Even thought I promised John I wouldn't break anything at his house, he still hasn't invited me to his annual Christmas Party!
It's all good....Merry Christmas All!!

Here's Jimmy's poem
The week before Christmas..(by Jimmy)
December 6, 2006
T’was the week before Christmas,
And all through Knobland
Jimmy was drinking,
Waiting for the band
When in walked Tammy,
And her friend Lois Twang
The band fired up
And the two Knobettes sang
Led Zep’s Rock n Roll
And Shelter by Stones
And people were dancing
And shaking their bones
With Steve on the Bass,
And Rick on the Lead,
Johnny was jamming,
Phil drummed with great Speed
Gina did shots,
Like they were going out of style,
Missy’s Liver kept up,
On the floor for a while.
When Eli walked in,
And said It’s too loud..
Then looked once around,
And said “Boy what a crowd’
The band it went crazy,
Everything was alright
Knob fans were rocking…
Late into the night
When I looked in the corner,
And saw Gina cry..
She said "somebody help me",
"The bar it went dry".
Jimmy said “Gina, please have no fear”
Just look in my stocking..
It’s full of beer!
So the party continued
And Christmas was here..
Have a great Christmas Season,
And Happy New Year!
Paul

It's that time of the year....will the guestbook coordinator please post the Knobs Christmas poem this year? The one about Gina doing shots in the corner of the Serb Club? Thanks!

Gina - Sorry I missed you at the Legion. I was looking for you....we didn't stay long. I had all my family at the Polish Club that night.
Gina (leather one)
October 27, 2011
I have my steampunk ready to go. See everyone around 8:30 or so.
Jimmy
October 27, 2011
I will be unable to judge, since I will be in costume also. If it doesn't fit me, I will just smoke it!
Tammy
October 24, 2011
If we're nice to Jimmy, what can we win?
Gina (leather one)
October 18, 2011
Jimmy, I don't enter costume contests. My "costumes" are generally period garb. Not fair to the others. You'll see.
Jimmy
October 18, 2011
Gina - Be nice to me....there's a good chance I will be judging the costumes!
Gina (leather one)
October 18, 2011
PJ, thank you!

I know you already got my answer, Gin. But for everyone else:
The Knobs will play their usual time of 9:30 to 1:30....there are some little fun things planned such as Knobbing for Apples, 50/50, Costume contests, etc etc. So i would say any time after 8pm would be safe. Cheers!
Gina (leather one)
October 17, 2011
What time does the Halloween party start? I'm seeing 3 different times! 7ish, 8:00, and 9:30. Should I pick a number between 7ish and 9:30??
Johnny
October 7, 2011
BTW 4/20 is also Adolph Hitler's birthday.
Tammy
October 7, 2011
It's a possibility . . .I've thinking about costumes in case I can make it.
Ricknob
October 6, 2011
Gina, I remember one occasion when I was told that I didn't miss anything. I think we were playing Sleepy Hollow. BTW, the restoration of the Hollow seems to be coming along nicely. I hope they continue to have live music.
Sorry Jimmy. I'm angry at numbers... there's too many of them.
Blazing at 4:20 seems like a good way to get fired!
The Knobs are excited to play the Halloween Party. I think my disguise will be Zombie related.
Tammy, can you come?
Jimmy
October 6, 2011
4:20 - First off, Ricknob...it would be April, not May...and 4:20 is the time when everyone is supposed to "burn one"...some college students in California (go figure) thought of this brilliance. Brilliant, I say! Just Brilliant! On a lighter note, I cannot reveal my costume, then everyone will know it's me.
Gina (leather one)
October 6, 2011
Tammy, thanks for explaining the "shoe" thing.
R.K. I've been to several of your shows over the years, perhaps you were better off looking at your shoes!
And I can't think of what Jimmy meant.
But I am looking forward to your Halloween party gig. I haven't been to a Knobs event in some time.
Ricknob
October 6, 2011
That's right Tammy, but it's no joke to me. If a girl is going to go to all that trouble, I think she deserves an attentive audience. I would hate to insult.
Jimmy is probably reminding himself of the time. Or perhaps a passage from the bible. Or maybe May 20th is a date of some importance. Jimmy?
Tammy
October 5, 2011
Gina, It's been a longstanding joke w/the Knobs that whenever anything exciting happens out on the dance floor or anywhere in the venue we're playing, specifically when a girl decides to bare body parts that are generally covered up in public, Rick misses it because he's looking at his shoes. Hence, he's planning to rig up a mirror to his shoes so he doesn't miss anything.
As for Jimmy, I'm not exactly sure what he's up to but it has something to do w/an herb that isn't legal but should be.
Gina (leather one)
October 3, 2011
OK, I must admit, I have no idea what anyone is talking about.
I am talking about a halloween costume...
Jimmy

