of the players from the Heavydrunk CD play on it also, figured I`d post the above link here.

A month after my last post about Pete, I met my brother in Huber Heights Ohio on Aug. 20th, 2018 to see Gov`t Mule and The Magpie Salute on Aug. 21st. He bought us the tickets for my 62nd birthday. A week or so before the show I called him up and asked him if he was up for a 2fer. I told him if he followed me back to Morgantown W.V on Aug.22rd we could see The Steel Woods Band open for Blackberry Smoke. He said that he had too much on his plate and that he couldn`t. 2 Days later he called me back and said "You know, Life is too short, and if you have the chance to do something you enjoy with someone you love......you should take advantage of the situation and do it". So I bought us 2 tickets to see them and we did. On Aug 23rd we woke up and hugged each other goodbye and headed back home......me to Clearfield Pa., and Karl to Leiper`s Fork Tn. The next night Karl was in a fatal motorcycle accident and I was grateful for our last adventure together.


This past Saturday May 25th we had my brother`s ashes brought here and we buried them in a cemetery near my house. This coming weekend June 1st Leiper`s Fork will have it`s first Memorial Ride for it`s community members lost in the past year. My brother Karl, Pete, Tony Joe White, Reggie Young, Kenny Marks Butch Gorman and others will be remembered. I wish I could be there, but I can`t. I took my own memorial ride in Karl`s honor on Friday with a friend. We rode the same 180 mile trip around central Pennsylvania that Karl and I and another Brother took 4 years ago. It was the only time that Karl and my brother Scott and I ever rode together, and the only time that Karl and I ever rode together on the highways. We did dirt biking together as kids.

Here`s Karl and I together riding 4 years ago, and me at the same spot Friday, and his final resting spot.:

I always LOVED what he added to Lucinda Williams song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yXbwJefTxQ

AND the whole song has that Tony Joe White Swamp Rocker feel......what a line too.....Where`s The Groove

I enjoyed the company of all these guys, but never got to meet Tony. He did, however, step off of the curb in front of me in front of Pucketts in 2016, and if I hadn`t stomped on my breaks, I would have hit him.

Florida Georgia Line is my favourite contry band. Headliners Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard are those people that can make anyone sing along. That's why I like to visit their concerts. And - that's surprisingly beatiful - in 2019 they have CAN'T SAY IT AIN'T COUNTRY TOUR which covers all the USA cities and towns.
