Hi gang!
Finally, some nice weather! The down side is that more folks are spending time outdoors, so the crowds were light last week. Tuesday’s CMC Jam at Bullfrog’s was no exception, but definitely not light on fun! Thanks to hosts G.S. Harper and Tim Hamman and everyone who came out to jam or just hang out, including Gerald Hurd, John Kerver, David Koler, Bob Laeng, Dan Elliott, Greg Kern, Don Lydon, Dan Hearns, Janette, Tricia, Vern, Barb, Ami, Chris, Amy, The Dancing Marilyns, and the rest of the ‘Frog Faithful.’ Thanks to Dirty Town Guitar and Amps for being our ‘constant’ supporter and sponsor and to the Bullfrog’s staff for all of their hard work!
Friday’s show at Upper Deck was a blast with Bob, Lisa, Joe, Sandy, Ken, Jimmy, Jeffrey, Andrew, Donna, Susie, Laura and all of the ‘Deck gang. This was our last Upper Deck show for this season. Thanks to Tim and his awesome staff for having us! We’re looking forward to coming back next year!
Saturday’s Fairview Tavern crowd was light as well, but we had fun rockin’ the house with Heather, Lance, Onnie, John, Jackie, Annette, Cyndi, Dan, Joe and Max who joined us onstage for some Blues Brothers tunes, and Jeff, who sat in with us and did a killer job with harp and vocals on “The Sky Is Crying”! We’re back at the Fairview Tavern on May 10.
Coming up this week…
The Cleveland Music Club – CMC 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 “Furious” George Hartwig and Gary “G Rock” Stulak. Our sponsor each week is Dirty Town Guitar and Amps. Full backline (two guitar amps, bass amp, Sonor drums and PA) is provided, so bring your favorite axe, sticks or just your party attitude and dancin’ shoes and come join the fun!
Cleveland Music Club and Bullfrog’s are teaming up to give away a pair of tickets to see “Wish You Were Here” at the House of Blues on May 16. During the month of April, every jammer at our Tuesday jam will get one entry in the drawing on each night they participate in the jam. If you participate every Tuesday in April, you’ll have 5 entries. On April 29, guest host Eroc Sosinski of Wish You Were Here will draw the winning entry! How cool is that?!?!?
On to Saturday, when Shady Drive heads back to The Bier Haus (17692 Pearl Rd., Strongsville, 8:30pm – Midnight). The food there is amazing and they feature dozens of craft beers. Not to mention that Bob, Michelle and staff rock the house in their own right with service that can’t be beat. Come join us! You’ll be glad you did!
That’s it for this week! We’ll talk soon…
