Hey we're excited to say Mesa Boogie likes our sound and has signed on as a sponser and the boys will be playing strictly thru Mesa! Garr has been using Mesa for about a year now and the tone is what we we were looking for now we'll have it on all Guitars, Bass & Keys! We are excited!
Thank You Mesa Boogie!

Mesa/Boogie is a company in California that makes amplifiers for guitars and basses.

Mesa was started by Randall Smith as a small repair shop which modified Fender combos to give them more gain. Soon the word spread, and with users like Carlos Santana, Boogie became one of the big names in the industry. Other notable Boogie users include John Petrucci from Dream Theater, Buckethead, Metallica, Jerry Cantrell, Frank Zappa, Andy Timmons, Cannibal Corpse, Helmet and Tool.

Again we want to thank Mesa Boogie!

Come out and catch us the next time we're in your town!

Feeling Lost

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Its a sad time in the STAGECOACH camp as we lost a Brother of the Road

Jody Hall longtime Bass player for STAGECOACH 1982-2004 died September 28th at 9:55 at Methodist Hospital after a long illness you will be missed brother and I'll never forget the roar of your Bass and the laughs from your heart!
One of the best Bass players I ever shared the stage with! The last show he did with us was a benefit and he insisted he wanted to be a part of it he did it from his wheel chair and was weak from his sickness but that Fender roared that night as he put his heart into it luckily we captured it all on a CD!
Play on Brother till we meet again, BEAR

Jody was probally was one of the strongest people I ever knew it seemed he was always fighting another turmoil in his life when he was 20 yrs. old he weighed about 450 lbs and the Drs. told him if he didn't lose weight he would never see 25! He was the first person in Indiana to have the Bariatric surgery to lose weight and was in I.U. medical center for 2 yrs.
he fought and got through that leveled off at about 200 lbs and was doing great got married and had two kids and was living a great life and then his younger sister at 25 died from cancer and Joe adapted her little girl and raised her as his own. And then it hit again when his Dad died suddenlly. 19 years after his surgery he was diagnosed with Hepatitus C caused from a blood transfusion from the surgery when he was given tainted blood and it laid dorment for 19 years! He had to have a Liver transplant which he finally got and had to fight through that and was starting to get back on track when his Mom struck ill and died! And we're all thinking how much more can this poor guy take? And then last summer they diagnose him with lung cancer he went through the Chemo fighting as usual and being strong as ever and then last Febuary his 14 yr. old son died and Lil' Joe was his life they we're always together Joe was teaching him to play Bass and he had started his own little band which Joe was helping him with as well as being an assistant coach on the Middle School and High School football team! He loved Kids, Music, and football and did what he loved even when he had to be on stage or the field in his chair he was there! But after Lil' Joe died he told me man I can't get over this I miss him too much and he was right he just went downhill after that hardly ever happy and joyful as he always was and never smiling and then last night at the Hospital before he died he opened his eyes and looked at me and gave me the biggest smile and I actually think he was happy again and was going to be with Lil' Joe once again
I hope so anyway!
