Just what the doctor ordered,
a caribbean cruise filled with good times

Thanks to all of you for making it so incredible~

JUNE 9, 2008 

Rascal

Our canine friend of 18+ years  finally
reached the sad sunset of his life last night.

We wanted to give Rascal a tribute
as we reluctantly say goodbye to the 
closest thing to a son that we'll ever have.

We are truly grateful for the successful life he had with us
but must admit, we grew very fond of him over so many years
and this week, our hearts are indeed broken.

As a rescued animal 17.5 years ago,
we found Raz at the local animal shelter:

when he was only 6 months old.

The day Robin came to take him home, Raz immediately got
in Robin's lap in the car, wrapped both paws around Rob's neck,
as if to hug him, and then he kissed Robin's cheek, and put his head
calmly on Rob's shoulder as if to thank him. It was an amazing moment.

He won our hearts immediately. 
From then on, it was car and motorcycle rides,
many fun days of playing, running, and hanging together as a family.

For the past 3 years, Robin and Lori have dedicated most of
their personal time to being with Raz as he grew very old and delicate.
Rascal was an integral part of our family, and he will be deeply missed.
Our house in the pics below has never known a world without him.

Below, is a collage, of pictures spanning from the first year of his life,
through the middle, and to the twilight sunset of his last Christmas 6 months ago.

All we can do is something like this tribute,
because we want the whole world to know
all about the coolest dog we've ever had. 
We promise we will never forget you Razzy,
and to help us,  we give thanks to the folks at the 
Springfield Humane Society who will be
honoring Rascal's memory on their happy homes page.

SPRING 2008
With an ailing 18 year old family dog needing 
constant care, and the demands of their jobs 
at Dartmouth, Robin and Lori are still working 
in the studio in their spare time to complete
their new album titled: 

ECLECTICWORKS

I

With new songs taking shape, 
the list should prove worthy of it's title.
With this varied mix, you'll hear a lot of
different styles.

Summer 2007

A very special summer trip/vacation:

Robin says he cannot begin to say what it means, to finally be 
heading "home" for a visit to the state of his birth....

Possibly the best time  he says he will ever have in his life.

He continues with:

"The very core of my being is elated beyond belief, 
and I have so many mixed emotions on the whole thing....

There is a very personal reason why it has taken this long but At last,
Lori and I are coming down to Texas to address some very personal things
from my past..... The spiritual pull is telling me it's time to complete
this circle and chapter, or novel in my life...

Fate has dropped some big hints lately as it opened all the right doors, 
and made it all fall into place very quickly.

We also come of course to visit with friends, see some of the history and music,
and hopefully meet some of the people and musicians that 
we've missed out on for all these years-> the icing on the cake.

It's a very special trip for me indeed... and on behalf of Lori and myself, 
we say to those of you we are about to meet 'Soul To Soul',

it's an honor.... you've no idea how lucky we are to be doing this.

Blessings, best wishes, and
~Mahalo!~

Spring 2007

On Saturday May 12th, 2007 Lori and Robin
had a wonderful encore screening of

at Dartmouth college!

They had been busy planning for
that fun day since the November screening,
and are currently also making great strides
on their new original material and cover songs
for the next phase in their music:

They have already compiled
a wonderful setlist which pays tribute to many
of the musicians they love, past and present.
Their new approach will bring them back to
their beloved ballads roots for a nice intimate
charasmatic approach to their music and listeners.

They wish to thank everyone for all they've done in the past year!
Thank you so much to all of their friends, fans and family
for the ongoing support. Your continued graciousness
is very much appreciated, and the new friends they've made
give them pause to be so humbly grateful.
 

Robin and Lori have
some delightful news
on their music page.
Please click the link
above, to read it,
on the song titled,
"The Inner Voice"
 

Saturday November 18th, 2006
We hosted our own wonderful
screening of the movie

honored to have the Director himself,
Andrew Shapter as a guest for Q&A!

