Aw, c'mon Casey -

Roosso moved to ToHellYouRide fifty years ago this coming August, and I hear the Elks Club has invited him back for the Golden Anniversary of his initiation into the B.P.O.E.   In honor of this occasion 'Pete Salad-bar and the Macadamia Nuts' – a Cajun / Zydeco band featuring Phil Salazar on fiddle, Teresa Russell on guitar and Roosso de los Locos himself on the rub-board* – will be opening for Oprah's show at the Sheridan Opera House, where Roosso once worked as a lowly projectionist.   Don't Miss It!!!
