Greetings Everyone, I hope this week’s installation finds you all well and good. We are entering the high side of summer and before you know it (it will be gone). So get out and get all of the things done you've been putting off until now because changes are not far off. There’s just four more weeks until fall will be here. (Ugh!) Enough already!
Hey I have to share this real quick here. I bought a little 4x4 pickup over the summer and one of the things it had was a kick ass cassette deck (do you remember cassette decks?) Well anyway I had to dig through the garage this week and low and behold I found some tapes I had recorded back from college radio days WSCC. Anyway, the rock and roll we listened to thirty five years ago is much different than the same 40 tunes that the WHALE plays over and over. I'm like a kid under a Christmas tree this week with 90 minutes of real Rock and Roll done the way I WOULD SPIN them back in the mid 70's! (Ahh life is good)
Also this week - Are you ready for some football? Not my favorite choice of teams but the conclusion is so noted. The only true good thing about fall is “FOOTBALL”. Okay, now on to business.
Last week we took a truck load out to Tioga Downs to see Wynonna Judd. Let me say this, I’ve always been a fan (not a huge one but I had to wonder why an artist with two gold greatest hits albums and five single CD’s released to her credit would dwell on covers by Stevie Ray Vaughn, Elvis and Foreigner. But it was what it was... enough said. Oh and she loves to talk (my goodness the poor band) they would begin a song and play the same notes for ten minutes! (wow)
Saturday's show: Butch and Cindy Ahner’s Pig Roast was an awesome party with heavy attendance this year. It was good to see a lot of old friends once again. We even had a special guest that evening – “Violet” a cute little girl that had written her own song about raining candy and performed it live over the microphone with no music. Taylor Swift move over you got competition very soon here girl.
And on the grown up side we also had “Cliffy” sit in for the night and played some hot smokin leads right alongside K.W. We rocked Saturday night as it was an evening of "making music" with my friends. (Thanks Cliffy for helping out)
On to this weekend: We have two shows:
Friday 8/19 - Dino's Bar & Grill in Conklin - outside under the stars – the show begins 8:30 pm
Saturday 8/20 – The Central Hotel & Tavern - outside under the pavilion – the show begins 4:00 pm.
Well that wraps up this week, oh and as we close, I would like to thank all of the vendors and staff peoples that came out last Saturday for little Andy's benefit in Endwell. I’d like to give special thanks to “Rise” and “Pawn Shop” and HT for supplying music and food, and to you - the people who supported the cause.
As always – peace,
Mikee^Dee
