Short Change Band - Beginning of August, 2011

Hello all, just finishing up another fantastic weekend of musical events. As we now enter into the month of August the rest of the summer is sure to fly by us much like the first half.

Right to the show reviews:

Friday night was our only public show for last week. We played once again at the VFW in Endicott. There was a nice crowd as many of our good friends came out to support us. The music we played was good and we even got a visit from our Aunt Flow again. It's always a plus to know when your Aunt Flow comes to town, adds that special little touch. (Priceless)

Saturday evening we played another award winning show outdoors up to Harry and Melissa's . It was a weather perfect day for an outdoor show. And once again we had some of our local friends stop by and show their support.

Outdoor shows with a farm yard full of goats running around is truly a rush. Vanilla is always so happy to greet us each year when we return. She really shows affection to Double D. But then again most of the barn animals do like Darrell anyway, as he is our modern day Dr. Doolittle. They even come up on stage while we play! What a great audience they make.
Special thanks to Harry and Melissa for having us back three years running now and always supplying a bottle of Jack for each and every show. Again, the band thanks you guys and we hope to do it again next year too. It’s one great party!

Sunday we actually split ways just a bit. Darrell had a prior commitment to address so we incorporated the services of "magic fingers Herb" to come help us out on the bass guitar for yet another outdoor party.

And once again we had to muster up as much stamina as we had to keep our volume down to a low roar, and in typical Short Change Fashion - we were fine. Even the older people commented on how well we performed and they could still carry on a conversation between each other. Hey we aim to please.

Anymore you almost need to carry two entire systems around in the truck to meet the needs of the events in question. But we're doing a good job so far with it anyway. Special thanks to Herb for filling in – as it’s almost like the boy never left. What a great utility guy, as he can do it all.
And this weekend we will be playing a local event at a buddy of ours business - an open house and customer appreciation party.

If you’re out and about this Saturday afternoon swing past "Frumpys Chop Shop" on Rt.12 in lower Greene. I'm sure he would love to meet you. Bring your Street Rods- Hot Rods- Harley's we love ‘em all..

And finally this weekend as well we will be shooting pictures for the new album cover for the Back to Basics CC with thanks to our photographer Packrat. You remember the Back to Basic's album right? Yeah we will be back in the studio shortly to finish. We are aiming for a release date sometime this fall. (Patience is a virtue)

Well that about wraps up another week in the jungle.

Keep it real, Keep it fun, and stay well ... Peace,

Mikee^^Dee....
