Hi gang!
Last Tuesday’s CMC Jam was a hit, thanks to hosts Rob Hayes and Justin Butcher, Papa J on keys, John Kerver, Bob Laeng, Doug, Angelo Ciu, Tom King, Dan Elliott, Greg Kern, Don Lydon, Benny, Bob DeVries… as well as Paul A. Fresty and Hichem Ferrah who had to leave before their turns. Thanks also to Vern, Phil, Kathy, Sue, the Dancing Marilyns and the rest of the ‘Frog Faithful’ for hanging with us tonight. As always, big thanks to our sponsor Dirty Town Guitar and Amps and to the staff and management of Bullfrog’s Sports Cafe for keeping us all jamming every Tuesday.
Friday night’s Slim N’ Shady gig at the Blue Turtle was big fun as always! Thanks to everyone who came out and joined in the fun. :c)
Saturday at the Park Tavern ended all too soon! We were all having a great time and all of a sudden it was 10pm and time to go home! Many thanks to Pat, Wally and the army they brought with them, Kat, Dave, Judy and John for coming out, Gil and Mikki for having us in, and to Samantha, Nikki and Tracy for taking such great care of us (and everyone else!) all evening! It was way cool and we can’t wait to play there again on October 7!
Coming up this week…
