What is normally a typically "Sunny Arizona" day turned out to be cold and overcast.
So it was perfect a day for a drive to Phoenix in the JT Reno funbus.

Ah yes the big city...Phoenix, No secret here,
JT is stunned with the big city way of life!
Here you can see the look of .."pleasure"
on his face as we circle the parking complex
for the third time..........looking
for a single parking spot.

JT decides to park outside the parking garage
Here he's pointing to our destination
Yup the big shiny skyscraper ov'r yonder.

Tant nuttin' like this back on the ranch

J.T. leading the way

Success, we found it!

Erich, the host of the radio show
Here he is showing the guest(s) a seat
It was a full house for the 2 hour program

J.T. awaits instruction before the broadcast

Sound Engineer, Gil, lets us know
it time for a sound check.

Check, Check, 1,2,3 and away we go.

Erich organizes his notes before the interview

Ouch that's gonna leave a mark on that
beautiful Martin Guitar....Oooohhhhh

Erich launches the show off with an original song
All about J.T.'s hero
John Wayne

The song wraps up and Erich
introduces J.T. Reno

Another joke by Erich
leaves JT searchin' for a comeback

Listening intently and calculating his response
J.T. brags on his great band...The House of Stone "

Being wacky over the airwaves
Some things never change!?!

The studio audience teases J.T.
he sounds just like Charlie Sheen
when they close their eyes

J.T. shows off Erich's great marketing tool
Bottled water with his business cards attached!
Cool~

Introducing Howdumdooya

Erich listens keenly
as Lights of Home plays
over the air & in the studio.

Talking about his good friend, Toby Newnum

Erich introduces; The Two Inside
off the CD "Lights of Home"

Listening with his "good" ear?!?

A little refreshment during the commerical break

Congratulations on our CD from some
of the studio audience in attendance

Time to wrap up the interview with J.T.
and move onto other guests
THANK YOU!! Erich

Jim Whitford interviews with Erich
they talk about his songwriting skills

Guests getting ready to play musical chairs
in the studio, during commerical break

The program continues

Keith Patrick kicks off the
next segment of ArizonaMusicCafe

Keith Patrick takes a turn at the mic
he sings his heart out.

Sean's Mullaney turn to play and seranade the fans on air

Sean belts out a phenominal tune

Erich asks Harley about what he's been up to
since his last visit

Harley announces his upcoming gig
He is opening for James Otto this weekend!
Congrats Harley...

This song is a winner....
a girl like you, a boy like me. 
All about girl parts and boy thoughts,
A must hear song!!

My OH My how 2 hours flew by
Time for Erich to wrap up the show.

We came, we parked
we found the suite, we met new folks
we interviewed, we sang,
we talked, we conquered!!

This really has nothing to do with anything...I just really wanted to use this picture!

Thanks to the staff at KKNT for your hospitality
it was great ~ Until we meet again!

Tonight is special because we are filming
for our submission to a reality show
about Country Western Bands

Thank you to all our fans who showed up for the filming on such short notice!

Stone slows things down a bit
with a silky ballad "The Chair"

Good Job Stone,
the dancers fell for the bait
Our first dancers of the evening!

The band is feeling the music
and dancing to the beat.
Remember boys, it's all fun and
games until someone gets hurt.

Oopsee Doodle.... An accidental "goose"
with the neck of Did'r's bass
leaves J.T. a little miffed.

(read this slowly in your deepest voice possible)
"Sooorreeey J.T."
Who could stay mad at Did'r?
We love him so!

All is forgiven.....
J.T. & Did'r are as close
as two peas in a pod !

It's time to get this party in gear and really kick things up a notch.

Happy Birthday Heather!
We are honored you decided to celebrate with us.
Here she is kicking up her heels
to the catchy tunes of J.T. Reno

This teeny tiny dance floor is filled to the max

These gals break the ice and start groovin
to "Lingered" off our CD "Lights of Home"

Fast dance or slow these folks
know good music when they hear it!

Alittle "Mustang Sally" brings out
the newly dubbed
"Steak Out" line dancers

Here, Karen is movin' to the groovin!!
She is such a shy soul.....
we really hope she opens up someday.

The fun continues even on the outdoor patio area.
This restaurant is fantastic!
The food is out of this world..
The staff is professional and courteous
Not to mention the music-'taint too bad!

Leveticus J changes the beat as we switch to a crowd favorite

J.T.  asked the audience for some help
singing "Sweet Home Alabama"
Karen stepped up to the challenge
You go girl!

"The Two Inside" a song off our CD
keeps Leveticus J focused on the special effects

J.T. Reno singing the Drifter

Come and check it out!

Tanya & Donna keeping an eye out for
photo opportunities

Break time for the band
Break time for the dancers

Enough rest, enough soda
lets pick this up where we left off.

Do you suppose this buffalo
even in his wildest dreams would of imagined
he would one day be watching
J.T. Reno & the House of Stone perform at The Steak Out??

Adoring Fans from afar..Aunt Shirely
came all the way from Kansas to watch J.T.

J.T. Reno introducing the members of The House of Stone

I love this photo...Drink it in.
This is such raw emotion-
The look of a man
doing what he loves to do!!

One last song before we call it a night

Thank you to Jolene & Mike for asking us to play at the Steak Out
We were honored to be your first full band and break in that dancing floor.
We will see you again next week- Hope to see all our fans there as well!

J.T. Reno is glowing
next to his number one fan...
J.T.'s Dad

Love is infectious
and the kissing bug continued into the audience

So many great couples came out
to celebrate their Valentines
at Montgomerys!

Love was in the air

J.T. Reno & the House of Stone set the tone...
The food was; great
The decorations; festive
Fun was in abundance!!

Singing "Can't you See" brings the couples to the dance floor

"Hug your honey" tunes sung by J.T. Reno
promoted an opportunity to hold
your loved one tight

Singing the Country Western ditty,
"Keep your hands to yourself"
J.T. emphasizes to Did'r Z
"Keep your hands to yourself"

Did'r lets J.T. know his sights arent set on him
He has his mind on hugging his own honey....

Did'r hugging his honey??

Busted

Stone sings his heart out...trying to
go to his "happy place" and forget
that close call with Did'r

The music continues and so does the fun

Hitting some sweet harmonies
on Sweet Home Alabama
-a crowd favorite!

This music automatically makes your feet
gravitate to the dance floor.

Smiles, more smiles
and even some more smiles
were seen everywhere!

So my question is.....
With all these gorgeous girls
here at Montgomery’s on Valentines
Where are all you eligible guys?

All eyes are forward watching the
fun on the dance floor

We know we are doing our job
when we look out
and this is what we see!!

Look how much fun you missed
by not joining us a Montgomerys.

Stone takes off on one of his
Crazy Fanstastic guitar leads

J.T. sharing his big European hit
"Howdumdooya" off our CD
with the folks at Montgomerys

So nice, to see some of our regular fans, attending our different gigs around town!

Did'r & J.T.
put their own twist on dancing
"cheek to cheek"

Leviticus J keeping the beat and hopefully
those sticks will keep Did'r Z at bay!

Leviticus J holds up a
"warning" stick to Did'r Z

Here Did'r Z moves away from
Leviticus J and onto a table of fans
Whats about to happen is anybodys guess...
But those smiles tell it all!

Next thing we know they are all out on the dance floor.

working up a sweat on the dance floor

time for a break to rest up for the next song

Leviticus J keeping an eye out on Did'r Z's where abouts

Teamwork brings out the best
in this band

The songs continue with
J.T. singing a little old tune called
Mustang Sally

Here are some of the diners at Montgomerys
they got the best of both worlds...
Great food while listening to great music!

Montgomery's was filled to the gills
with folks experiencing the music of
J.T. Reno & the House of Stone

Here's our CD winner for the evening...
He recieved a free "Lights of Home" CD 
All for guessing who originally sung
Our "mystery" song.

"The Two Inside"
a song off the CD
"Lights of Home"

To think we get paid
to have this much fun!!
Ain't life Grand!

Stone keeping rythm to J.T.'s vocals

Who's ready to party?! Well the folks at Montgomerys sure were.
Thanks so much to our fans and
our host Montgomerys for a Valentines Day to remember

This has nothing to do with anything....
but too good not to share!!

DOUBLE CLICK ON THIS PHOTO
TO GET A GOOD VIEW
Gotta wonder where Mom was?!?

A big thank you to KIIM-FM
for their LIVE remote at the Steak Out
on Wednesday night.

Hey I know that guy.....
it's Porkchop from KIIM-FM!
Here he is posing with his good friend,
J.T. and the gang!
 

Here is Jolene, co-manager of the Steak Out
trying her luck on the KIIM-FM slot machine

A Winner! KIIM-Fm provided
all sorts of goodies
- gift certificates, cards, keychains, trinkets
for those trying their luck with the slot machine.

Thanks to the boys for warming up the crowd.
Great job guys, love the fiddlin' !!!

Time to get down to business here
and have some serious fun!

J.T. scans the room to make sure all signs are present....

I see big smiles..........

I see intense gazes.....

