Short Change Band - Beginning of June, 2012

Well hello to all and welcome to the month of June.  My goodness where is the year going?  Before you know it the year will be half over.  I think the older we get the faster they go by (Don’t they)
I just returned back from a quick tour on the motorcycle today.  A group of us went to the 13th annual “Thunder in Forge" motorcycle event in Old Forge, NY.  It was a continuation in the Support of our Wounded Warriors. [Military families]

This event has been running for the last thirteen years and Coors Beer is a national sponsor.  The Wounded Warriors were the focus of this year’s event, so we picked a great year to attend, especially for such a worthwhile cause.

The weather was rainy and cold for the most part and I think that had a lot to do with the light attendance numbers. But that did not stop us from having a great time.  Check out myself with Dr. Mike in the picture above.  What a character he was!  We actually partied both Friday and Saturday together.  You meet so many cool veterans at these events.  I love it!  (They’re good people)  This was a picture of us hanging out at the local Veterans Legion in the town of Webb on Saturday.

On Sunday we headed over to Warrensburg/Lake George for the start of “Americade”.  One can only take so much “wetness” and by Monday morning we were ready to make the journey home in the rain once again.  Not to mention I had some equipment malfunctions with Elmo so the both of limped home so to speak. But we made it back all safe and sound.

I'm (so) done with the wet-ass riding thing for a while (I can tell you that much) It was nice to get in that dry truck.  It felt good yesterday for the first time in four days.

This week’s schedule for the band is as follows:

Friday Night we venture back over the state lines to The Hallstead American Legion The show time is 8pm.  And as always no cover and take advantage of the great legion drink prices too.


Saturday we’re at Annie's Place on Old Rt. 17 in Windsor/Damascus for an early show and Golf Tournament Party.  The show time is 2pm.  All our fans are welcome to stop in.

Have a great week and we hope to see you all out and about this weekend.

Peace,

Mikee^^Dee
