Review by Dennis Dunaway:
"Joe Bouchard and I played at Ale Mary's club, owned by Paul Orafino and his partner, Phil. Paul also owns Millbrook Studio where BDS Recorded the bed tracks for the Back From Hell CD. Joe had twisted my arm into playing unrehearsed (something I avoid like the plague.)Cindy and I shook off the dampness from the torrential downpour as we entered the most homey little club I've ever seen. The wall paper and decorations were as comfortable as a Victorian smoking parlor featuring 300 rare beers, 20 fine wines, and chili (veggie or carnivorous.)A toy-like coctail drum kit shared the mini stage with an upright piano. Joe (in black leather) greeted us while he got set up. Paul informed me that he would be recording the festivities. I asked Joe what songs we were doing? He said, "Let's just play it by ear." (I felt like the plague was setting in.) Joe kicked off the opening set solo while about 75 people filtered in. He catered to the BOC fans in his usual good-time fashion. Richie Scarlet popped in (we last saw him backstage after our BDS show in London. He was there on a European tour with Mountain.) Several other musician's arrived and it was shaping up to be quite a night. Joe called me up to play. I knew most of the songs but he pitched a few curves by changing keys (that's his gig.) I tried to compensate for minor clams with major energy and in the end, our efforts seemed rewarding. I was finished and looking forward to a beer or 300 but Joe informed me that the other bass player didn't show and to, "Stay put."He invited Richie Scarlet up. Richie strapped on an acoustic guitar while Paul scrambled to re-assign mic's. The drums were manned by Norman Del Tufo while Pete Gallinari stepped up to the piano. Richie turned and called out, shuffle in E, stomped his boot to kick it off, and in a flash, the place was rockin'. Joe came in with a verse of Roadhouse Blues and everybody locked in. It sounded great from where I sat. We got our Mojo's Workin' then a killer Scarletized rendition of "I'm Eighteen" shook the rafters acoustic style. I told the audience to imagine it at a volume that vibrated their underwear (this brought smiles to some of the ladies faces.) Albert Carey came up to sing. Bob Sparks held down the beat while Tom Carey took turns with Richie Scarlet on the piano.Patty G joined in with the most amazing maraca shaking I had ever heard.I think the last time I played a room that small was in the 60's, but I would be hard pressed to come up with a more enjoyable night.The rain let up and Cindy and I drove home with smiles on our faces.Thanks to everyone!"

APRIL 25-28 RICHIE PLAYED THE CHILLER
If you ever get a chance to go to a Chiller show at the Meadowlands in New Jersey, don't pass it up. Richie Scarlet has surfaced there for virtually the past five years and it's a great place to not only see The Emperor live, but to actually meet him and spend some time with him as he gives his fans his newest offerings at the Richie Scarlet booth. Saturday night is the highlight as Richie takes the stage and kicks out the jams playing any number of unpredictable rare song performances. His incredible guitar work has earned him fans among the legions of other Chiller guests including film and television actors, artists, and other industry elite.
Do you recognize the fellow with Richie in the picture below? Whether he's wishing his enemies into the cornfield, hanging with "the Robot" and Dr. Smith, or even performing "Roly Poly Fishheads", we've all grown up along with Billy Mumy and it was a pleasure seeing him as just one of the many guests at another incredible "Chiller".
