Hi gang!

It was another busy week! Doc and Louie’s rocked on Tuesday with the Cleveland Music Club jam night in full swing. It was a fantastic night with a ton of great performers. Thanks go out to Ernie Arroyo, Mike Bomback, John Kerver, Elaine Reisdorf, Dale Hartmann, Bob Laeng, Don Lydon, Dennis David Bielinski, Rob Hill, Ryan Iammarino, Nate Prahst, Dave Millard, Marc Alu, Rick Lowe, Robert DeVries, Kevin Fancher, Carol Dieball, Greg K., Doug Doman, Josh Narramore, Jimmi Chance, Terry Tobin and the mysterious “Bass-er X!” Also to John J., Katyana, Rick H., Dave K. (not be confused with George Harrison!! :)) Jim, Scott, Lisa, Ami, Gene, Shelly, Uncle Peanuts and Doc’s music loving patrons. Thanks are also in order to Dirty Town Guitar and Amps for sponsoring tonight’s jam! Congrats go out to Bob DeVries, Don Lydon and Ernie Arroyo who won an over-drive pedal, a certificate good for either a guitar or bass set up and an LED lighted pick holder respectively. Last but certainly not least, thanks to The Amazing Kristen for keeping us all fed and watered all while never losing her smile and Doc for giving us a roof over our heads. On Friday, The Mad Cactus was the scene of Shady Drive’s final 2011 performance. The Cactus crowd was out in full force with Teddy and Tischa behind the bar! We had a great time. :c)

Coming up this week, I’ll be at Doc and Louie’s on Tuesday (7pm – 11pm) for the weekly Cleveland Music Club jam night. Joining me as co-hosts are Brian Davidson and Bill March and this week’s sponsor is Guitar Center of North Olmsted! Come join us for some good food, great music, fun and prizes! Shady Drive is off until January 7 when we’ll be back at Irish Kevin’s.

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

Mike :c)
