Short Change Band - October Weekend

Shows Friday Night- The Hitchin' Post, Belden Hill - 8:30pm – 11:30pm
Saturday Night- VFW Endicott (Open to the Public) - 9pm- to 1am

Well hello to all. Friday night (10/08) we were at Dino's in Binghamton. It was our first show indoors at Dino’s and it went over quite well. There were quite a few people who ventured in an out the entire evening as we brought out the “stripped down” acoustic show one more time. I think at this point we pretty much have perfected the "acoustic show' concept. We originally had all the instruments wired directly to the board. That was just a bit too hot for the board, so now we're back to the amps, but ever so gentle.

Saturday was also a great day as we finished out our golf season for what will most likely be the last showing of the clubs for this year. And it's good thing, I really hate the game and I do suck at it. I still don't rightly understand the concept of whacking a ball a couple hundred yards at a time and then tapping it into a hole ever so gently. Easier said than done. Maybe it's just the whiskey that makes it fun. DD and I did enjoy that, and the good weather.

So as the day progressed between golf and music. There is always time for a scoot ride. Yeah, me and the bride took a little bike ride through the back roads of Chenango County.

I am so sadden by all of the little businesses that are no longer open as well as the repair shops, markets, and deli's. That is just some of the signs of people in a small town that are no longer there. It would be a welcome site too. So sad of what New York has become. A simple landfill with Malls, Wall-Mart’s and Price Choppers. But the 80 mile back roads ride was fun.

So then came Sunday and the infamous 10/10/10 date! And the “Alan and Bonnie Knapp” wedding. Once again we pulled the acoustic set out and brought it to the hall in Sidney for over 100 guests. I was amazed at all the people present for a Sunday indoor wedding. Check out the photo of us with our Bartender for the event. Nice Job Heather! So for the next four hours we played, we greeted and played some more. Not too much whiskey, but just enough. Thank you Alan and Bonnie for being so thoughtful. It's those special little touches that really count.
And as soon as it started it was over. It was the end of the weekend.

We hope you all enjoyed your Columbus Day weekend as we all surely did. Next Sunday we're back in the studio to begin work on our next album appropriately titled "Back to Basics”.

We’ll see you all down the road.

Short, Sweet, & Simple. Peace,

Mikee^^Dee
