Hi gang!

Last week’s Tuesday night CMC Jam at Bullfrog’s was fun, in spite of a weather-induced light crowd. Braving the elements to join me and hosts Uncle Steve Smith and Drew Doman were jammers Dale Bally, Insomniac Joe, Doug Bowen, Ron ‘Papa J’ Jackson, Sammy Free, Mike Bally, Greg McGill, Don Lydon, Dan Elliott, Tom King, Hayden Frosti, and Bob Laeng, and our music loving friends Joe, Michelle, Ted, Vince, Cheryl, Vern, Alyssa, Effie, the Dancing Marilyns and the rest of the ‘Frog faithful. Thank to all of you and to our good friends at Dirty Town Guitar and Amps for their continued support of CMC Jam and other events around town.

Friday night’s weather wasn’t ideal either, but Shady Drive’s Aces show was a blast with Sandy, Ken, Kelly, Drew, Kevin, Marsha, Robin, Ellen and the Aces gang. Extra props to Brett for a great job on the sound board. :c)

Coming up this week…

The Cleveland Music Club Jam happens every Tuesday at Bullfrog’s Sports Cafe (33137 Center Ridge Rd., N. Ridgeville, 8:30 – 12:30) This week’s guest hosts are Brian ‘Jimi’ Davidson and Bill March. Our sponsor each week is Dirty Town Guitar and Amps. Full backline (two guitar amps, bass amp, Sonor drums, Alesis QS6 keyboard and PA) is provided, so bring your favorite axe, sticks or just your party attitude and dancin’ shoes and come join the fun!

Shady Drive is off this Friday, but on Saturday we’ll head out to Brunswick for our monthly appearance at 42 Eighty Food and Drink (4280 Shenandoah Pkwy, Brunswick, 9:30pm – 1:30am) for a rockin’ and rollin’ good time with the 42 Eighty gang…and YOU! Great food, awesome service, frosty cold beverages and 4 hours of your favorite classic rock and blues tunes by Shady Drive is the perfect way to kick off February and chase away the winter blahs! Don’t miss it! :c)

That’s all for this week! We’ll talk soon…

Mike :c)
