Hi gang!
This week’s Cleveland Music Club – CMC Jam was an astounding array of awesomeness. We all thought George was gonna blow a vein hitting those high notes. But he didn’t (blow a vein) and did (hit those high notes.) Thanks to both George F Hartwig and Gary G Rock Stulak for hosting this week. CMCs own “Energizer Bunnies” never disappoint! Our jammers didn’t disappoint, either! Thank you, “GraV” (Steve, Josh B., Josh S., Clay Craigo), Robert A. DeVries, Chris Barwell, Ron Jackson, Gregory McGill, Don Lydon, Tim Hamman, Joey Samide, John Kerver, and Pedro Diaz. Also, thanks to everyone who came out to listen, dance and hang out with us, including: Mary Beth, Joe S., Patsy, Bob, The Dancing Marilyns (with 2 bonus Marilyns!) and the rest of the ‘Frog Faithful.’ Your support is invaluable! Thank you to our sponsor Dirty Town Guitar and Amps and to the staff and management of Bullfrog’s Sports Cafe for keeping us going every week.
Aces Rock Show Jam on Wednesday was awesome! Thanks to Gary Stulak for having me aboard, to Tom Brady and Joey Samide for an awesome host set and to everyone who came out! Fun night!
Friday’s show at John O’s was played to a packed house as usual. Many thanks to Stephanie and the John O’s staff, and our friends the “Green Acres” gang for hanging out with us!
