   About Ron Bertrand
Thanks for visiting my MySpace page. It's been a really exciting year for both myself and the GUMBOLIMBO record label. The new CD, "Tequila Tonight, Tomorrow We Ride!" has become very popular among those who enjoy folk rock music with a tropical theme. Several of the songs have made it to Top Twenty. The upcoming year 2010 should be fantastic! The title track of this CD has been selected to be included in a compilation CD being produced by "MEET THE PHLOCKERS". The proceeds from the sale of this CD will go to MDA. Also I have recently been selected by "BOOKBAG SANTA INC." to be their "official" musician to accompany them to Belize for a charitable cause. Each year they bring a musician with them to entertain school children and perform at some of the local beach bars. I consider it an honor to be a part of this organization and will do my best to help them achieve a highly successful year. For more information about Bookbag Santa please visit their website ... www.bookbagsanta.com ... you may be interested in helping this organization send school supplies to children in Belize. Sincerely, Ron Bertrand ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DO YOU NEED TO ESCAPE TO THE ISLANDS? THE VIDEOS BELOW ARE FROM MY CDs: "TEQUILA TONIGHT, TOMORROW WE RIDE!" AND "WHAT WE BELIZE IN". IT'S ALL ABOUT BEING IN A TROPICAL STATE OF MIND AND THINKING BOAT DRINKS AT THE TIKI BAR INSTEAD OF WORKIN' NINE TO FIVE EVERYDAY. SO GET YOURSELF A NICE DRINK AND ENJOY THE TROPICAL SCENES... TIME TO START LIVING ON "ISLAND TIME!"

Hi Ron!

Thanks for sending the "On This Christmas Eve" video. That's one of my favorite songs. Makes me want to go sailing again!! (I always want to go sailing though!)

Do you have a sailboat? Is that your inspiration?

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey ron - great video!  I'm headed to do the Angels In Tropical Shirts Cancer Benefit this weekend.  Pre-Event Happy Hour Friday night and Main Event on Saturday.  This year we're in Gun Barrel City on Cedar Creek Lake.  Wish you could be here, it's gonna be really great!  I'll try to call you in a few days or so - for that much needed "catch up" you requested!       - Scotty Lee

Hey Bruddah - You will always be in my Top 40. You really rock! Loved the video from Beaumont and I wish I coulda been dere, too! I just hate that we live so far apart...we really need to do some jammin' mon! Let me know if anyting breaks loose on a gig up your way in the summer or fall. Just keep my August/early September schedule in mind when you plan.

BTW, would you be interested in playing a benefit in Little Rock in the future, should sumpin' come up? Probably no pay but we can crash with friends.

Gumbo Ron, I do think you are in near-need of a victim advocate! Yikes! If not the cats, all those wenches might do ya in! At least now you can count me in your brood!
Picture will be forth-coming, of course, and not as Petunia...I always honor my victim's wishes.
Glad you're my friend! It's been fun getting to know you! lol

Hey Ron,
Glad you like my songs. The guitar in the picture where I'm wearing the pink tank was a Takamine, not mine though, so I can't tell you anymore. The guitar you hear in the songs is mine--it's a Taylor 614CE and I love it! Great acoustic/electric guitar and fun to play. If you look in my pix section and click on the picture with the bird you'll see more pix come up and see the guitar.

Hey GumboRon!
I wish those were my horses! Rooster is the horse of a friend. He is a BEAUTY!!!! Cheyanne was a horse in Pelham, AL at the Oak Mt. Park. I love horses...one day intend on having a bunch. Thanks again for adding me!!...there is just something great about a Friday, listening to Buffett, eating pizza, and talking to new friends!!! Like the commercial says....it don't get any better than this! Oh, and working when I feel like it..shhhh don't tell my boss.
