Welcome back to you all. I’m fresh back from Daytona Bike Week 2010. Now you may think Florida this year is much like Florida was in the past. Let me tell you it was not. Yeah I know you all got two feet of snow but you live here and we deal with it all the time. When you go on vacation, you hope for vacation type weather. Well friends it did not happen. The weather was in the 50's the entire week and if you didn't have a windshield the wind would burn your face like toast. Not what one would expect but you deal with what you got. I was scraping windows every morning, and that was just not right - not in Florida.
The one cool thing was the night of the storm we were all gathered at the Oasis ( a biker bar) in St. Augustine, watching the weather channel and jammin' to the band. (Those Guys) It was something to see, Jim Cantore standing in front of the Super Eight Motel on old Front Street doing a live report. So we were with you all in sprit.
The other thing I'd like to mention is "live music" - you guys don't know how lucky you are to have so much live music and venues to choose from just mere minutes from where you live and work every week. This does not exist in many other parts of the country and as times get harder and the alcohol prices increase along with the laws, the venues like ours could gone forever - just like that. So, Support your local musicians, they are a very important piece of "our" culture and heritage in the Triple-Cities.
On to the Shows: Saturday night at the Central Hotel it was a busy venue with many new faces. DD was out of town on family business, so that put myself on Bass and Wally Jo Webster on drums. It was a fun show as we had some rockin' moments that night for sure. You had to be there to truly understand this point
We also introduced the 2010 Short Change Band calendar that night. ($10 gets a beautiful piece of hand crafted work with many hard to find- un-seen live photo's of the band and many of our fans- groupies – friends) Nice piece of work Robin! The band thanks you.
This Friday Night we’re at Davy's in downtown Chenango Forks. The show starts at 9pm....Come one come all!
Saturday Night- we're coming to Stinky Boys Country- to rock Susquehanna P.A at the Susquehanna Moose Lodge. Everyone is welcome. It sounds like a Biker Party Weekend to me!
And finally- this week in rock and roll History is as follows:
Peter Wolf - lead vocalist of the J. Geils Band is 64
Grand Funk Railroad Releases - 'Closer to Home" album- 1970
Brad Delp lead vocalist of the band Boston commits suicide in 2007
Be well, be safe, be you
Peace: Mikee^ Dee
