Disney's Calif. Adventure- October 5, 2002
Local favorite
insects, The Bug Band made a rare appearance this week at
Disney's California Adventure for the Annual Passholders Preview of
the new Flik's Fun Fair. The special event included a buffet meal of
prime rib, a panel discussion with Pixar Studios head, John Lasseter
and others, a musical mealtime serenade by a Beetle-like group,
YESTERDAY and free rides and a tour of the new Flik's Fun Fair area.

the event for this reporter was the appearance of THE BUG BAND, who
played for passing guests and posed for pictures.

Billy Elvis, Kirk Wall played a surprise guest set
with Dennis Fetchet's other band, The Grateful Dudes on Saturday
night, the 28th of September. Both Mr. Wall and the pizza were well received
and enjoyed by local fans. Mr. Wall hadn't visited the Grateful
Dudes hang-out since the late 1990's and was long overdue to share
his wonderful musical skills. Songs included "The Letter", "Slue
Foot', "Wheel Hose", and "Blue Moon of Kentucky" Elvis-style. For

4 out of 5 Frontierland Doctors are
discovering the benefits of eating chili cheese fries. Reports have
been coming in from all over the territory. The Golden Horseshoe
Saloon indicted to this reporter that sales had slumped during the
warm summer, but an increase in sales is expected as temperatures
fall in the coming months. |
Dateline, DCA
- Oct. 5-6, 2002
Billy Hill & the Hillbillies
will change "hats", so to speak, and perform this week-end at the
California Adventure Premiere of Flik's Fun Fair/Bug Land.
The Bug Band will
be playing both Saturday and Sunday at various hours.
The Saturday
night shows are a private affair for guests who purchased the $125.
event package. This event will be from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
At this time, this
reporter was not sure if the other Sunday shows would be open to the public or
not. Bill Hill and the Hillbillies had performed previously as the Bug Band for the Opening
of California Adventure in Feb. 2001.

In this reporter
opinion, it is the best country style CD to be heard in a long time.
Copies are available through Rick. Pop on over and pay him a visit
at DCA and tell him the Billy Gazette highly recommended it.
