Hi gang!
Last Friday’s gig at Parma Tavern was awesome! We celebrated Rick’s 50th with him and his posse, Sandy and Ken stopped by as did Erin and Steve! We were lucky enough to convince Erin Rossi to sing a few tunes with us and she brought down the house with her renditions of White Rabbit, Me and Bobby McGee and Cold Sweat. We also had a surprise visit from Michael and Denise. What a great time! :c)
On Saturday, Erika and I ventured down to the House of Blues to catch Wish You Were Here’s 9th Annual Holiday show where we were definitely treated to an amazing evening. These guys ALWAYS put on one hell of a show. If you haven’t seen them, you are missing a great experience. You can see them at Tangier on February 23 and at House of Blues next on May 4th.
