Well another fabulous weekend has now come and gone. Along with all the music, the weather - yes, the weather was 65 degrees and sunny for the third week in March! (Priceless) I hope this is the beginning of what is to come for this spring and summer. I wanna Ride..........
Friday night we were up to the Hitchin' Post and we had a mellow evening that really didn't go anywhere. The sound system was a bit off and DD had a guitar blowout so that pre-set the stage for the evening. It's amazing what the little things can do. But the night wasn't a total write-off as there some very positive moments as well. By having some of these sound issues we were able to take the system to the next level the following day.
Saturday we were at Mary's Tavern (Benefit for TY) It was less than 10 hours after the first show of the weekend, and we began another. This time we put all the instruments through the sound board and we went total electric with no amps. The sound was perfect (not too loud, not too wimpy) but just right. So it really was a learning curve for us as this may be the new "acoustic" blend we were looking for all along.
So, this Saturday (just to be sure) we are going to try it all over again up to Gordy's Place in Windsor this Saturday night beginning at 8pm.
Anyway, (back to the benefit) what a great time we all had. The M.C. clubs from as far away as Buffalo came all the way down to show support to a brother in need. There were over 200 people who attended that day. Nice Job Ty jr. and all of your crew, you sure know how to put on a party. (Dad will be proud) Also, a special thanks to Bobby and his band Half Baked for letting us come up and jam a bit too. (Making good music is really what it's all about my friends) Ego's are a musician's worst enemy remember that.
So, from the benefit we went off to Markie Marks birthday party for some Beers and Pizza, not to mention some Rumba (but we won't go into that today) As we moved on from there we still had one more stop as we headed out to Fiddler's Tavern in Conklin to see our buddies "The Blue J's". What a great show and the perfect ending for a day that had alot of mileage to it. Wow!
Then Sunday came and once more, we were back to the studio to continue work on the Full Circle CD. I can say now that we are about 82.4% complete. KW, DD and I spent some time with our producer to review the song mixes. There are five more cuts left to get mixed, then we will be done. And like I always say, "it's the best work we've done to date" We did manage to take home the (7) songs that have been mixed, so we do have some songs to demo. If you're real nice to KW and DD they may just play some of it for you.
So now on to this weekend (Saturday Night) we're at Gordy's Place in Windsor. The show begins at 8pm. We hope you can make it early as they have some of the best wings in the triple cities and they are very reasonable.
This Week in Rock And Roll History;

Be well Be good and I hope to see you all on Saturday night up to Gordy's ... Ohh and it's a mere 13 more weeks till the final Debetto Fest.. More details to follow.
Mark your calendars early.
Peace,
