Greetings everyone. It was so nice to take a week off from the music world and do some traveling. The Short Change Band members were in three different parts of the United States last week. Pictured is a shot from Newport Beach, California. The wife and I headed out for a quick visit last week to see family.
The Winters Family headed south to Greenville, South Carolina for some family obligations too and Double D went to Syracuse to see Darius Rucker and Rodney Atkins in concert. We all arrived back safe and sound and now we look forward to this week’s shows.
We have two performances on tap for this week’s venues.
FRIDAY EVENING- Oct. 14th – The Hitchin' Post - Belden Hill- show time 8:30 pm.
SATURDAY EVENING- Oct. 15th- we return once again to Gordy’s Place in downtown Damascus show time 8pm.
Two early shows and we are looking forward to seeing some old friends and perhaps some new ones as well.
And finally, before we sign off here, I'd like to make a couple quick comments about my California trip last week. This was my first trip to the big state and my first impression of the area was that the overall area of Southern California is vast in size and offers a beauty all to it’s own, the fuel prices out there were identical to ours, and actually a bit cheaper in some areas. There is a Taco stand or Mexican food joint on every corner which is actually quite convenient if you like that type of food. People drive the highways and freeways out there much like people drive on the [LIE] on Long Island as they truck along about 80 mph and nobody bothers you either. Oh and when it rains, which six months of the year it does not, you would think it was treated like a snowstorm back here. With the rain we have here no one would ever travel if they had to deal with it as much as we do - every week no less.
California is a vast state that takes up the mass of probably the area between Pennsylvania to about Georgia. What an incredible state that has about everything and anything anyone could want or need, but I don't see myself leaving the Sothern Tier anytime too soon to move to it. And after now seeing both oceans - the Atlantic as well as the Pacific- I'm thinking I am leaning more towards the Atlantic for beauty. (that's just my opinion - to each their own)
I don't even want to mention the plane travel as that's another whole story for another day. All I can say is as a traveler of plane flights - about every few years- travel has not gotten any better and as the passenger and you're pretty much held at bay once you climb aboard.
I can't wait to return my trip survey to the airlines, as they asked for my opinion. Oh Boy...
In closing, I hope to see you all out this weekend at the shows!
Be safe, be well, be good, as always, it’s good to be back,
