RECONNECTING WITH OLD FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES

Two appropriate shows on graduation weekend!  A big weekend of connecting back to the days at CA!  On Friday, Siobhan and I played a last minute happy hour show at Iron Smoke Distillery.  Coincidentally, the late night band was Taran, a well-known rock group with two of its members being former CA students, Todd Tarantello and Bob Maslin.  Jim Shelton, another CA grad, was running sound for the band.  It was great seeing the guys, and we got to listen to their first set as we packed up.  They were terrific!

A big thank you to everyone who came to Iron Smoke for the happy hour.  We had a blast playing our tunes for you, and your positive feedback was much appreciated.  Big thanks to Tommy and Jen Brunett for supporting our music, and a big thanks to Casey, Mike, Julie, Caitlin, and the rest of the staff at Iron Smoke for being so friendly and helpful.  We’ll be back at Iron Smoke on  July 16.  Stay tuned.

On Saturday, the CA connections continued.  Bill and Chris Clark, CA grads,  asked us to play for their parents’ 50th wedding anniversary.  Coincidentally, their mother, Margaret, was a friend and colleague of ours at CA before she went to teach in Geneva.  Needless to say, it was great catching up with all of the family and their friends, many of whom we knew from the CA days.  A big thanks to Bill and Chris for asking us to play.  A big thanks to Perry Cleaveland for joining us for this show and taking our music to a higher level as he always does.  Congratulations to Bill and Margaret, and we wish them another 50 wonderful years!

Hope you all had a great weekend!  Enjoy what is left of it, and we hope you have a great week!
