Saturday night we played for one of our favorite groups, the Beaufort Hunt, at their 2007 Annual Ball and Silent Auction at the Harrisburg Country Club. Pat Banzhoff, here pictured with the band, chaired the committee which put on the event, and it was elegant as ever. We truly enjoy these folks, and they must like us because both the band and the Hunt Club have lost count of how many years we've played for them, five or six or something like that. From the opening strains of "John Peel" to the closing kick line of "New York, New York," everyone had a great time, and as the evening closed, we all said to each other, "See you next year."
Next week: We return to the Progress Home Association for a private St. Patrick's Day party, wherein for a change the Irish members of the band will get at least as much respect as the Italians. (Just kidding, guys. No, really.)

Barry and I want to know when the German section can get some respect.
ReplyDeleteI've seen so many irish-italian marriages over the years, you'd think there would be more than respect going around but this is a family page....
ReplyDeleteDo they still chase foxes?
grampa ed
German respect? I'll get back to y'uns around Oktoberfest on that.
ReplyDeleteEd, according to Wikipedia they still do, but in the United States they don't kill the fox. The hounds and horses chase the fox until it "goes to ground." I'm not sure about Beaufort Hunt's practices. We only ever see them eat, drink and dance.
