Hi gang!
This week’s jam featured guest hosts GS “Mr. Job Security” Harper and Adam Constantine. My most sincere thanks to these two for a smokin’ host set. CMC has missed you, Mr. Harper. But now it’s time to fire you again, at least until the next time you can visit us! :c) Following the host set we had a great group of jammers, including the bands “Thick as Thieves” (Jimmy Deamiches, Jason Neitenbach, Manda Baher and Mike Cottom) and “Under the Covers” Hayden Frosti, Erin, Michael and Doobie)… as well as Bob Laeng, John Kerver, Gene Frantz, Hichem Ferrah, Wally Marflak, Greg Castillo, Don Lydon, Gregory McGill, and Patricia Reiter. Thank you all for coming out to make some music! Thanks also to Lisa, Mark, Steven, Mike, Shelly, Pamela, the “Dancing Marilyns” and the rest of the ‘Frog Faithful” for hanging out and supporting the players. Finally, thanks as always to our sponsor Dirty Town Guitar and Amps and to the staff and management of Bullfrog’s Sports Cafe for making the jam possible.
Friday night at the Sly Fox with the Furious George Trio was just off the hook fun! My thanks to ‘Furious’ George Hartwig for having me along and to Sammy Free for being my rhythm section partner in crime for the evening. Great to see Lisa, Katyana, Eric, Scott and Susan!
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) Our guest hosts this week are the amazing Becky Boyd, Mike Dixon and Tim Hamman! Our sponsor each and every week is Dirty Town Guitar and Amps (15230 Madison Ave. Lakewood)! 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!
On Saturday, Shady Drive travels to Defiance, Ohio to back The Soul Men at the Defiance Fraternal Order of Eagles. We’ll have Megan Constantine on bass and Bob Gerhard on keys! This should prove to be a fun night!
That’s all for this week! We’ll talk soon…
Mike :c)
