My goodness, July snuck right up on us didn't it? It's July and it's hot and it's dry, but it’s my kind of summer shaping up here. There’s a big difference from last summer’s monsoon type weather.
Anyway let’s get on to last week’s review. We only did one show last weekend and it was on America’s Birthday no less. We started the morning out with the band playing some golf and then an awesome cookout complete with beers and then on to a great show down to the Central Hotel. Priceless*
We had four-piece that day as the infamous Jeffery “A” was in town and decided to jam a bit with us. Outside shows are always a blast too and the weather was perfect and the crowd was good and the beers and whiskey were cold. Hey Lynn, thanks for the round of Jacks for us! The band always appreciates some good iced whiskey on a hot summer day.
The show went well and we also want to thank Lil' Stevie for coming up and sitting in for a few tunes as well. (Just like one big happy family)
So on to this weekend: Saturday we have two shows planned and both are outdoors. The Colesville Super Celebration in Harpursville is first as the show begins at 2:00 p.m. Then we’re on to a private party up to Lisa Gibson’s house. (Do you remember Lisa? She was the winner of our free show - winner of 2009) So this weekend we are paying up (so to speak)
And real quick note as we close here. We have been selling numerous copies of the new album and now we are setting our sites on to a couple of new venues. We began putting together a "Greatest Hits" type of a compilation for the next release and we hope to call this collection simply “5 Years of Change”. It kind of says it all doesn't it? We hope to have this all put together by early fall. We really have to go through all of the material selected and remember to give credits to all of the musicians and people involved (and there were many) The album will also track about 70 minutes as it will contain at least 20 songs. Even if you have all four of our albums you will still like to have a copy of this bad boy, it flows really nice, and it's mostly all up tempo selections.
And then as we move into the later fall as we had talked about doing another completely new album that we would release for early spring of 2011. KW has been writing up a storm this year and we all have so much to say. KW really has his “A” game going on this next set of tunes, but I don't want to let the cat out the bag so to speak so soon.
So that's what's new in our Crib. We hope all is well and we are hoping to see you all this weekend.
Peace- be well- be safe-
