Hello all, yes it was a great weekend to pay your respects to all of solders who served this great country past and present. It was also a time to catch up on a bit of R&R , so I hope you got to do a little of both.
The weather could not have been better for anything you had planned to do outdoors. Priceless!
It was also a pretty mellow weekend for the band,as well. We did one show on Sunday up to the Central Hotel and if you missed that one you missed a good one.
It was outdoors and you could not have asked for a nicer day to play out in the open air. The crowd was a bit lighter then in the past but holiday weekends tend to be like that. With the economy (the way it is) many people I think just got out of Dodge for the Holiday weekend.
That didn't stop the show from going on and we played our asses off to the ones that came to party. A special thanks once again for Jeff and Patty stepping up and doing a few tunes with us. "Life was good today". Upon conclusion of the Central Hotel Tour, we headed north up to Fosters and his outside party for a bit of Music Trivia around the campfire with a couple of cold ones. We're pretty good with those 50's and 60's tunes and titles, and little foot notes. Thanks goodness for DD's IPhone to help us with those hard to guess tunes. It helps keep your mind sharp, sometimes the whiskey just isn't enough.
So on to this weekend. On Friday Night were at the Afton Inn for a 8:30pm show and then on to Annie's Bar & Grill for another show Saturday that begins at 8:00 pm. Another busy weekend for the band. So, pick a show and come on out and see us, or better yet - try to do both! We'll see you there.
On to this weeks in "Rock and Roll History"
Gary Lewis and the Playboys release their follow up to this Diamond Ring' with "Save Your Heart For Me" this week in 1965
The Beatles begin to put down tracks for the infamous "White Album" this week in 1968.
Ray Davies flies back to England to re-record their newest single 'Lola.
The BBC refused to play the tune with the words "Coka-Cola" thus the "Sweet Cherry Cola" line was used as the substitute. {The Beatles had the same issue with their single a year earlier "Come Together" but they won their plea and the line remained} A far cry form some of the issues we share in tunes lyrics today.
In closing have a great week hope to see you all out to the shows this week.
Be well,
Mikee^^Dee
P.S. If you see Chopper this week, wish her a Happy Birthday!
And it's mere days now to the Final DeBetto' Fest - Block out the 19th on your calendars.....
