Good Things Come To Those That Wait



















It has been nearly a year in the works since the local Classic Rock Band ALIBI had first approached The Midway Bar and Grill about performing there.

Things finally came together on Saturday evening  December 28th.

The club was filled to near capacity as the group brought their equipment in to set to up. Just a few minutes after 9:00pm the long wait was finally over.

The band ALIBI performed a host of Danceable Classic Rock songs that were well received. By the second song of the second set the audience were up on their feet and danced to nearly every song for the remainder of the evening. The crowd didn't hold back on their enthusiasm and had a great time.

ALIBI at The Lounge's 5:05 Club in Perryville

ALIBI rocked The Lounge's 5:05 Club Saturday night on 23 November.

ALIBI puts a lot of effort into their rehearsal schedule and that's really paying off as they just keep getting better and better.

Together with the band's new sound system, which provided a wonderful balance to their overall mix they had the dance floor filled for almost every song.



Scott Lay's version of "Wagon Wheel" along with the band's three part vocal harmonies had jaws dropping.

STIX's newest vocal renditions of "Magic Carpet Ride", "Already Gone" and "Can't You See" together with the backup harmonies from Joe Inkley sounded exceptional and were very well received.

Because of this, the band received numerous compliments and were told by many that their overall sound was "Awesome".



ALIBI returns for a Special Event at The Lounge's 5:05 Club when they perform for the New Year's Eve Party. You don't want to miss the surprises the band has in store for the evening's entertainment.

Please remember to come out early because seating is limited.

About the CLASSIC ROCK BAND ALIBI



ALIBI is a three piece Classic Rock Band based originally out of Ste Genevieve, MO but have since relocated and now rehearse in Cedar Hill, MO.

Current Members of ALIBI include Lead Guitarist /Vocalist SCOTT LAY, Drummer/Vocalist STIX DOUGLAS and the newest member of the Group Bassist/Vocalist JOE INKLEY who rounds out the Group's line up.

ALIBI performs a number of dance related songs from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s with a few others sprinkled in.

ALIBI's success can be contributed to its commitment to providing the music that has been long forgotten or never experienced by many of the local so called basement bands. Simply put the Group, ALIBI does what works and does it with harmony.

Each member of ALIBI is very knowledgeable and is a talented musician besides being versatile with a number of instruments. Together we produce one enjoyable evening of music after another every time we play.

Take the time and make the effort to come, see and hear for yourself. Dance to some of the finer memories of rock and join us, you will soon be telling your friends what they are missing.

ALIBI at The Spillway

We had booked The Spillway several months in advance and the date for our first gig with them was originally set for Saturday, 08 June 13.

However, due to a double booking for that date our gig was cancelled, which started a domino effect that in the long run worked to our advantage. We were invited to return and perform on that date at Bootheel Harley-Davidson for a second time.

At Bootheel we performed in the KGMO 100.7FM Radio Station Rock and Rumble Battle of the Bands (see post on 08 Jun 2013 to hear our performance of "No Matter What") and were interviewed live on air by the Radio Station.


Our performance there lead to our being invited to perform at the highly publicized biker event called "Bikers on the Square" in Perryville the weekend prior to our new booking to perform at the The Spillway on Saturday, 29 June 2013.

With all the publicity we received throughout the month of June we had a very substantial audience for our debut at The Spillway.



The crowd came from all over the surrounding area with some traveling more than 20 miles to get there. Included among the regulars that evening were some of the members of the Board of Directors from the City of Perryville.

I enjoyed performing with ALIBI at the Spillway, with its good sized, diverse audience. Most were welcoming and warmed up to us rather quickly. Dancers filled the floor early and were very enthusiastic about the music we were doing.

We have been asked several times to return to The Spillway but have had scheduling difficulties in finding another available date. We hope to be able to return in the not too distant future.

STIX Douglas joins ALIBI

STIX Douglas, the original drummer and vocalist of the blues/rock band JOYBONE; has joined lead guitarist Scott Lay and bass guitarist Danny Brown in a new classic rock group known simply as ALIBI.



Currently with nothing on JOYBONE's immediate schedule and with both ALIBI and JOYBONE having their roots in dance related material, the change was a nearly perfect fit.

After several weeks of intense rehearsals, ALIBI will be performing at several locations in and around Ste. Genevieve and Perryville area in Missouri.

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.

In the meantime click on the last word of the song title above to hear and view the song that started it all again.
