MY IPOD TOUCH Is Making Me Crazy!
March 15th, 2011OK the thing to do is to upgrade each time Apple comes out with a new OS. But then the stupid ipod will not upgrade until it goes into restore mode effectively killing off all previous content.Then it upgrades and then it is empty! I’m not happy with this! Not at all!
We’re Looking Into Recording Again!
February 18th, 2011
Due to the great fun and success of the Oswald And The Herringbones Reunion Show and Steve’s Birthday Party, we are looking into recording some more of our material for you.
There is a thought floating around out there that we would post the tunes once a month or let you our friends vote on which tunes we record.
It used to be very expensive to go into the studio and lay down tracks but now we all have our own studios in a box pretty much and we can do this without great cost.
Anyway, keep checking back and we will let you know what is being done. Our hope is to capture the energy and sense of the band rather than just cranking stuff out. So it should be pretty fun this time around.
God bless you all!

We are really looking forward to the reunion gig at Ruby Tuesday’s Night Club (1978 Summit St. Columbus, Ohio) on Friday January 28th!
I think we will go on about 9 or 9:30 PM with an all acoustic set of Havener And Barone tunes with Mr. Boyer and Mr. Sims sitting in for spice. Then at 10PM Oswald And The Herringbones will hit the stage with a 45-50 minute set. We may take a break to say hello to everyone and go back on around 11PM for another 45-50 minute set.
We have invited a relatively new band called The Divide to close out the night for us at 12:15 AM with their great tunes. 
We hope to see everyone out there for the fun and excitement!
BE THERE!
Michael

OATH at Band Practice @ 2007 Scroll Down To See Us!
November 5th, 2010
This video click here, is us (Oswald And The Herringbones) practicing for a gig in 2007. We were at the Spruce Street Studios in downtown Columbus, Ohio (owned by a friend of Neal’s named “Chip”). Chip was very kind to us, and let us do a quick gig there the following night. This is the night before the actual gig so we were just taking it easy. Don’t expect too much of a show because no one is there but us. Mike McGraner was kind enough to film this archival footage for us so I thought I would post it showing with us with our hair down (so to say). Mike McGraner is doing some excellent work with Fritz The Nite Owl. You should check his stuff out on Facebook at: http://www.facebook.com/mikemcgraner
Anyway we will be gearing up for the big January 2011 OATH Reunion Gig so get ready!
God bless you all!

Oswald And The Herringbones “What Does This Mean?”
October 14th, 2010
Click Here to see the video of What Does This Mean? By Oswald And The Herringbones – Live At Presley’s
Ok this is Oswald And The Herringbones “What Does This Mean?” which would be a perfect theme song for “CSI Chicago” if they ever get around to doing it!
What I love best about this video is the way Neal and I almost seem to fly in between the verses. Was I ever that springy, and was I ever that young? If I tried that now I’d probably be knocked unconscious by my own love handles and gut! Tomorrow I start the diet so I thin out by the reunion gig! (yeah sure!) I also really liked that shirt I had on. Steve Neri or Andy Christian once told me it kept moving even when I stopped. I picked it up for like 25 cents at a First community Church garage sale. It was an old lady shirt. But hey, wasn’t androgyny in back then???? LOL!
Hope you all enjoy it.

OSWALD AND THE HERRINGBONES REUNION 2011
September 30th, 2010
Hello UA class of 1979 and all friends of the band. We are working hard to pull together a great show for you in January. Right now I’m posting lots of old “Oswald And The Herringbones Live” shows in case you are not familiar with our music. You can find the tunes and download them free at the blue links on the right side of this page —->
Anything that says OATH is also Oswald And The Herringbones. I’ll be posting about 8 or nine more “Live” gigs soon. Each one is a little different and even though we repeat many of the tunes from show to show, there are usually a few new or stray ones which are not on each set list.
Please remember these are all old “board mixes” from shows in the Big Eighties, which means they are not professionally produced they were just taped (yes, on cassettes, remember those?) directly off the sound board at some of our live concerts.
I hope you enjoy listening to them as much as we had fun playing them back then. The January Reunion Gig will be posted as soon as we know the venue.
God bless you all, and thanks for thinking of us!
Michael A. Barone
