Well hello to you all. Wow, it's Easter week already! The first quarter of 2010 is history already, where does time go?

I have a lot of news to share in this weeks blog so let's move right along.

The Full Circle album continues to move along. As I stated last week we only have a few more cuts left to finish. This week being Easter Week doesn't look too promising but maybe soon there after. And hey, you can't rush perfection so relax.

On to the Show review, we were at Gordy's Place last Saturday night. I gotta tell ya this, Pat and Jim are two of the most upright people you would ever want to meet.
They treat so well down there, how can you not put on a good show? You're treated like family there. The wings once again were fantastic. What a way to start the night out huh? With our bellies full and a couple of cold ones, we started out what was to become a rather sweet show. Once again we powered it all up through the P.A. (much like the week before) We had great results, good sound and people can still think while you are playing.

We had a good crowd and everybody seemed to be having a good time. We must have played at least 15 of our originals that night too. KW even brought another fresh tune to the show that we never played before and once again, it was pure magic.
The rush you get from those type of "off the cuff" tunes are priceless and we generally do them so well.

So on to Sunday, we had the big Jamboree staff meeting up to the Central Hotel. We all wanted to meet with the security guys, the owner as well as the sound guy and review the days events. We are hoping this turns out to be one fantastic afternoon of music makin' fun raisin' this side of the triple cities.

Put April 25th at high noon on your calendar. There will be six bands with open pickin', raffles, 50/50's and good food. You just can't beat it, trust me. They will be selling chicken barbeque dinners as well. Admission is $5 to get in, that's to watch all six bands and the jamboree. Everything else is for sale so bring along some cash and maybe you'll win some great door prizes too.

Help us make our second annual Run for Chow "Share the Music and Feed The People" a success once again.

This weekend we're at Fiddlers Tavern in Conklin, so that's the place to be. The show starts around 9pm on Saturday. I was just down here last weekend to see our friends the Blue J's and the newly remodeled bar is quite nice. We will have all the bells and whistles this weekend so come out and see us.

This week in Rock And Roll History:
The Beatles hold the top 5 singles on the Billboard 100 this week in 1964:
Lesley Gore makes her fist appearance on American Bandstand this week in 1963- {Played Tioga Downs here last weekend}47 yrs. later (wow!)
Eric Clapton turns 65:

Hey gotta run, so be good have fun and if we don't see you all this Saturday night at Fiddlers
have a happy and safe Easter Weekend!

Peace,