Ricknob
October 1, 2011
I'm gonna hafta duct tape my passenger side mirror to the top of my left shoe. Give me something new to look at, if you're following the way I'm drifting. "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear"
Johnny
October 1, 2011
"Rawking the Steampunk" methinks that may be Victorian slang for "Spanking the Monkey, or perhaps "Bashing the Bishop"
Ricknob
September 30, 2011
I do feel a disturbance... Me thinks it has something to do with trying to avoid questions about M'lady's assets and the size thereof.
Tammy
September 30, 2011
Rick--"bustle in your hedgerow" is exactly what I was thinking! And I know you won't be looking at any of the ladies' Halloween costumes--you'll be looking at your shoes!
Gina (leather one)
September 29, 2011
Bustle, or noise or activity, used in this sense, means a disturbance close to home. Something's happening in your world
Right on!!!
Ricknob
September 29, 2011
I see a bustle in your hedgerow... I know that's what Tammy's thinking!
Gina (leather one)
September 29, 2011
Nah, R.K. I'm rawking the Steampunk. It is Victorian ya know. Does this bustle make my assets look big??
Ricknob
September 29, 2011
Tammy, you and Gina can uncover all you want, I'm keeping my shirt on! :) Hey! You could come to the Halloween party as Lady Godiva and Gina could come as Eve! I promise not to look...
Beavis
September 28, 2011
Gina's assets....eh eh eh eh....
Linny Baughman
September 27, 2011
I'm not doing an event at all. I just wanted to see if you guys would be willing to play and sing something with me. I will record myself doing a song by the knobs if you would like. I don't know if i can find a microphone in our house though. If there is a knobs song you would like me to sing inperticular let me know.
Gina (leather one)
September 27, 2011
Tammy, I like the way you think. Sure I'll lend some!!
Tammy
September 27, 2011
Gina--never cover up what God gave you! But umm, if you have extra, could you lend some to me?
Gina (leather one)
September 27, 2011
John, a man of the cloth is a good choice. My considerable assets have become more considerable lately. I should really keep them covered, so as not to frighten anyone!
Johnny
September 27, 2011
First off to Linny: Are you playing at some event you want me to participate with you? I'm unsure what we're doing. Personally I would like to hear you interpert a Knobs tune with me backing you up. Let me know what you want me to do.
Gina: Yes, Gina I'm aware of your continuing love affair with the Ren-Faire. I have observed your costumes over the years. I'm just thinking you may want to step out of the box this year, and emphasive your considerable assets. As for myself, given my on going affinity to all that is spiritual, I may be going as a man of the cloth. Really, it's only fitting, don't you think?
Gina (leather one)
September 26, 2011
John, as you know, I've been a Ren Faire slave for many years. Hence many, many costumes and accessories. What are you going to wear?
Linny Baughman
September 25, 2011
If you want to do a cover i could i suggest Blur Collard Man by Styx?
Linny Baughman
September 24, 2011
Johnny either a song that has already been written by you that has already been played, a song that you have been writing, or even a cover song will work. :) That's if you would like to do a duet.
Johnny
September 24, 2011
Well Linny let me know what you're thinkin'
DRJ... Nice Doors reference. Did you know that song was banned from the radio back in the because it was about Vietnam.
Gina... all this talk about your costumes is making my head spin. I have a couple of my own ideas. Of course only if you're interested!
Gina (leather one)
September 23, 2011
DRJ: Now I'm going to consider wearing my long sword and baldric.

