Buddha, we have a shirt basically as you described sold at our shows. Hopefully by next month we will have shirts on our site selling via our PO box orders. Have spoken to Bob G over the years with no luck. Looking for club in your area, any ideas?
8/13/2010 11:56:36 AM ' buddha' Mkpittston@aol.com
When i worked at Emmett's Inn in jamesburg NJ, you guys gave us all t-shirts with the rat wearing the top-hat, my ex-wife kept it in the divorce. Is it possible to find those shirts anywhere?
8/12/2010 9:33:00 PM ' buddha"
Wow, i can't believe you guys are touring again. I use to bartend at a club in jersey, ' emmett's Inn in jamesburg back in the 70's. I worked by bob for 14 years, i still have those rubber rats. mkpittston@aol.com

Rats were sent to kitchen so rotten owner could renege on summer contract.Rats showed up in chef's outfits,Peppi passed out, and they won ensuing lawsuit!Lawsuit has been taught in many colleges!
7/10/2010 10:40:38 PM IrishTerri
Saw you guys last night in Glen Cove. The only bad thing I have to say is that you played too many cover songs. When I see The Good Rats...................I want to hear Rat songs!! Love You!
7/10/2010 9:27:14 PM Ann
Saw the show last night (7/9/10) in Glen Cove. It was great. Saw you last year at the same place, but this years show was better. Peppy, you know how to move a crowd.
7/9/2010 9:47:26 AM Ed Smith
Saw your show last night (07/08/10) at Speno Park,East Meadow and I thought it was great.Peppy and the band were right on.You seem to get better with age but 66 is NOT old.Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Just read the new "official" bio of the Rats. How proud am I to be mentioned there?
3/10/2010 12:25:29 PM Dan the keyboard man
Jeanne: No, Rat Race Choir was a separate band, no direct relation to The Good Rats. However, both bands did play at the Fore-n-Aft, and may have shared stages a few times in the distant past.
3/9/2010 5:01:23 AM JC from Mississippi
Four Rats fans from down south are traveling to see you at BB King's! Can't wait to see the original lineup for the first time. Rock on my friends!

2/19/2010 12:39:28 PM Dan the keyboard man
Dave K., unfortunately the interview was called off due to snow; the campus and public roads were closed so Randy could not get to the radio station. Mama Nature has been busy this year.
2/18/2010 10:26:10 AM Kathy
Joe Pal you missed an awesome show at the Record Collector! Where were you?
2/17/2010 12:34:41 PM Dave Kanyan www.davekanyan.webs.com
Did anyone hear this interview? How did it go? Is it archived anywhere? Peppi's doing an interview on Randy Now's Capital Garage show Online at www.WTSR.org 2/10/2010
