Mid Life Crisis

Well we were just playing with ourselves at the beginning.  Should have known the crowd might be a bit sparse due to the holiday weekend, but luckily birthday-girl Cris and her posse showed up and they were able entice a few of the Fire Department/Paramedic party people off the patio (see the pole dancer - we never get the right kind).  Linda and more FOBs along with Emilio the lovely Shane came in and the effervescent Debbie & Jenifer helped get things going.  Joanne tried to be incognito but when you’re the wife of the member of a TAMMIES-winning band you can’t hide for long.  Oh yes, we drew in our friends from Sahuarita and I have to mention Jenifer came in from Phoenix.  The fact that there is no dance floor and that the floor was a bit sticky didn’t stop anyone and we made quite a few new friends.  Here’s hoping we can find an open date for a return visit.  Thanks to everyone who came out.

Another  birthday!  This time for Addy (dancing in the first picture with Bill) and we were happy to sing again.  This was the night for the pretty women in the black dress, but Bev did a great job pulling off the pastels.  Once again we thought, “Okay, a lighter-summer crowd” but by 7 the joint was jumping.  We debuted a couple of new songs and kept working on changing the rotation - but I have to mention that we regularly get asked for certain songs - just so you know we do try to play different set lists but we like to accomodate requests when we can.  By the way, we don’t do waltzes, but may add one someday.  We’ll be back in less than 2 weeks, see you then!

Well, I must apologize.  I have been a bit behind in my posting and I can’t even blame the Olympics anymore.  We had one heck of a crowd at the Legion Friday, helped out by Judith’s birthday celebration.  She and her party members provided some kick-ass food - we were happy to be part of the festivities.  I think Angelina made enough to ask us back and we don’t have to worry about another “letter” being posted.  Thank you all!