September 23, 2011
Rick, why bring a toy when you should be carrying the real thing considering you'll be just blocks away from the crime ridden area of Biddle Village! The theme song for the night should be......Five to one baby, one in five, no one here gets, out alive!!
Gina (leather one)
September 23, 2011
R.K. OK Steampunk it is! My weapons are real, so I will leave them at home.
Ricknob
September 23, 2011
All good ideas, Gina, but my vote is Steampunk!
I'm probably going to have a sawed off shotgun (toy of course) in a scabbard, also tied.
Linny Baughman
September 22, 2011
Hey i know this is random and maybe odd but........ um..... i was wondering if johnny would like to or want to sing one of the songs that he wrote..... i like your songs and i was wondering if we could do a duet or something.
*another random comment* MY BROTHER IS LEARNING TO ROCK!!!

September 22, 2011
The reason there are no Serbs is because most of them have died off !! It hasnt had a Serb clientele for years. This thing about saving the club is a joke. Let it fold , there are plenty of other places to go. The Christmas party free give away ?? What do they get for free a piece of ham and a plate of haluski ? I think most Christmas Parties give away some free stuff.
Gina (leather one)
September 22, 2011
RK, hmmmmm. I have plenty of options:
Lolita Pirate
Steampunk
Renaissance Wench
How to decide? Hey I do have a question. Will the Legion allow me to wear a sheathed weapon? Like a dagger or short sword? Peace tied of course.
Nah, Jimmy, you are THE blast from the past!
Jimmy
September 22, 2011
Did someone say Gina? There's a blast from the past......
Ricknob
September 21, 2011
Hey Gina, the Halloween Party at the Manor Legion is going to be a blast! Have you decided on a costume?
MGT
September 21, 2011
NHT...Well we're not surprised you don't understand our comment. Go to the club Christmas Party and see whose getting free stuff. The club is open every Sunday for Steeler games. No Serbs. The club opens every Friday and Saturday at 7:00 PM plenty early, and way before the White Trash shows up. Again no Serbs. We never said the Police were never called. We said there were no arrests and it was never shut down. As far as it being "out of control" and "too big", well that's an opinion NOT a fact. There's a Serb picnic on Sunday. Hopefully it will do better than the other picnics this year. We'll see. Only time will tell, but I suspect the Club needs Biddlefest alot more than the the event needs the club. Now please if you have a fact, we'd love to hear it, if not go spend some money down there, because without Biddlefest, they are going to need it.
Gina (leather one)
September 21, 2011
OOOO, the Halloween Party looks fun...ish.
NHT
September 20, 2011
Hey Mgt. your statement makes no sense. Who are these so called Serbs that get something for nothing?? What are the so called events that give away stuff for nothing? The fact is that the place cant handle that amt. of people and was getting out of control especially in a Residential Area. There was plenty of trouble there and the police were called there numerous times.
Mgt
September 20, 2011
NHT... The fact that you didn't reveal yourself or list the any of the so called "cheap shots' speaks volumes as to your credibilty. The white trash comment is partially true. It was deemed by the board that there was too much white trash. Considering in 21 years there was never an arrest, or a request from the police to stop, that statement would be laughable, if it wasn't so pathetic. The Serbs always show up there when the're getting something for nothing. The key is getting them there when they actually have to pay for stuff.

Calendar page updated. Put Biddle on the shelf for a minute, and get yourself some gigs, ya hear? Let's think Halloween for a minute.
NHT
September 19, 2011
Hey WTF first off there aren't any Serbian People left at the club anymore so quit taking cheapshots at Serbs you bum !!! Its the white trash that shut the Biddlefest Down. They ruined it for everyone.
Ricknob
September 17, 2011
Listen now....
There ain't nothin' wrong wid a little bit o' Biddle
As a matter of fact it's just the opposital.
There is no left or right there, why, it's right down the middle,
and it's the place you can count on for a musical acquital.
Oh yea, you're right about the decor and the lack of vittles.
As well as the unattractive rooms where you go to piddle.
But there ain't nothin' wrong wid a little bit o' Biddle.
If this was an auction and up for bid was a little bit o' Biddle.
I'd have no problem placing a bid on a little bit o' Biddle.
Neither would hey diddle diddle and the cat or the fiddle.
And God forbid, if ever someone wanted to enlarge a little bit of Biddle,
I know people who'd help me fight to keep it just a little bit o' Biddle.
Hey.. someone pass that thing over here.
Penned by the late, great Phil Falcocchio, in the before time, when people smiled on their brothers and sisters, and had all sorts of party fun at the Biddlefest. Now, there is a pestilence upon Biddle. Sad times indeed.
Da Rodneys Jim

