WEEKLY UPDATE FOR OUR MUSIC FANS

I just want to take a minute to express my appreciation to everyone who supported us for the four shows we did since last Wednesday.
Rain forced us to play in the lounge at Warfield’s on Wednesday, but the feedback from the intimate group was positive, and we were thankful to be able to play for them. Thanks to Chris, Diane, Kelly, and the rest of the staff at Warfield’s for always being so gracious and supportive, and thanks to all who joined us in the lounge.
We did our second show at The Irish Mafia Brewing Company on Friday, and this show was even better than the first one. We introduced our music to a lot of new people, and they responded with great enthusiasm. Thanks to Mark, Rayna, and the rest of the staff at Irish Mafia for their hospitality and appreciation for our music, and thanks to the new and old friends who were there to support us.
On Saturday, we were overwhelmed with the support we received at our show at Heron Hill on “Pizza Night.” According to management, there were over 225 people in attendance, and Heron Hill sold 175 pizzas, the finest night of the summer so far. (Heron Hill sincerely apologizes for its inability to keep up with pizza orders in a timely fashion; there was only one oven, and it could not crank out the pizzas fast enough. They are working on solving this issue.) The real icing on the cake for us at Heron Hill, however, was simply meeting up with so many of our former students and their young families. . We just loved hearing about the many happy and productive lives of the students who once sat in our classroom. Thanks to John Ingle, Eric Frarey, Courtney, Amanda, Tony, Chris, Devon, Darrel, and the rest of the staff at Heron Hill for being so helpful and continuing to have us for the “Pizza Night” summer series.
Jose and Willy’s, the last of our four shows for this past week, was a real blast. An old friend of ours, Jay Sharman, showed up with his cajon, congas, and bongos. After Siobhan plugged him in, we engaged in a beautiful Sunday afternoon jam on the deck to a very appreciative audience. Thanks to Jay for lighting up our show with some great percussion. Thanks to Pat and Bill Van Damme and Nick Laskowski for continuing to have us play at their place; we’ve been with them since they opened in the early 2000s. Thanks to so many of you who were on the deck to take in our music and enjoy the beautiful vistas at the north end of the lake.
Still reading? If so, have a great week and thanks for being so supportive of our music!
