Short Change Band

Greetings everyone.  It’s great to be fresh back from Bike Week at Daytona and return to a fantastic weekend of musical venues.

Friday evening we were at Birtchy's Place on Conklin Road in Binghamton.  That was the beginning of our weekend of packed houses.  It was a great show with a lot of great people and a fun filled evening for sure.  It’s always a good feeling to see people appreciating the band and the music we play.  I’d like to send special thanks to all of our Frito Lay friends for stopping by and saying hello, not to mention a few selections on the bass with "magic fingers Herb” in the second set.  Thanks Herbie for sitting in with us.

On Saturday we played at the "Sickler Family Benefit".   We all arrived at the River Club around 1:00pm and it was a good thing we arrived when we did as you can see from the picture I shared from behind my drum kit at about 4:00pm, because the place was packed.

There were over 600 dinners served that day and we dare say as many as 800 people may have supported the event in total.  It was an Incredible turnout and truly the biggest indoor fundraiser we’ve played as a solo act in a good many years.

Our deepest condolences go out to the family for all that they have endured with the loss of Mike here last month.  We were glad we could help out for a great cause and nice people.

This weekend we have one show: Friday Night at the Hitchin' Post - on Belden Hill, Rt.7.  The show begins 9:00pm.

And finally, it’s a mere four weeks until one of the biggest days of musical performances begins.  Please mark your calendar for Saturday April 27^th.  It’s the 5th annual "SHARE THE MUSIC / FEED THE PEOPLE Jamboree at our new location at The Coventry Fire Hall.  The price is the same as last year - $12 for a day of entertainment by six of the area’s best musical acts.  Food and drinks will be available,  50-50 Raffles,  auctions, and a car show  and motorcycle show.  Bring the whole family, we can't wait.

The show begins at 1:00pm.  We’ll see you at the crossroads of Rt.206 and Rt. 235 on April 27^th.

Have a great Easter and God Bless everyone.  We hope to see you all very soon.

Peace,

Mikee Dee^^
