Hi gang!
Tuesday’s Cleveland Music Club Jam was a big hit! We kicked off with an ass-kicking host set courtesy of Becky Boyd, Mike Dixon and Tim Hamman. Then it was non stop jamming with Larry Ketola, Bob Laeng, Skip Werke, John Hamley, Gerald Hurd, David Lewicki, Drew Doman, Dale Bally, Hichem Ferrah, Greg Kern, Greg McGill, Don Lydon, Mike Cottom, Ron Jackson, Pete, Jmy T., Cedric Ridgeway, Cory, Jim Cirillo, Jerry Kromer and Robert A. DeVries. Thank you all for the great music. Another marathon night but well worth staying up for! Thanks also to everyone who hung out to take in the tunes and have some fun, including: Pamela, Effie, Ken H., Vern, Tom, the Dancing Marilyns, and the rest of the ‘Frog Faithful.’ Finally, big thanks as always, to our sponsor Dirty Town Guitar and Amps and to the staff and management of Bullfrog’s Sports Cafe.
Saturday’s show at Union House was our second time there and another great night! Many thanks to all who came out, including Chris, George, Jimmy, Jill, Dennis, Marilyn, Mary Beth, Sheila, Brin, Denise, Cory, Nate and Rita!