I am witnessing toe tapping.....

J.T. double checks with Stones demeanor,
Yup, his eyes are starting to closed in intense concentration....

The boys group up for a power play
Wait for it.....wait for it.......

Leveticus J, just smiles -
he knows what's about to happen too....

(and so early in the evening, this is a risky move
but J.T. is confident it will work)
He pulls out his ace in the hole...
and kicks it into gear with "A Good time to Pray"
off our CD-"Lights of Home"

"There's a blonde haired girl in a red corvette
she pulls along my side,
With a glance I know......"

YUP! Knew it was going to happen...
First dancers out on the floor
and now there's no turning back!

Once that first brave couple
breaks the ice
the rest soon follow.

Fast, slow at this point the tempo
doesn't really matter.....
It's all good music from here on out
As J.T. Reno & the House of Stone
do what they love to do!

Some how, some way,
J.T. Reno & the House of Stone put your feet
on auto-pilot and there's no way
you can remain seated with all
this toe tappin' tunes titillating your tootsies

Dancing outside on the outdoor patio
proved to be the perfect combination
of a perfect Southern Arizona evening
and a crowd who appreciates good music!

Ahhh.... another beautiful evening
in Southern Arizona. 

Let's take a little break from all that dancing
and try our luck on the KIIM-FM slot....

No bells & whistles for J.T.
Here Stone crosses his fingers
and gives it a whirl....

Could it be?!?!?!
Nope, didnt get Squat.

Maybe Leviticus J will have better luck?

No luck for Leviticus
No luck for Stone
No luck for J.T.
So it's up to you Did'r Z........

No luck for Did'r either
Perhaps David?

Nope, no luck for Sharon either.
Enough of this distraction....
Let's go back inside
where there is some boot kickin'
going on..........

Betty & Shirely are by far
J.T. Reno's number ONE fans!!

The Steak Out "T-Bone steak"
is beyond compare,so how about a little
"Blueberry Blues" for dessert?!

All eyes are on Stone as he
takes off on a crazy-insane lead......

"The Two Inside" showcases
Did'r Z's magic on the bass

"HowDumDooya"
keeps Leviticus J on his toes

how about some classic rock?
Hmmmm Let's try a little
Three Dog Night tune!

Remember this old country classic?
"Take the ribbons from your hair...."

ahhhh......
Those sweet, sweet soothing
harmonies on an audience favorite
"SilverWings"

Time for the title track off our CD
"Lights of Home"

Stone sings a little George Strait
by request.

J.T. sings a new one called
"The Drifter"

Darn it, it's that time already
My how time flies!
here the band is saying goodnight
much to the disappointment of the audience.

The band agrees to do ONE more song
Under the condition someone from the
audience comes up and joins them.

A Little "Sweet Home Alabama"
always gets some audience participation going
These are were pretty good singers to boot!

Please check back again for photos
of tomorrow nights performance at The Steak Out

(Our Grandson - "Deacon Danger Espinosa")
Looks just like Grandpa!

How was Crystal Palace ????
Here is a hint about our weekend.....
The bartenders climbed up on the bar
for an impromptu dance because there was
no room on the floor!
 

I don't care who you are:
when the staff starts to dance on the bar
THAT'S a compliment!
 

Here is our youngest fan
in Tombstone named Owen
He recognized us from our posters!
What a compliment for us!!
 

Owens' little sis..Elouise
taking time out to pose with
J.T. Reno & the House of Stone
Look @ that Cutie!
(no Did'r not talking 'bout you!)

J.T. Reno & the House of Stone

J.T. Reno kicks off the weekend
with a boot kickin' diddy

All eyes are on the band
Looking forward to the next tune
These guys are visiting from Canada!

Didn't take long before the dance floor
heated up with action!

Blues never sounded so good
as when it is sung by J.T. Reno

The band is rocking out to a
catchy little tune off the CD
called "Good Time to Pray"

Hey I've seen these folks before...
Shirely, Betty & Jim took a roadtrip
to see their favorite singer!

The crowd at the Crystal Palace
just continued - all night long!

Leviticus J wants YOU...
to come see this Arizona sensation
called - J.T. Reno & the House of Stone!

J.T. concentrating on the
chords for a new song they added
into the rotation "Blue on Black"

Celeste, bar manager at the Crystal Palace,
can't pass up an opportunity to
take her break out on the dance floor!!

Breaktime for the band
a quick 15 minute intermission
before the action really kicks in.

Leviticus J taking some time out
signing autographs

Stone throws a riddle out to the guys...
What type of bud never blooms?

