Gary Lewis & The Playboys Without A Word Of Warning

Still remembering summer jam 1999.



It's too late for me, but, buddy not for you,
Listen close and I'll tell you what you gotta do;
Don't believe her lies,
Or fall for her alibies,
Without a word of warning she'll break your heart.

She's gonna make you think that you're the only one,
But you'll wake and find out that she was just having fun.
If things are like they were
Don't put all your trust in her.
Without a word of warning she'll break your heart.

At night you'll hear her calling you
And wanting you, and needing you by her side.
Your heart will say "Go follow her.",
But watch it, sir; remember the nights I cried.

If things are like they were
Don't put all your trust in her.
Without a word of warning she'll break your heart.

At night you'll hear her calling you
And wanting you, and needing you by her side.
Your heart will say "Go follow her.",
But watch it, sir; remember the nights I cried.

I give you this advice and it's for free,
Don't let her hurt you, buddy, like she hurt me.
She's lying from the start, she'll tear all your dreams apart.
Without a word of warning she'll break your heart

Without a word of warning she'll break your heart

Without a word of warning she'll break your heart

Coffee Cup Position Available

During one of my recent stints at the Labor Ready, I was sent to a construction clean up job where I noticed a supervisor? I guess that's what he was anyway, holding onto a coffee cup, and talking on a cell phone, and just basically walking around trying to look important, and so this is where I got the idea for this video. It's weird but it totally makes sense, at least to me anyway.

Do you have what it takes to qualify for this coffee cup position? You might, you just might.

And check this out. These are the letters blogger makes you type in before you can post. They keep getting longer and longer. And even when you type them in correctly, they say you din't, and make you type in another set of letters. Keep up the good work.

In Loving Memory Of Summer Jam

Yes there once was a thing called Summer Jam, and no it was not jam served only in the summertime, it was popular bands playing at the West Mountain ski center, and fire works after, and it was totally free. But those days are over.

I haven't been there since 1999 when Gary Lewis was playing. But since 1999 summer jam has moved to East Field, and is no longer free, it's 2 or 3 bucks a person, to see unknown bands play crappy cover versions of popular songs, or worse yet their own songs they wrote themselves that you've never heard before and never wanted to hear and never want to hear again!

And its' drunks, lots of drunks. Of course that part has never changed, you really can't really enjoy a band unless you are drunk or stoned or a combination of both. But is summer jam really worth attending? Well I haven't been since 1999, but like I say, I went for the bands. Gary Lewis in 1999, Len Berry and Tommy Roe in 1995, but there haven't been any really good bands playing at summer jam in 8 years, So I have no reason to ever go back again.

And don't take my word for it, one woman said Summer jam in Glens Falls, New York is Terrible!

"...It is nothing but a large crowd of drunk people tripping over small children who are running wild. The security was terrible, as were most of the bands. Obvious drug use was rampant....All in all, Summer jam was not only a complete waste of time and money, it could have actually been dangerous. If you happen to be in Glens Falls, NY for Fourth of July, make sure to run screaming from Summer jam at East Field!"

But in memory of summer jam days gone by I dug up my vhs recording of Gary Lewis in 1999, and am doing my best to transfer it to digital, one song at a time.
