Hi gang!
Last week was just awesome and very busy, and there’s another coming up, so here goes! Kudos to ‘Furious’ George Hartwig and Gary ‘G Rock’ Stulak for a fine job hosting the CMC Jam on Tuesday. Great jammin’ by Bob Laeng, Hayden Frosti, John Kerver, Joey Samide, Greg Kern, Greg McGill, Sean Cortimilia, Jason Boismier, Don Lydon, Minh, Janette Emmerling and Lenna Pauley. Also great to see Pamela, Pam, Lisa, Vern, Joe S., Michael, Alyssa, the Dancing Marilyns and the rest of the ‘Frog faithful. Thanks also to Russell and the Bullfrogs staff for their continued support and to Dirty Town Guitar and Amps and Guitar Center N. Olmsted for sponsoring us.
Friday found Shady Drive at The Bier Haus for another fun night! Thanks to all who came out!
Saturday’s Fairview Tavern show was a blast as well with Jon, Brian, Pam and her whole gang! A special thanks to Paul and his lovely fiance’ who drove in from Pittsburgh to catch the show!
