2010 Carytown Watermelon Fetival
09/08/10 20:54 Filed in: gigs
Here we are playing the main stage at the 2010 Carytown Watermelon Festival. This is an original song called “Roll a Likkle Spliff.” This is our second year playing the Watermelon Festival. Estimates of 100,000 people wandering through Carytown is quite a sight.
I also enjoyed the hula-hoopers that were dancing in front of the stage. We also sold a bunch of our new cds.
Thanks to Kathy for taking the video.

Volume Control
26/07/10 00:30 Filed in: gigs
One other thing
I’d like to mention about our gig yesterday is that the
band was able to play at a quite reasonable volume.
When we got there, I realized that the gig called for us to keep control of our volume. In my experience, many bands have a problem with being too loud. It is a lot easier to play loud than it is too play quietly.
I am proud to report that we were able to keep control of our volume for the whole gig and avoid the volume gradually creeping up through the gig.
So when you book us, we are able to play at a reasonable volume if you want. Just let us know and we will make ever effort to make your event a success.

Alzheimer’s Association Benefit show

Just got back
from the Alzheimer’s Association Benefit show. It was a
really nice gig and we all enjoyed it quite a bit.
The gig took place in Colonial Heights, VA, which is between Richmond and Petersburg. The venue was an American Legion Hall on a beautiful small river. All of the attendees were people who care for somebody with dementia. It was a night out for them and a chance to get a break from taking care of their loved one for a little while.
We started with drinks and appetizers. I ate a lot of boiled shrimp, which I hadn’t had in a long time. The people were very nice and friendly.
First set was relatively short. We were followed by a pretty hilarious comedienne named June.
After the first set, Wylie, our fabulous guitarist, decided to jump in the river and swim to a huge rock on the other side. We all watched as he effortlessly swam across and then back. I thought about trying to escape the 100-degree heat with a swim, but got involved in a reasoning session with my fellow musicians about how glad we are that Wylie is now playing with us.
We went in and grabbed some dinner. I had salmon and green bean casserole. It was delicious.
The second set was even better than the first. The folks started to cut loose and dance and even formed a conga line that snaked throughout the building.
Afterwards we sold all the rest of our cd’s that we had brought and gave away a bunch of business cards. It was a wonderful way to spend the day.
Our next show is at the Carytown Watermelon Festival on August 8 at 11:45am on the main stage.
