The Band RETROLUX

THE CONTINUING SAGA OF JOYBONE - Lie Letter #3

The Surgeon General has just announced another finding...The Blues/Rock music performed by ...the band JOYBONE could be considered contagious.

Symptoms may also include one or more of the following: perspiration, dry mouth, head weaving or bobbing, tapping of the feet, snapping of the fingers, erotic wiggling, constant smiling and laughter is not uncommon.

A study from a local university shows a direct connection. Those that have listened many times had no hearing loss, but did become highly stimulated. Doctors say that “...more testing is needed...” Those exposed directly also seemed to have a slight weight reduction. The music generated causes physical exertion, in the form of what is commonly known as dancing. Doctors went on to say, “Those with weak hearts could also participate, if done in moderation”.

It was previously thought that JOYBONE was habit forming but, there has been no medical evidence of any connection proven. Click on the word JOYBONE to find out for yourself.

You will be kept updated as more information becomes available, but you don’t need a brain surgeon’s opinion to know that “Everyone else’s music is only skin deep, theirs goes all the way to your JOYBONE!"

Blues/rock band to perform for Ride for Sight

By Sterling Bradley

JOYBONE is on the rise like a phoenix from out of the ashes. This phenominal Blues/Rock band from the early part of this decade is back from a long seven year absence bigger, better and badder than ever before.

While some of the names have changed you will still enjoy the erotic drumming by original band member STIX Douglas; together with the soulful sounds of the bass guitarist from 9-1-1, Jon Fulmer and the fabulous St. Louis native Paul Beasley on lead guitar. The combined vocals of this trio and their arrangements of this unusual “feel good” music are well worth coming out to hear.

They are receiving rave reviews while performing at local clubs throughout the area including the Hwy. 61 Blues and Jazz Jams at the ROADHOUSE & Kitchen in Webster Groves, and at CHEERS in Valley Park. They’re already booked for the House Springs Lions Club Ride for Sight on 25 April 2010.

JOYBONE performs at Hwy. 61 Roadhouse & Kitchen

On most Tuesdays the Hwy. 61 Roadhouse Kitchen in Webster Groves, Missouri, holds its Open Mike Night. The big difference was on 09 February 2010, the band JOYBONE made its debut with four songs.

This newly reformed group led by original band member STIX Douglas on drums, Paul Beasley on lead guitar and Jon Fulmer on bass guitar has been playing together for a little over two weeks, but you would never know it from their polished performance.















All three are very talented musicians and their full bodied sound with delightful harmonies kept the crowd entertained.

If you would like to see and hear their performance of three of the four songs simply click the link on the last word of the song title below and it will take you to the video clip.

Everyday I Have the Blues.
I Can See Clearly Now.
Ain't No Sunshine.

Stix Douglas performs with Alvin Jett at Hwy. 61 Roadhouse and Kitchen

Alvin Jett performed an impromptu version of Pants on the Ground during the Tuesday open mike night at the Roadhouse together with STIX Douglas on the drums.

This proved to be beneficial for STIX Douglas who was approached after his performance by Paul Beasley and Jon Fulmer.

After some discussion that night, arrangements were made for this trio to begin practice later this week and reform STIX's band JOYBONE.

You can look forward to hearing from this group in the not too distant future.
