Continuing the 11th anniversary celebration, just a few throwback photos for you today. The postcard above is, we think, from the first months at Largo when we had to introduce the show to a new audience.

WJ Players Hal Lublin and Annie Savage used to play “comedy duo” “Acker & Blacker“ to introduce the show at M Bar:

Of course, these days Hal is a bigshot voice over actor appearing on The Venture Brothers. Here he is with Venture Brothers creator Jackson Publick at our last show in April 2015:

And here’s Annie with her then-boyfriend/now-husband, Fred Cross, in 2009:

Also from 2009, here’s a photo from what we believe was James Urbaniak’s first show with us:

And here’s James at our final show:

Post-show at M Bar was always a party. Often the WorkJuice Players would join Common Rotation for a song or two. Here’s Craig Cackowski with the band:

You’ll notice our old pal Mark McConville of Superego in the band. Mark played with the Dustbowl Cavaliers, who would also often play the after-show.

Here’s Mark at our final show:

What did we do to him? Here’s more TAH after-show with Common Rotation, Marc Evan Jackson, and our pals HoneyHoney:

And a couple of final song shots, always the most fun way to end the show:

From Largo, June 2010: “Now podcasting!”

Check back all week for more trips down memory lane. Wait’ll we get to Autumn, DiMaggio, Ennis, and Urbaniak!

Common Rotation - Allentown

[millerflintstone]

I have T-Rex arms. This killed my shoulders after a while. Trying to keep the hoop in place to create the illusion is hard.

I don't know why this happened, but I'm glad that it did.

Replace guitar solo with sax and trumpet. Check.

Harmonize melodies. Check.

Trade in spandex suits for flannel. Check.

This picture may not look like much- just two dudes standing in what seems to be an elevator. But this picture is very special to me. One day, Adam Busch (actor and member of one of my favorite bands, Common Rotation) tweeted that he was going to play at Petty Fest. I already knew that Ryan from Guster would be there as well, and so I tweeted to Adam "Say hi to Ryan Miller (@guster) for me". I didn't think any thing would come from it, but I was wrong. The day after Petty Fest, Adam Busch sent out a tweet with both me and Guster tagged in it that simply said "done" and had this picture attached. Not only did Adam take the time to meet Ryan, but thought to take a picture with him and tweet it with me in mind. It was so sweet of him to do that, and it made me feel warm and fuzzy and special for the rest of the day. Thank you, Adam Busch. It may not have seemed like much, but it meant a lot to me.

Since there's a lot of talk about Paget Brewster's lovely voice on my dash right now, here's a clip of her from 2008 performing a cover of "Diamonds are Forever." She's accompanied by the band Common Rotation.

Sparks Nevada Theme (Cover) - Common Rotation

I'm not a poet, nor a prophet, though I dream from time to time I'm an artist of illusion, and I sketch a strange design
