Saturday evening we traveled to the Sunbury Legion and played for a small but enthusiastic crowd who stayed and danced the whole night. We've made many new friends with the management and locals of this Legion and we look forward to returning there on August 25th. This is an old-school social club dance hall with a great stage. The building is fifties vintage, and the tiles on the floor take me back to St. Francis of Assisi kindergarten.
Along with the locals, we were privileged again to play for a special table full of fans: Renna Kenyon, Kathy Patti, Pat Roth and Angelina Traino, a/k/a "The Band Wives." These wonderful women have been at almost all the band's performances since the very beginning. By my rough estimate they've listened to some of these songs about 500 times, and applauded every single time. The Wives have been joined recently by bassist Mark Evans' wife, Sharon. The members of the band are fortunate to have that kind of support at home, and we appreciate them.
(There should be a photo here of the wives, but the picture I took turned out to be pretty hideous, and if I put it here the four of them would beat me to a pulp. I'll post one later.)
The Just Friends Band is gearing up for some of our favorite summer performances. We will be playing at the Hotel Hershey on the Fourth of July. These are the best fireworks you'll see in central PA. The traffic is always pretty heavy, but it's a great chance for the general public -- that's you! -- to come and hear us in a unique setting. We will be performing the Patriotic Medley during the fireworks display.
"Saturday, in the Park, I think it's on the Seventh of July." The park is Knoebels Grove, and this is another chance to see the band in a unique setting. If you've never been to Knoebels, you owe it to yourself. Find some kids to bring along so you'll have an excuse to ride the coolest rides around. For more information, contact Manager Jack at 717-985-9797. For park info, check out http://www.knoebels.com/ The park is about 90 minutes from Harrisburg and you'll be glad you made the trip. Hope to see you there. Yes, we'll be playing "Saturday in the Park."
Sunday, August 12th, Just Friends will be playing for a worthy cause at the Car Show to be held in the parking lot of Boscov's at the Colonial Park Mall to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association. This will be an afternoon event and we hope to see all of you come out and support the band and this important fundraising effort. More information to follow.
