Well hello to you all. Here's a quick addition of this week's Blog. After running around crazy for the last few weeks it is now time to take a week off from playin' out. The following week is sure to be crazy once more as we hit it again hard with one show on Friday night and two shows on Saturday. So our rest is short lived. We almost had 4 shows.....
The final count with the Jamboree was over 300 people in attendance and that helped us to raise $2,235 that we proudly handed into our local Afton food pantry. We were also glad that we could make a difference in helping to feed needy families in our own communit y and I'm sure that we achieved that goal. Thanks again to you all and especially Dominick, Ty and our fellow Abate brothers and sisters Saturday up to the food pantry.
Look for the photos and the Press Release, complete with thank you's on our website as soon as they are posted. We hope to make this event even better next year.
Saturday Night's show up to the Central Hotel started out a bit slower than usual, not to mention it was 84 degrees on Saturday and that could have contributed to the light attendance. When you go from Winter on Monday, complete with snow on Tuesday, to 84 degrees on Saturday, it's bound to throw anyone's internal thermostat for a loop. As the night went on the crowd got a bit more rowdy and we never did get to pack up the show till we played the better part of 5 hours. Now that's entertainment for ya, huh? We played stuff we haven't played in years and we played stuff we never played before and by the time it was all said and done we even played almost all of the (soon to be recorded) songs from album #5...
Special thanks to our musical guests, Herb and Dominick. The night was good. Oh and let's not forget Jim as well...
Lets back up. we just finished album #4 and that is all packaged and ready to go. You can pick up the much anticipated Full Circle CD the next time you see us. We had 15 musicians on this album with a run time of 45 minutes.
It actually is quite good even if I say so myself. The reviews are coming in quite positive. It's worth the 10 bucks for sure. Some of the best stuff we've done to date, with the help of our friends - cool huh?
In closing, our next show is May 14th at the infamous Hitchin' Post, atop of Belden Hill. Our special guest for this show will be Wally Jo Webster. DD will be out of town on assignment. The show begins at 8:30 pm, we hope to see you all then....
Peace,
Mikee Dee^^