Where will it lead?
And also, if I haven't made it clear already, I want to let The Knobs know that if there is anything I can do to be of assistance in putting some sort of "biddlefest" back together again for next year and many years to come, then please don't hesitate to contact me. I'd be more than happy to help out anyway I can.
Knobs 4 Life!
Johnny
September 10, 2011
Yes, WTF, the Serbian hierarchy, in their infinte wisdom, at the Lodge in Biddle, have deemed they would be better off WITHOUT Biddlefest. Personally I don't understand the logic, but I'm not breathing the rarified air at the top of the Lodge food chain. Only time will tell if this was a good decision, or a classic blunder like Hitler invading Russia, or launching the "New" Coke. Honestly though, I think I know where this will lead.
WTF??
September 9, 2011
What's this BS about Biddlefest being cancelled? Who's the dumbass who decided this? Stupid fucking Serbs!! Or was it some other conflict? Someone fucked up on this one!

First off: liked the Animal House references.
Here's a couple, Serbian Club to Knobs:"You f***** up, you trusted us'(Otter to Flounder after the road trip)
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?(or something like that)Bluto after Dean Wormer closed the delta house.
Well I can tell you a plan is currently being hatched to revive Biddlefest for next year. Not only is it credible, and exremely doable, but it will also benefit the community at large including the Biddle Vets. I hope I didn't give anyhing away.
One last thing: Mark your debut on the Trib Total Media commercial was duly noted. You definitely have a future on the small screen!

Thanks, Mark....I'm glad you got the Animal House remark I threw in there. (Belushi)
Ricknob
August 17, 2011
Looking thru the photo gallery, it seems the majority of the pics are of people having fun at Biddlefest. I hope Alicia didn't have t shirts ordered. If she did we'll have to play a show to pay for them.
Mark
August 17, 2011
It is indeed a shame about Biddlefest. And as far as Jimmy goes, in the highly sophisticated words of Boon, from Animal House...."Forget it, he's rolling."
Middle Management
August 17, 2011
Biddlefest is indeed cancelled; I stand corrected from my Aug 9th post. We thought for sure this was just rumors, as this unfortunately has been the same scenario dealt with every year right before Biddlefest...but even the highest levels of management didn't see this coming to a cancellation. I will let any further explanation come from our fearless leader, but Jimmy you are correct on all fronts, so sad. (by the way, didn't Japan attack Pearl Harbor?!?.....just sayin :)
Jimmy
August 17, 2011
Such a shame about Biddlefest. So many great memories from over the years. So many great musicians. Joe Grushecky, Norman Nardini, Ernie Moyer, The late great Alan Anthony, from Detroit, Mi. Of Course, The Knobs, who were an integral part of the event. It is sad that one person, has the authority to destroy an event that was such a part of history to a small community like Biddle. Was it over when the Germans attacked Pearl Harbor? Hell No!
Might be a new beginning...just sayin'

August 15, 2011
I'm hearing it's cancelled again...what gives? Why would the Serbs cancel an event of that magnitude?
Middle Management
August 9, 2011
@ Casual Observer:
Actually we almost cancelled it because there wasn't enough drinking. We are remedying this issue and thank you for your patience. In the meantime, Biddlefest 22 is On.

I heard Biddlefest is cancelled. Can anyone enlighten me? It was cancelled because of too many bikers, and too much drinking?
What gives?

Thanks to Linny and all who enjoyed the show. However when you guys, the audience, get into it, and participate, well it elevates our level or playing and performing. You guys are as important to a good show as we are. So a big thank you to all who stopped to by to listen!

I caught you guys at Twin Lakes arts and heritage days in Greensburg. If i didn't stop to enjoy that show, i don't think i would have enjoyed myself as much as i did! It was a great ending to a great day!!!! keep up the good work!!!
