Greetings everyone. We’re starting a busy week this week so I will keep it short and sweet. The weather during the month of July this summer has been good so far, and one can only hope August will follow the same pattern as well. My gosh where did the year go?
On to the show reviews: Davy's last Friday night was a dry night but very warm. I really thought it would be a big bike night, but the attendance was on the light side. I find when this happens (and I know I speak for the boys in the band as well) It becomes a challenge to motivate ourselves when it does happens. But we really did kick it in the ass and delivered another smokin' show. We would like to thank Jason for coming up on stage and playing a few tunes with the band. Nice Job.
Saturday night we were at Tioga Downs. It was a nice venue and a great day of musical events. There were five bands that played that day. The festivities started at 11am and ran all the way to 1am as we closed out the evening. The special guest stars of the day were “The Fabulous ThunderBirds”. They hit the stage around 3:00pm and played for almost 90 minutes. The "Tuff Enough" boys put on an awesome show.
I was totally amazed at all of the different sound stage areas offered to all of the musical acts. There was music inside, outside, and everywhere. What a great day of events. I have to tip my hat to the Tioga Downs staff, they really know how to throw a party.
As the closers that night even at 10pm we still had a pretty captive audience. The sound quality was a bit of an issue as once again we tried to settle in on using the "outside" P.A. system, but as the evening wore on we found our place and by the last set we were smokin' .
When the crowd comes up and interacts with the band and even purchases our music, then that’s when you know that you are connecting. And as quickly as the night began, it was over. We’d like to send special thanks to Jeffery “A” for sitting in and playing some awesome Mandolin and Harp.
Not to mention our support team that followed us all the way out to the casino and spent the evening with the band. Thank you all.
We also made some new friends that night, and one in particular was a couple from Texas that were at the show celebrating 31 years of marital bliss. God bless ya's. They absolutely loved what we did and how we delivered it. This was the second group of visitors up from the south that were amazed at what we do here In the northeast. This was all in just the last few weeks and wishing that they had bands like us where they live in the south.
As I said earlier in the year, the Southern Tier is an awesome melting pot of collective music types and people from other parts of the country know a good thing when they hear it and see it. Support on- Southern Tier! It's what we do. We may not have the job market but we sure do have the music market covered.
On to this week’s Shows- We have three this week (one public and two private parties)
VFW in Endicott- Rt. 26- show begins Friday evening at 9pm – Open to the public
And Saturday is Harry and Melissa's private party
And Sunday is Tony and Doris' Family private family reunion
So there you have it - another week in paradise with the Short Change Band.
Be well, Be good, Behave,
Mikee^Dee
