SAUCE BOSS RIDES AGAIN
OK, so I shouldn't have eaten those pork rinds in
Homestead. You got me on that one. So what's up now?
Gumbo lite? Easy listening? Meditation sessions before
the show? Tofu recipes? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I don't think so. Although I will be watching my intake
of bad things, I'll still make the gumbo, and I'll
still Rock n Roll. I promise.
Here's the skinny on upcoming
events. Eastern Shores of Virginia Blue Crab Fest,
Sand Dollar, Ocala Bike Rally, Quebec and more.
WE HAVE NOW SERVED OVER
100,000 BOWLS OF GUMBO FOR FREE since New Year's
Eve 1989. I started out slowly--cutting the ingredients
while I was playing and cooking them in a little electric
cooker. Now I'm using huge pots which can serve over
150 people at a time. If you have never stirred the
gumbo pot, come on and do it! Just remember--it's
hot, it's hot, it's hot!
TOO HOT TO COOK?

The guy in the window stretching and twirling noodles
into existence, tipped the scales. I was a goner.
I couldn't take it anymore. I was hongry. Forget the
low carb diet, I walked forty miles that day. What
a great find! Homemade dumplings and noodles, crabs
and fish swimming in the tank, "I'll take that
one" along with a plethera of other chinese dishes,
all at super good prices.
NEWS
FROM PLANET GUMBO
In between a busy schedule, developing a new BBQ sauce,
and also marathon recording sessions for a new Sauce
Boss CD, and oh yeah, don't forget about the quadruple
by-pass surgery, I've found time to hang with my peeps.
I'm talkin' bout folks-men, women, and children who
are a little down on their luck, but they still have
a right to live even if they don't have a PLACE to
live. I have played my music and cooked my gumbo,
and brought a message of hope to the homeless populations
in Orlando, Hollywood, Tallahassee, and Jacksonville,
Florida. Me and Majic John, and Big Jim took the Good
Time Gumbo Revival to Lancaster, Pennsylvania on May
15, 2003, where we not only fed the clients of the
Crispus Attucks shelter, but also Lancaster County
comissioners. Also, we garnered serious press. The
day after the gig on the front page of the Lancaster
Intelligencer Journal was the lead article with color
pictures of the band playing and an eight year old
kid grinning ear to ear while stirrin the gumbo! That
picture puts a face on a faceless problem. This is
a child who through no fault of his own is cast into
this situation. We are working hard to change the
misconceptions about who the homeless are. At the
same time we are reaching across (not down) to these
folks with respect, not pity. We are talking WITH
them, not TO them. We are looking them in the eye
and we are sharing our time together and it has been
the most rewarding thing I have ever done. We've seen
case workers with tears of joy in their eyes. I have
seen schizophrenics, who never interact with anyone,
stirring the pot and talking with animation to all.
I've seen families without homes, children and parents
laughing and shouting with glee. I've seen hardened
faces soften their eyes, and crack a big grin. I have
seen a miracle. You
can too
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH
for the good vibes and prayers during my recent illness.
I know that it helped in my recovery. I know it helped
a lot. I'll be seein' ya down the road.
Love, Bill "The Sauce
Boss" Wharton
