3-17-08 RONNIE RAY HAS A LARGE DAY IN BARRA DE NAVIDAD
3-14-08 The Que?Pasa Redneck Mother reunion with Ronnie Ray
went quite well with a packed house and the donations for
Bernie came from a VERY GENEROUS CROWD.
1-13-08 Thanks to all of you that have supported Bubba and the
Bottom Feeders and The Redneck Mothers over the past years.
Steve has completed his move to Barra de Navidad and Trish
has her new "vacation" home in Barra. Arlie and Blaine have
also initiated construction of their homes. We will continue as
The Redneck Mothers and it looks as if we have found a new
home for the band. Saturday, we played at "The Cadillac
Ranch", on the causeway into Barra de Navidad (the entrance is
across from the waterpark..see below) and appears as if we will
continue there on Saturday afternoons.
11-22-2007 We'll be wrapping it up on the North shore and Puerto
Vallarta. We will play at Que?Pasa on the 4th, 11th and, our farewell
show on the 18th of December. We will also play at Larry's Place in
Rincon de Guayabitos for three shows on Mondays, 3rd, 10th and 17th.
8-23-07 Well, it’s official. Yule and I have purchased a lot in Barra de
Navidad and begin construction of our new home in late October of this
year. Although Bucerias, La Cruz and the surrounding Banderas Bay
area has been our home for over 20 years, the decision to sell our
house and move to Barra was driven by our two school age daughters to
enter a community with a more local and established educational flavor,
miles of unadulterated coastline, and a possible music scene during the
winter tourist seasons. We will still be close enough to keep in touch
with the myriad of friends that we have made through our music.
The many volunteers that made Bubba and the Bottomfeeders work at
110% efficiency will continue to support those families in need in
Bucerias.
Trisha and I will continue the Redneck Mother tradition in Barra while
Beto and Chico will remain here as full time members of the Bahia
Banderas Municipal Orchestra.
Once again, heartfelt thanks go out to the many friends and fans that
have supported us throughout our years of gigging up and down the
coast from La Penita to Puerto Vallarta. Special thanks to Lynnda and
to folks at Que?Pasa that have supported us from the beginning and
continue to support us for the upcoming season.
7-29-2007 THANKS TO ALL THAT MADE JOHN'S WELCOME HOME A

5-31-2006 TOM COLVIN'S REVIEW "I have it on good authority that Steve
Park & Trish Alexander of the Redneck Mothers will begin Friday
night gigs as a duo at Larry's Place in Bucerias,
Larazo Cardenas 500. During the high season, this
venue is operated by another owner as IXTA; Larry has
arranged to take over the venue and run it under a
different name and policy during the off-season.
Listeners have only had rare glimpses of Steve & Trish
as a duo. Personally, I prefer this line up to the
fuller band. It's much easier to pay attention to the
lyrics in this setting. And the lyrics are really
worth listening to: maybe as much as 80 percent of
their duo repertoire are originals by Steve. Steve &
Trish have also worked out a lot of engaging duo vocal
harmonies, as well.
5-18-06 THE SEASON IS OVER AND IT'S TIME TO KICK BACK FOR A
"REDNECK MOTHER" SUMMER OF FUN AT THE "NEW" QUE?PASA ON
TUESDAY NIGHTS AND CLUB SAN PANCHO ON SATURDAY AFTERNOONS

12-05-2004 NOVEMBER--WHAT A MONTH ! AS THE SEASON BEGINS IT'S
GREAT TO SEE ALL OF THIS SUMMER'S WORK AT DEVELOPING NEW
MATERIAL FOR THE REDNECK MOTHERS SATISFY OUR DEMANDS. WE
NOW HAVE THREE SEPARATE 3 HOUR SHOWS TO MEET THE CRUNCH OF 4
SHOWS A WEEK. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS HAS DELAYED THE PRODUCTION
OF OUR CD "LIVE AT SR WHISKERS" FOR ANOTHER MONTH.
WE NEED TO GIVE SPECIAL THANKS TO THAT "CREW" FROM QUE?PASA
WHO SPEND THEIR "SATURDAYS IN THE COUNTRY" AND SUPPORT US AT
SR WHISKERS AND BRITANNIA.
11-07-2004 ALTHOUGH THE SHOW "BUBBA AND THE BOTTOMFEEDERS"
HAS TEMPORARILY BEEN PUT ON HOLD, WE WISH TO INFORM ALL OF
OUR CONTRIBUTORS AND SUPPORTERS THAT THIS ACTION WOULD NOT
HAVE BEEN TAKEN IF ENOUGH FUNDS WERE NOT AVAILABLE TO
CONTINUE THE ASSISTANCE OFFERED TO THE NEEDY OVER THE PAST
YEARS. AS MOST OF YOU REALIZE, THE BULK OF THE WORK OF THE
"BOTTOM FEEDER" ORGANIZATION IS DEVOTED TO RESEARCHING AND
IDENTIFYING THOSE WHO ARE TRULY IN NEED AND THEN MAKING
THOSE APPROPRIATE SERVICES AVAILABLE. THE MANY VOLUNTEERS AND
THEIR MAN HOURS ARE STILL IN OPERATION AND THAT DEDICATION TO
FOOD DISTRIBUTION AND MEDICAL ASSISTANCE WILL CONTINUE.

TOM COLVIN-MODERATOR
Tuesday nights belong to the Red Neck Mothers!
This group of Bucerias area residents, a mix of Mexican and expat,
has been playing every Tuesday at Que Pasa, the upstairs bar above
Santa Barbara on Olas Altas in Southside, near the corner of Basilio
Badillo. They developed a remarkable summertime following, in recent
weeks filling the place for the 7-10 p.m. Performance. When the
snowbirds return, Que Pasa may be filled to the rafters on Tuesdays.
The group plays what I would call country rock, with occasional
excursions into blues.