Did'r Z is multi tasking.....
Thinkin' hard 'bout that there riddle
AND
playing bass at the same time!
Hmmmmm

This is Stone - giving a hint

J.T. poses the question
"Howdumdooya" think I am?

Who is this well dressed couple?
they sure knew their way around the dance floor!
What fun they were!!

Stand back everyone;
there was intense
twirling and whirling going on
at the Crystal Palace this Night!!

Leveticus J hits the last beat of the evening and we head off for a few hours of sleep before we do it all over again tomorrow night.

Ahhhhh Day 2 of our J.T. Reno funbus adventure
A couple of refreshing hours of sleep.and
Saturday morning finds J.T. switching out shirts
Stretching and yawning
to the break of the morning sunlight.

A tall frosty glass of DIET COKE
chocked full of caffeine and vitamins!
(ok we know it has no vitamins, but
it makes us feel so much better to think that.
So, in reality if it makes us feel better it
really is like a vitamin Right?)

Look, those Diet Coke vitamins are working already!
J.T. is smiling and it's not even 9:00am yet!

the Diet Coke has made Tanya's cheeks rosy
and the puffiness is starting to fade....
Diet Coke IS a miracle drug!

Look at the ill effects of shunning
our miracle elixir....Diet Coke.
It is close to noon on Saturday "morning"
Stone is dealing with the effects of drinking "other" liquids
This is Stone's famous "One Eye Jack" pose.
This pose tells it all - it means....
tough night, got to bed a few hours ago, Did'r made me do it!

Everyone naturally has different personalities
Same is true on the road....As a reminder -
Here is Did'r Z on any typical given day.

Here is Did'r Z after a couple of hours of sleep
and FAR too much "networking" for the sake of the band!
Even Diet Coke can't help in this situation!
HE ACTUALLY LOOKS GREEN!!!

J.T. did his part to "stimulate" the economy
in Tombstone. In this local hattery,
J.T. models his new hat with the shopkeeper.

J.T. lookin' dapper in his new hat

Time to kick off another evening at the Crystal Palace
Did'r has recovered - all is good with
the J.T. Reno funbus again!

A hug your honey tune sung by J.T.
brings the dancers out immediately

What a gift this band has.
They do what they love to do AND it brings
couples closer together.  We are blessed.

Who is that handsome man??
None other than J.T.'s dad - Jim!

Picking the pace up a bit
These line dancers really knew there stuff!

We were so happy to return to the Crystal Palace
and see our friends from the last time we played there
This couple is by far the most fun to watch dance -
they can dance to it ALL!

Stone thrills the crowd with a classic rock tune
by 3 Dog Night!

Here is the winner of our song contest
Yup this lucky filly won a free CD
"Lights of Home" featuring many of the
original songs sung by the band tonight!

Here J.T. introduces the band
after singing the title track off the CD
"Lights of Home"

Time to start up again after a quick break
just waiting on the "overhead" music to be turned off.

Those line dancers are keeping perfect rhythm to any tune the band throws at them
Amazing- it reminds me of a flight of birds one turns and the rest turn in a graceful unity
 

All eyes toward Did'r
as each of them take a turn at a lead
in this song.

Time for Did'r to strut his stuff
he really gives a stellar show
as he rips up his bass lead !

Time for Levitcus to take a shot
at lead on this song.

Stone takes a turn on lead
as J.T. backs him up on the acoustic guitar
as we wrap up our weekend in Tombstone.

Our job here is done... 2 nights of bootkickin' fun
Stone takes a well deserved rest before
we pack up the J.T. Reno funbus for the night.
Oh yeah The answer to the riddle
Human Taste Buds!
interesting facts-
Total number of human taste buds (tongue, palate, cheeks) = 10,000
Fish can taste with their fins and tail as well as their mouth.

As mentioned on our previous pictures of Tombstone
this really is the town "too tough to die"
those mysterious ORBS are back again in our photos.
Take a close look at the following pictures

Another interesting occurrence we encountered
during our performance(s) at the Crystal Palace
Our sound knobs on our equipment
would mysteriously reset themselves.
Not once, not twice but multiple times during our show(s).

This picture is ....
A. Did'r Z having a thought?!?
B. A gas bubble picked up by our night vision camera
C. A really large Orb has fallen in love with Did'r Z?!

Take a look at these little guys
floating all around the room.
Who came blame 'em.  They know
good music when they hear it too!

If the answer to the question above was "B"
Then Stone is in a world on hurtin' tonight.

Thank you SO VERY MUCH
for visiting our website and keeping tabs on our band. 
We are blessed by your support
and hope to met you ALL in person someday!!
                J & T
