Well Happy New year everyone, as we enter into another brand new year. The true start of the next decade as well - 2011. I hope everyone's Christmas and New Years went well as ours sure did and last Friday night we fired the SCB machine up for the beginning of another season of music.It was our first gig of the year at Annie's in Windsor. We had an interesting start to the day picking up about 5 inches of snow in the hills, but by band time it was clear enough to set the machine into motion. It was 2 degrees outside but it was pretty hot inside. It had been three weeks since we played a single note together, but it was like we never missed a beat. The boys were jonesin’ and it showed. The crowd was remarkably good for such a poor weather filled day that was more than we had expected. We even had the infamous Annie Mills herself come up and do a number with the band. Yes, life was good today. It was good to see some of our old friends again as well. Thank you for showing us the support.
Saturday was another interesting show as this one was in support of a family that had lost their young child in a motor vehicle accident that took place back in late November. We were glad we could help out and try and raise some money and show our support. The benefit was well received and contributions and door prizes given for raffles were awesome.We would like to thank Patty, Jeff, and our newest friend Steve G. for making the trip down to Nineveh on such short notice and perform for the benefit. The event could not have been the success it was without the help of Bobby and Chopper from the Central, Donnie, Tammy, Theresa and Hailey, Rob not to mention the family who also contributed all of their hard work and efforts as well.And myself, I would like to thank my brothers in arms - Kevin and Darrell for their support as well as our wives who help make the efforts we put forth so worthwhile. And, like Kevin says "it's what we are and what we do, we give back" -perfectly said.
Oh, and now I know the true meaning of what a Chinese auction really is , thank you Darrell.There are no scheduled shows this week as we once again head back into studio #2 in Candor to continue working on "Back to Basics".
Loves ya and I’ll see you next week,
Mikee^^Dee
