Sticky Vikki's
Postcards from the Gig
Postcards from the Gig

Hello friends......

My name is   Uncle Music.

I am Vikki Lee's former classmate   (she was a real whiz at trigonometry), her very good friend,  her webmaster, and without a doubt....her NUMBER ONE FAN !!!

Personally... my favorite thing about Vikki... aside from her terrific songwriting prowess,  her great slide guitar playing,  the strong distinctive intonation and quality of her voice,  her always interesting musical production aesthetic,  her effervescent personality,  her refreshing offbeat sense of humor,  and of course, her amazing appetite....(this girl really loves to eat!)...is the fact that she leads a just...

INCREDIBLY   BITCHIN'   BAND   .........the one and only....

Sticky Vikki and the Pinecones

And to all of you out there who have not yet been lucky enough to see them play....make no mistake friends...this band totally   kicks ass "live", whatever, whenever, or wherever they perform!

In fact their gigs are so exciting,  every night they have to take a few customers down off the furniture!

Well...some nights anyway.   After all, a great deal of the furniture at these gigs is not very sturdy...and usually the audience is not that young, dumb, or drunk enough to climb onto anything.....although they certainly always do go wild!

Yes...any performance by   Sticky Vikki and the Pinecones   is an absolutely unforgetable experience!

However....even though watching my dear friend Vikki Lee play "live" is completely outrageous, and one of the most seriously groovy things I can do, I end up missing most of her gigs......and this is very disturbing to me!

As most of you probably know, Sticky Vikki lives in Sacramento, California and she plays the majority of her gigs in the northern area of the state,  whereas Uncle Music resides in the heart of the southland...sunny, smog-filled Los Angeles, the so-called "City of the Angels"...on top of which Uncle Music absolutely hates to travel...(I actually do get intense jet lag simply driving from one end of the San Fernando Valley to the other!)

So...good old Uncle M usually ends up laying around at home, grumpy and moping, while one of the very best live bands in existence is knocking them dead at their shows.

Total     Bummer !!!

But Vikki Lee is such a terrific buddy. She knows how much I would prefer partying with the crowd at gigs...listening to her music with my ear stuck to the front of her amplifier...rather than being parked alone at home....listening to her music with my ear stuck to the front of the stereo speakers....so she started sending me postcards from her gigs. That way I wouldn't feel so left out... and maybe I'd get motivated enough to drag my sorry ass up north to see more of her shows.

Wow....what a sweetheart she is!

So my friends...I thought that I would share with you some of these postcards from the gig. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Maybe I'll be seeing you at one of Vikki Lee's next gigs!

If I'm there, you won't possibly be able to miss me...I'll be the geek with his ear stuck to the front of Sticky Vikki's amplifier!

By the way, we are planning on adding a special new page to Vikki's site. It will be called   Sticky Vikki and the Pinecone's   "Fan E-mails from the Gig" !

So...if any of you fine folks who have been to a recent Sticky Vikki gig and want to tell us how much you enjoyed yourself.... please submit a concise non-vulgar and well-written missive to .

Just remember guys...I will not correct any spelling or grammatical errors.   Also...since our chief executive...Mr. Spud Murphy...will be deciding which of these notes is added to the page...if your note is not included, do me a favor and complain to Spud... and not to me!
