Our percussion section.

In the beginning of our busiest summer gigging season ever, we had our latest drummer quit the band.  He left without notice, leaving us with a full playing schedule and no drums.  Well, like many things, this turned out to be a blessing in disguise.  At nearly every show we had people coming up and playing an assortment of percussion with us.  Drums, congas, bongos, tambourine, spoons, maracas and more and it's been a blast!!!  Some of the best times we've had playing.



Thank you Steve, Billy, Charlie and everyone else who have been jamming with us!!! Good times!

American Legion Post 153, Pig Roast, 6/25/11



The pig roast at the Legion was a lot of fun for us.  Lots of great food and drink and people enjoying our music.  After greatly enjoying the BBQ I remembered why I don't eat right before singing in a show.  Let's just say singing and eating don't go well together!...lol.

We were Presented by Cavalucci Construction and we want to thank them for their support.




 A bunch of folks from the Legion came up and played percussion with us.  Tambourine, Billy Back on spoons (seen above) and even hot dog tongs.  It was a blast and very funny! Live video to be posted soon from this gig. 


We'll be playing at Backstreet in Blauvelt this Sat. 7/9/11.  Come on out and enjoy the show with us!

Brady's 6/18/11, Requests for Our Troops and for Clarence Clemons.


 
On Saturday we implemented what I call  "Requests for Our Troops" Folks usually make a request or two to the band and put a couple bucks in the jar.  So I have decided to do something a bit different. All the money we receive for requests is donated to veteran causes like the Wounded Warrior Project or the Fisher House.  Thank you to everyone that was so generous on Saturday!  This will be a standard fixture at our shows.




I had a fantastic time at Brady's. Once again  a great crowed showed up.  Folks were singing, dancing and even playing a little percussion with us. 



No applause, just throw money! Who is this guy?  Perhaps our new percussionist?  The job is open if you want it!

This show is dedicated to the Big Man, Clarence Clemons.  Thanks for doing what you did!


We will be at the American Legion in Park Ridge on June 25th and at Backstreet in Blauvelt on July 9th.
