Greetings to you all once again. We now entered into the second half of 2011, "like a snowball headed straight to hell" as the “Hag” would say. Here's hoping that everyone had a safe and relaxing Independence Day Weekend. I could not have asked for a more fulfilling weekend. I had “kinfolk” visit all the way from South Carolina and let me tell you this: “they will go home with some stories to tell about us country boys here in the north”. Nobody has a clue as to what we do here on the weekend in the Triple Cities, but we can stand alongside the best of them.
We began the weekend with the 3rd annual SCB golf tournament at Belden Hill. We had a terrific day with warm weather, and our group played quite well. We only got the golf carts stuck in the mud once and K.W. came about as close as anyone can come to a hole in one. It was a great day for the crew! Then we celebrated with some pizza and beers and then we were off to Fosters for the first of several 4th of July parties.
We truly opened the eyes of our southern kinfolk as we spent the better part of fifteen minutes climbing hills and mud holes to get to “Fosterville”. The family was also amazed at the waterfall and gravel pit and some of the beautiful camping areas at the “ville”.
Then we moved on to “Markieville” directly down the road and visited with some other friends from the Jersey shore area. It was a great day!
On to Sunday and the Central Hotel show. Once again we brought the family out to see the better part of five hours of Country Rock under the pavilion. They also got to sample an awesome Chicken barbeque. (A Central Hotel staple)
The weather that day was also tricky. We were at odds all day as to whether we play indoors or out. Of course we never learn from our past mistakes, so we played outside.
Everything was going fine until the skies opened up at about 6:30 pm. It rained so hard and so fast that my drum kit was mere inches from rushing ankle deep water moving at a rapid rate. And when it all ended so did the power. Now most bands would have packed up their shit and called it a night, but not this band. (Check out the photo of the acoustic/percussion jam that followed for the better part of an hour. (Thanks for Jeffrey A, Meredith, and our buddy Jim for helping us out with some great performances)
This is how we roll. When we powered back up, we played for another hour at no extra charge I might add.So as the evening came to a close and Sunday arrived , our friends from the south headed out - but not before hitting “Grandmas” Restaurant for some nice upstate home cookin’ before the long trip south began.
Yes the weekend was a great, me and momma even took the scoots out that afternoon and rode for about 75 miles through the hills of the northlands. Yes, "Life was good today"
So now on to the shows for the week:
