Greetings and salutations from Scott Middleton. I'll be trying to keep you posted on what I've been up to here on this page beginning
today. Be sure and sign my message board. It's more fun than you should be aloud to have without being arrested. While you're at it
send me an email. Or visit my contact page.

Since leaving Indianapolis last February to embark on a sledding excursion from which I would not return I've spent a lot of time
healing. I began playing again just as soon as I could tolerate the pain. Sometimes pain will just piss you off and make you play harder.
I began playing with some locals in the area (North Manchester, IN) that called themselves Nuthin'. We did a lot of practicing and
played a few gigs together. I then hooked up with Cross Eyed Dotti. I tried to juggle both acts but soon ran into double booking
problems and went with Dotti. We're all still buds. I think. Since then I've been looking for a full time gig basically anywhere that will
make it affordable for me to be there. While searching, working and waiting to see where this path leads me I've been freelancing,
working with such acts as the Eric Ferris Band, Matt Wariner, Crossfire, Stone 10, Decades, and the Rob and Jerry Show featuring
Scott Middleton on percussion. With a little help from Robin Smith at the controls I've also laid down some percussion beds for a
little band called Mind Rape from Utah who sent me their files. In between working on their tracks I created grooves for four more of
Robin's chordal inventions he'd been pondering. To hear some of these and other projects of Robin's just click the link on his name
above. Fir now I'm takin' er moment to moment. Here're the gigs I've got lined up from here, Lord willin' and if the crick don't rise.

12/15/05 Hey y'all. Steve and I are now finishing up our obligation with Tipsy and have just laced up a
deal with 4 AM. We'll begin with them already next week right here at the Labonte in Douglas, WY.
Steve and I are already here with Tipsy so the logistics of it all (which can often be a headache) coudn't be
any simpler. I'll link you to their page but they don't have their dates posted and I don't have them
specifically yet except to say that we are here at the Labonte 12/20/05-12/23/05 and I believe we're ot the
Rocking Rodeo? in Cheyenne next week. That's New Year's week 12/27/05-12/31/05. And the following
week 1/3/06-1/7/06. And then back here at the Labonte 1/10/06-1/15/06. See ya. Happy New Years
and I'll try to keep you posted on any errors in this program I've posted and new information as it comes
in. Peace,
