We lost one of our dearest friends and fans with the passing of Connie Weatherford Thomas, of Moberly, on Friday, January 9. We are dedicating this ENTIRE YEAR of gigs to the memory of Connie, a great gal and a TRUE ROCK AND ROLLER! NOW AVAILABLE! Lee Dresser's new book tracing the history of the Krazy Kats and his many years in the wonderful world of music. "WAS THERE A BAND HERE TONIGHT?" is both humorous and informative, where you will learn (among other things)... ...about the short life of the 'Dresserettes' ...where he FIRST met Bob Hope ...how he was 'discovered' by Regis Philbin ...what advice he received from 'Gilligan' ...why he was lying on Wilt Chamberlain's bed ...why he was chauffeured by Danny Thomas ...why Richard Dreyfuss napped on his couch ...what he was doing in Raquel's bathroom ...what Dolly told him about her fantasies and ...why bands should NEVER play next to sheep pens! This book will be available at all Krazy Kats performances or can be ordered by emailing: krazykats@kc.surewest.net You can also order it by writing Lee at: Lee Dresser-12367 S. Gallery St.-Olathe, KS 66062
We have just released our first DVD "50 Years of Rock and Roll". It is a sixty-two minute movie about the history of the Kats, with some special guest stars. We'll have it available at all our performances. ".......Next were the Krazy Kats, who were rockin' like wildfire, energetic and charismatic, a killer trio. The wild piano man excelled on Jerry Lee's "Lovin' Up A Storm" and belted out a super wild Little Richard medley. Holy moley! This powerhouse trio is clearly in great shape and ready to rumble. Their own "Beat Out My Love" was a highlight, with Deke Dickerson joining in for the last few songs, and the drummer demonstrating his chops playing on the guitar player/lead singer's axe. COOL!"Rockin' 50's Fest II April 2005 Oneida Casino, Green Bay, WI Reviewed by Gaby Maag-Bristol for BLUE SUEDE NEWS Established 1957 |

"Three young boys in the middle of Missouri Barely in our teens and always in a hurry Livin' in the fifties without any goals When along came a thing called rock 'n' roll So we took the situation right in hand And got us up a rockin' little three-piece band Time went by, but we're still here STILL ROCKIN' AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!" |
