Well greetings everyone.  We have almost reached the half way point of 2013 and my goodness time flies.  We had a big week last and another big week coming this weekend as well with graduations and parties.

So let's hit last week's events:  Friday night we were at the Gretchen Wilson at Tioga Downs.  we had a great time and we also had great weather which made for a fun evening under the stars track side.  Gretchen put on a great show for about seventy minutes, but I think most of the older people in the crowd thought they were going to see a shy little Gretchen Wilson like her music portrays, but instead you would think Joan Jett was there with her "I love Rock and Roll" tour.  Oh well, everybody has to find the sound that works for them and it seems old school country is not hers.

Saturday night we were at the Central Hotel.  It was a funny night there as the crowd really didn't show up until later in the evening.  It still turned out to be a fun evening for all.

Sunday we actually had a three hour practice and put together another six or so songs that we will add to the set list.  Sometimes it's nice when you can leave everything set up and just play the next day.  Thanks Bobby for putting up with us two days in a row.

We have one show this week due to graduation weekend and DeBetto Fest:  This Thursday night it's  Bike Night at the Hitchin' Post we will be playing live out on the deck.  The special is Can's an Clams.  Showtime is 6:00pm.  Stop by and see all the bikes and say "hi" to the band.

Have a great week and enjoy our summer weather break.  It's gonna be nice here through the weekend, so get out and ride!

Salute - Peace and love,

Hello everybody, it's almost that time again - DeBetto Fest #8 is next week. (Wow,  like where does the time go?)  In true Fest Fashion it's been raining all week and hopefully by next weekend it will be as nice as this weekend is supposed to be. I'll keep my fingers crossed just in case.  But we've been there before. (ugh)

On to the Reviews:  Last week's show at Birtchy's Joint' was one hot show performance. We came out of the box hot and stayed that way the entire evening. We had a lot of compliments and lot's of business cards changed hands that night.  That's when you know things were exceptionally good.

This week we have one show:  We're back for our monthly "Yee-Haw" party at the Central Hotel & Tavern on Oak Hill Road, Nineveh, NY.  The Showtime is 7pm.  Come back out and kick a little dust up.  We would love to see all again.

Also, this Friday we're off to see another Outlaw of Country Music - Gretchen Wilson.  Now I'd almost pay to see her, but free tickets are going to seal this deal.

So with that, we'll see you all soon my "Redneck Friends".

Peace and Love as always,

Greetings everyone.  It feels good to get back to the main land once more. We had some pretty decent weather this year up at Thunder in the Forge. We rode in honor this time for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl of the U.S. Army.  He was taken hostage back in 2009 in Afghanistan.  He's only 23.  (it's such a shame)

The overall event  this year was a bit scratchy as they lost their national sponsor the week before the event took place.  Americade Started a day earlier so the vendors also jumped ship for Lake
George.  It's not the notable memory it once was.  Hopefully somebody will take it over and make it "The Wounded Warriors " event the  type of event it should be.  That in my eyes eliminates all the competition. Our men and women serving this country at least deserve that much respect.  There's no better place than the quietness of Old Forge, NY.  

The show last week at the Post for Bike Night was fun and the weather was perfect and with the help of Jeffery A made it a show to remember. Thanks Jeff for stopping by and playing some Mandolin, and to all of friends that showed up for the show.

This week we have one show: Birtchy's Joint on Conklin Ave. in Binghamton.  Please stop down for some of those great wings they serve up.  We're there Friday evening at 8:00pm.  And hey it's gonna rain Friday night so this is the place to be.  As the old saying goes "Rainy Days are indeed Tavern Days"

And hey - have a great week and we'll see all very soon.  

Peace and love,

Mikee^Dee
