Let me start right from the beginning to say: Look for us at www.shortchangeband.com. All right, we had several people asking how to reach us this last weekend, and this is the best way that I know.
We had a great “late night” on Friday night up to Lumpy's Roadhouse in West Oneonta. We enjoyed great food and good friends, listening to a bit of music. Also, there was an intense song writing (lyrics) contest going on at table #3, inspired by none other than the “Jason Wicks Band” - priceless. Dean you Rock buddy!
Saturday night we were back up to the Central Hotel for another great evening of music. This time we were the suppliers of it. It was good to see some of old friends that have not ventured out to one of shows in quite some time. That's when you know spring fever is amongst us. Also that full moon on Saturday night was the biggest (closest) to the earth in something like eighteen years. (It was quite the site to see both Friday and Saturday night)
We started off the evening at the Hotel with some really “moldy” old outlaw country and by the second set KW strapped on the Strat and we were off and running. We also had some friends drop by and sit in for a few. Patty and Jeff Moat from the “Pawn Shop” and also a former member of the Short Change Band, Phil McDaniel came up to sing and play couple songs on the bass.
It was a fun night and we would like to thank you all for performing as well as attending the show. What a great party! Also, I have to say one thing, In between sets we always have the honor of previewing new music that is currently being played on the radio and the internet. You can call me a dinosaur or something, but I just can't handle some of this new music – rap, etc. It makes me feel good to know that my collection of over a thousand songs from the 70’s and 80’s classic rock albums are truly my salvation. And, like I said earlier, there really hasn't been a true rock produced album in probably twenty years now. (Sad)
I can remember my older brother was caught up in his 50's and 60's music and I thought he was a dinosaur as well back when I was a kid. But you know now I think whatever generation of music you grow up with as a kid and into adulthood is what you call your “Forte”. So, with that being said, it's really all relative I guess. But it doesn't mean I have to like it. I can probably settle in on about a dozen or two songs of new music per year that I really like and it's funny, most of them are songs that copy the classics of Rock and Roll anyway.
That's today's history lesson, now on to this weekend:
We're back home to Davy's Last Chance Saloon this Friday night in downtown Chenango ForksThe show starts at 9pm.
And then Saturday night we're back up to Annie’s Bar & Grill on old Rt. 17 in Windsor.The show begins at 9pm.
We hope to see you all soon and have a safe week as we have not one, but two snow events planned for this SPRING WEEK.
Peace,
Mikee^Dee