Our humble little screening had some
incredible audience participation
welcoming Andrew to our event,

and added their much appreciated
input and questions, you made
the whole thing worth while~

Special thanks to Andrew Shapter

In order of appearance:

Derek Trucks (guitar)
Willie Weeks (bass)

Eric Clapton (guitar / vocals)
Steve Jordan (drums)
Chris Stainton (keyboards)
Tim Carmon (keyboards)

~~~~

BOSTON 2006:
This shot will always be a really cool moment for Robin.
(Even if they were to end up knowing each other very well in the future, 
this will always be a time to remember, the so-called "Kodak Moment"):

As the lights got out of Doyle's eyes, he spotted Robin down front...
Immediately responding in recognition, Doyle's eyebrows rose and he nodded to Robin, 
stepped forward closer to his monitor speaker (which was about 5 feet away from Robin),
and began to play right to him for a bit,  exchanging some nods and smiles
as the two finallymet eye to eye....

('bout damn time man.... hehehe)

Doyle showed Robin some techniques for their common playing method, on the fly
which was ended way too soon, when security discovered Robin wasnt in his proper seat..

;)  (yeah.... oops....hahaha)

Thanks Doyle, you were gracious to do that, and Robin really appreciated it very much.
(Long overdue to see ya like that man....)

Even though it was a very brief moment in time, An unforseen bonus was that someone
took that picture as luck would have it!- Thanks so much to Josh Barber for that 
awesome shot capturing that moment in time, and this one too:

(Derek {red guitar} is an excellent add to the band, that dude can do some serious slide action!)

 
 

Croc Hunter -Steve Irwin :
A loss felt around the world
September 4th, 2006 

Waking up this morning to hear the tragic news of Steve Irwin
dying from a freak accidental death from a stingray, 
we are at a loss for words....

Long-time fans of this charismatic man and his family and friends
at the Australia Zoo, Lori and I are deeply saddened today.
Not surprisingly, we cannot even get through to their website:
http://www.crocodilehunter.com/  we figure the site's server is
pretty bogged down with folks like us trying to express support.

So we are just simply adding this news for now as we read up on
the details and watch the news.
Steve's work for conservation and his dedication to wildlife, as
well as his enthusiastic approach to everything in life has been
an inspiration we can all take lessons from.

Our heartfelt sympathy to his family, friends and coworkers.
We are with you in solidarity and spirit. Steve will be strongly
missed and we thank God for giving him to the world, may his
spirit live on and blossom in all of our hearts to inspire us to follow
in his footsteps to take care of mother earth.
We hope that everyone involved with the Zoo can continue on
with their very important work in the days to come...
Terri, Bindi Bob, Steve's best mate -Wes, and all the gang at the Australia Zoo,
you've touched our hearts over the years, please hang in there
and know that our thoughts and hearts are with you.
In solidarity,
-Lori and Robin Lull-
 
 
 
 

August/September 2006
Studio is finished!
go to our pics pages to see
some nice shots.
Bindlestiff and HeartFire
are currently practicing up
to get crackin~!

------------------------------

May/June/July 2006

PROJECTS UPDATES:
Happily the busy beavers, Lori and Robin have added a
much-needed outdoor shed which enabled them to
finally start on the conversion of their garage to their 
long-awaited home studio.

Along with that, they have joined up with some very talented
and fun bandmates, and are currently working on setlists and originals 
for the projects listed below.

------------------------------

March/April 2006

NEW GUESTBOOK:
The guestbook still looks close to what it was, but is no longer
automated for spamming morons to abuse to oblivion.

Please send your hellos and we will actually be able to see them 
and post them without them getting buried in spam. Yaaaay!
Thanks Mr. Webmaster!

------------------------------

CURRENT PROJECTS:
Keeping the eclectic idea in mind, they want to cover all their bases with a variety of 
projects to fulfill musical desires and also support the needs of the venues they play in:

This should make for an ever-evolving, fun experience with multiple musicians.

We've found a couple of well seasoned eclectic drummers,  3 guitarists, 
a saxaphone player, and a mandolin player who should round out the mix quite nicely.

We are also looking for various musicians with talents in 
percussion,  wind, and stringed instruments. Keep the inquiries coming!

***To our neighboring fellow musicians near the upper valley area of NH/VT
who may interested, please feel free to give us a shout ***

------------------------------

We are also having a lot of fun with new friends on myspace.com,
where it looks like the new home for musicians of all kinds
as well as friends, family and fans. 
A welcome change to what myspace was dealing with a while ago.. 'nuff said!

We have had the pleasure of meeting so much wonderful talent on myspace,
new and old. Messaging with everyone from family and friends, to some
very famous musicians!
 Our thanks to our friends on myspace who are gracious enough
