Hi everyone, this is KW filling in for Mikee Dee.
Wow, the weekends continue to be awesome as summer is winding down and we’re headed into Labor Day.
Let’s get to it and start with August 7th where we were at none other than “Wild Bill Hare’s” party. This is one of our favorites. How can you not like a party where the host says “Okay guys, take a break – it’s time for some whiskey”. Bill is one of those who likes Jack as much as we do. So much, he left half a suitcase of clothes in Aruba so he could bring back the biggest bottle of Jack I’ve ever seen. (Awesome!) We had Nick Allen from the “Hats Off Band” help us on the drums and Lance Trotter played a couple songs on the bass and helped with the vocals. Great Job Guys! After the show we went down to the fire pit for more beer, whiskey, marshmallows and some good conversation. Unfortunately, I wasn’t feeling too well – I took a microphone to the face earlier, and didn’t stay too long. (Sorry Bill – Next time brother)
Moving on to August 14th and Ahner’s Pig Roast. It’s always a good time. We’ve been playing this party for over 20 Years. You know we have a good time here! Once again it was a gorgeous day. DD and I started the afternoon with a golf tournament at Belden Hill. We finished the golf tournament and went straight to the party (we didn’t have time to stay for dinner or the door prizes – We hope Herb got us some good prizes) Filling in for Mike this time was Kip Kettle. We’re glad to call him a friend. That’s the way it is in the music business, it brings people together close that fast. What a great job Kip did for never even hearing us before. It was like he had been playing with us for years. Thanks again Kip!
As always, the food was excellent; our hosts (Butch and Cindy) have the absolute best fireworks show. What can I tell you? This is one of the premiere parties of the summer. Thanks to Tim Whalen for singing a couple songs too!
We’re glad Mike is back and hope he and his lovely wife Andrea had a great time at Sturgis. Although we had fun, we missed him. The three of us just have great chemistry when we play. So now it’s off to Watkins Glen and the Yacht Party.
Our Greatest Hits CD is out and you can get one at any of our shows. We’re back in the studio for the recording of the next album this fall. The title of the next album is “Back to Basics” We hope you’ll love it as we once again cover all styles of music, including sarcasm.
So, as Mike would say – “Peace Out” and enjoy life. Remember the words of “The Welfare Song” – “Why work when you can get it for free!”
See you at the next show,
KW
