ROCK ON BACK TO MAIN STREETKILLING TIME
Dear RoadHard,
Hello! How is the U.S. of A? Well, my name is Joe Juras and I am a
grunt serving in Bosnia at Camp McGovern. Yes it sucks! It's just life in the
Army! I just wanted to write to ya'll and say thanks for your support. It
makes what we are doing worth it wether we believe in the mission or not.
Knowing that some people really care about us makes many of us feel better,
especially when a great band like JB Walker and his Cheap Whiskey Band comes and
puts on a great concert. They gave us a break from the day to day bull and
reminded us that we don't have long until we are back in the world and be able
to ride. There own music was great! "Everybody Dies" and "Redheaded
Woman" kicked ass! Since I am married to a feisty Redhead it hit home. It
has been six years since I have had the chance to ride. My Bro back home is
hooking me up, he is checking prices and quality for me. Why am I telling you
all this? I have a friend who swears by the Iron Horse Saloon and he flipped
out when JB was giving away Iron Horse T Shirts. Me and a handful of my Bros in
the Army are going to meet up at the Iron Horse in 98 during Bike Week for a
Bosnia reunion and to thank Billy and Sally for the stuff in person. Thanks
again for all ya'll have done to support us.
Ride Free,

HEY JOE;
You're more
than welcome and we look forward to seeing you guy's in 98. Billy and Sally at
the Iron Horse always support the CWB Troop shows, they are #1.
DOING TIME;
Dear RoadHard,
Your staff and all the members of
JB Walker and Band really contributed to a simple request! The early part of
this summer I wrote and inquired about where to acquire the CD "Iron Horses
and Wild Women 96" which was mentioned in EasyRider in Rip's column. You
promptly sent me the CD and threw in some magazines. I can only say that I
should have sent you this letter out sooner, and thank you as you rightfully
deserve.
Allthough I was unable to put the CD to my use, I forwarded it home as
a pass around. I have heard from family & friends & brothers who
assured me they are out scavenging for any and all other releases they can
locate.
The magazines you provided have led to many great days of
reading around here. We spend our hours recalling days that for some of us are
surrounded in cobwebs. I look forward to the day somewhere in the future when I
will be back out in West Texas puffin'.
If you would like to print this
letter of thanks, permission is fully granted. Once again, thanks for the act
of generosity to a group of down brothers.
Your brother first & certainly a fan. Always,

HEY Country, You are more than welcome and we are going to get some
more magazines out to ya'll soon. We will forward this letter to the CWB.
Thanks.
Dear RoadHard,
Hello from Hungary! Just thought I would pass
along the word from the commander, "The Cheap Whiskey Band Ruled!" I
have also enclosed an article from our local rag, the American Endeavor, there
is a pretty good picture of the band on the back cover. People are still
talking about the great time they had during the 4th of July Concert. All of
the top brass around here have taken to calling me Janis. BG Cassey even tried
to get me to sing to LT General Abrams on a video teleconference.
I
just wish all of the D.O.D. shows were as good as you guy's are. We just had
the most god-awful group come through here! The Liberty Misses couldn't sing
and couldn't dance, it was completely terrible. Poor John McIntosh had to
escort them to 20 different shows down in the box! What a nightmare!
I
hope you all had a nice trip back to the states and the Veterans Concert went
well. We have been pretty busy around here getting ready for BB King. It
should be a great concert as well. Well, gotta get back to work. Keep in touch!
Sincerely,

Dear RoadHard,
How are all of you? I am at the lace office
playing with the computer, it is a new toy for me. Could you get JB Walker to
be involved in an auction for my club to benefit hearing impaired children. All
he would have to do is be auctioned off as a slave for a night to one of our
club members. All proceeds go to the children. It occurs during bike week and
since he will be in Daytona during that time, well, see what he says. We look
forward to seeing JB Walker and Cheap Whiskey, it is the highlight of the year
for me. Tell Mr. Pat and the others I said hello as well. It still gets warm
here during the day but it is to cold to go swimming, so I spend a lot of time
on my bike. One other thing, your photographer took some pictures of us during
Biketoberfest and we would like to get copies. Could you have him E Mail us at:
Laceone@aol.com. Thanks.
Your friend,
Ann, Leather & Lace
Dear Ann,
Just got off the phone with JB and after he quit laughing at the
possibilities he said he would love to do it. RoadHard donates free space to
charities, so send us some info on the event. Thanks for reading.
Dear RoadHard,
I am a Biker who enjoys your magazine. JB
and his band are right in the middle of the Biker Scene and are a great way to
find out what is going down.
I have seen JB Walker and the Cheap Whiskey Band in concert many times
all over the South and more than once, they saved my life. That's right saved
my life! They always have those Goody's Headache Powders and after most of the
really killer parties I need something to keep my head from exploding. Ride To
Live!

Dear RoadHard,
Thank you for the magazines you sent along
with the Cheap Whiskey Band when they came to play for us misplaced Americans
in Bosnia with the Army. They had all kinds of free things for us, even Goody's
Powders! Where do they get them from! That really brought a taste of home for
us Southern Boys. We appreciate all the support. from the Bikers. Thank You.

Victor,
Thank you for the letter. The Goody's Headache Powder Company supports
American Forces, so they always send some free samples, T Shirts and things
with JB on his overseas tours to give away. Those things are just like the
Army, they get the job done too. Letters can be sent to: RoadHard Magazine Box