to take the time to say hello and show solidarity and support, 
we appreciate you reaching out!
 

Moving Forward, January/February 2006

Formerly known from their work with the Spectris Band,
most of the music they helped create with Spectris stays with that band, but 
they will always feel proud of everything they had accomplished for, and with Spectris.

They will have more of their own music very soon and say it's a wonderful feeling
to be at this point their lives, happy and at peace. They wish to thank all of their friends,
fans and family for so much support. The emails, talks, phone calls, and messages
have been very gracious and kind, God bless~

Lori loves to play piano, classically trained, she still enjoys playing the classics and 
of course the ballads and music with with Robin who sings and plays bass guitar in the 
leftyupsidedown way that often turns heads and raises eyebrows. His vocals have been
compared to a blend of U2's Bono, with Lenny Kravitz and Pat Monahan of Train.

Having eclectic hearts, Lori and Robin have met people from all over the world, 
making friends in every walk of life. So they can usually relate to just about anyone
who puts their best foot forward.
To them, music is all about bringing people together, as it could very well be
the language of the spirit, and they really enjoy making music with a fun and broad perspective.

-----------------------------

They want to share the following words, that they feel show some wonderful insight on music:

..." the very most important thing to remember is that music is meant to be fun, 
and make you happy, and make others happy. If you lose that, you've lost it all.
I think that music is a gift. It belongs to no one. It just flows through us if we let it. 
Success and all the rest of it are just by-products of the love for music. 
That's all I know. ( or think I know)...."

--Tommy Shannon- Bassist for SRV/DoubleTrouble, Storyville, and The Arc Angels 
 

Lori and Robin couldn't agree more. 
 

PAST BLASTS

Mid July 2005
Lori and Robin had the pleasure of
meeting Mac Rebennack who is 
known better as the legendary
DR JOHN

When the good Dr. and his touring band-
The Lower 911 came to Hanover, NH to play,
they  performed wonderfully and were very gracious hosts,
as they did a meet-and-greet with Lori and Robin backstage
after the show to hang out for a while. 
They met guitarist John Fohl
who was nice and briefly said hi but had to excuse 
himself gracefully to a prior commitment, as the conversation
started with  Dr. John, 
drummer Herman “Roscoe” Ernest III, 
and bassist-  David Barard. 
They talked with the Dr. about a few things including his
awesome song that appeared on the Double Trouble
tribute album to Stevie Ray Vaughan. Robin felt that even
though he was very gracious to chat, it looked like the Doctor
was tired and possibly feeling under the weather so
they kept things light and quick and gave the Dr. some
elbow room and took a walk with him, and continued on
with David on the walk to have a fun conversation about the 
basses they play, gigs, and etc. It continued to a local "watering hole"
as planned to meet up with Herman and the fellow who is
(we believe) the touring manager (forgive us for
not mentioning his name. Will try to track that down).
Herman and David have been known in the industry
for many years and have very impressive histories
that you can check out online.

This day meant a lot to the duo of Robin and Lori
as they will more than likely be covering some of
the Dr's amazing music in their act and one must-do
tune is the one mentioned earlier, on Double Trouble's
album, it's called, "There's No One Like You".

Their wholehearted thanks and best wishes go to
these wonderful and legendary musicians who took the
time to visit with Lori and Robin, their musicianship
and gracious character showed through and made
it a very special evening. God bless.
 

Winter/Spring 2005
Lori and Rob saw 
Robert Randolph and the Family Band

in Hanover, NH
and were pleased to meet Robert
and Marcus before the show during 
setup and sound check. Thanks for
the chat and all our best to you  guys!
 

 February 10, 2005
Lori and Robin were very
happy to see Leon Russell


when he played in Lebanon, NH
and signed a few things on that cold
and wintery night before retiring in
his tour bus at the end of the night,
where Robin had a brief but very nice
conversation with the bassist who was
touring with Leon.
Leon Russell's music is another source of inspiration
for Lori and Robin in their act and they may also
cover some of his material.

cool evening, to top it all off,
we had the wonderful pleasure of an
incredible and heart-felt chat with the
legendary, down-to-earth,
JOEY MOLLAND
YEAH! A member of BADFINGER!
Joey seemed to really enjoy the SPECTRIS setlist,
and especially the Pink Floyd cover at the end
which was apparent via his comments afterwards-
"YEAH! THE FLOYD, THE FLOYD!.."
Right on, Joey, So glad you liked it ;)

We must also sincerely compliment Joey. 
Our hearts were so deeply touched by his
taking the time to make such decent,
and candid conversation before he went
onstage, and then for sticking around to hear
our entire gig as well... WOW.
What a genuinely nice, person~
Joey, God Bless, and thanks so much,
