Well hello everybody. We have an incredible week ahead of us and much to cover so I'm going to get right to it.
Saturday night's show up to the Afton Inn was nothing short of fabulous. Two weeks and two shows in a row with great results. We played - we jammed- we played some more. Nice job Dominic taking us out of the second set on the drums.
We saw a ton of familiar faces once again, and that always makes it all worth while in the end.
On to Sunday we were back into the studio for our final trip this go around. Our 4th album "FULL CIRCLE" is complete and now in the hands of the packagers. Whoppee...Nice Job Dean!
It contains 12 great tunes with a run time of about 45 mins. We had 15 musicians who gave their all to help make this the great piece of music that it is. People say you need to leave your mark though each generation, and this is our Footprint that we hope will help support that concept.
Just reading the reflection that KW includes on every album we make, says it all!
We about hocked our gear to pay for it all this time around as this is our most expensive project to date. There probably won't be to many discounts on this bad boy, but $10 is by no means an outrageous price to ask for so much talent. So be kind to the cause when buying your copy. Get one for a friend too.
Moving ahead to this Friday night, we're back up to Davy's Last Chance Saloon, located in downtown Chenango Forks. The show begins at 9pm. We hope to see there. Let's go for three hot shows in a row!
Now on to the Jamboree - We have all been working diligently here for the better part or 2 months in preparation to this Sunday's "FEED THE PEOPLE AND SHARE THE MUSIC Jamboree. It will begin at 12:00 noon at the Central Hotel & Tavern in Nineveh. Now you can either read about this historic event or be there to witness it first hand.
I was thinking about the concept of the Jamboree yesterday on the way home from work. All the first generation people who have instilled their passion unto to us, to help others through music. The Bucky Moons, The Ben Shackeltons, The Charlie Sherman's of the music world of the past. The jamboree concept Of pickin' an grinnin' all together to help support a common a cause. Young and old alike sharing one stage as we pass down this concept of jammin' between 20 or 30 musician's for one afternoon of music. It makes me crazy with excitement just thinking of it.
The goal here is to have an effective event that is two fold, a great show as well as raising money to help feed the people in and out our local community. These are people you know, kids that go to school with your kids. Almost 1000 kids meals alone were served just last year alone. When I heard that the pantry distributed over 22,000 meals for the year 2009 - I said OMG... how can you not be moved to help neighbors with the single most important need in their lives- FOOD.
So with this in mind, this is the drive that will bring this group of 50 of us together this Sunday to succeed in that very goal.. Help Supply money to purchase Meals and food for the less fortunate.
Other than that, we hope to see you all there. If you miss that day, you miss alot. Oh in closing if you wish to just make a donation in lieu of a visit. Please make your check out THE AFTON FOOD BANK, and mail it to my PO Box and I will surely add it to the what we collect on Sunday
