Saturday was the Baptism of Theodore a.k.a. Theo a.k.a. Teddy a.k.a. TJ a.k.a. T'Jhon a.k.a. Theodorable a.k.a. Prince Theo the Spoiled. Thanks to our family and friends who helped us welcome him into the Church.
The prize for the one who traveled the farthest goes to Johnny Yulich, who drove all the way from Erie where he is a chef in a successful Italian restaurant to be the godfather of the son of an old classmate -- one who tortured him mercilessly when they were in grade school together. He's a fine young man and we hope to see him again soon. Thanks also to his godmother, Stephanie Grossnickle, who taught Andie and was also her Confirmation sponsor. She has been a great friend of our family and a positive influence on Andie's life, as well as on the lives of countless other students over the years. We are blessed to have such good people as family friends.
This may be the last blog entry for a little while. I'm starting a weeklong gigstravaganza, playing almost every day until the 11th of July. Hope to see some of you at Hotel Hershey, or Knoebel's, or somewhere soon.
Meanwhile, for those in town tomorrow, Bill Nork will be playing twice at the American MusicFest on the Riverfront on July 4th: with the Bayou Bandits at noon on the World Stage and with Robert Bobby at four on the Coca-Cola Community Stage.
Both acts are worth checking out. I've reviewed the Bandits in an earlier post. Robert Bobby was the lead singer and songwriter for The Speedboys, formerly the West Philly Speedboys, one of my favorite bands of the Eighties and a world class good time bar band. Robert Bobby continues to write, record and perform, recently opening for Chris Smithers. He's not exactly a gig hog, so this Wednesday will be a great opportunity to go hear him, and for no cover. You won't be disappointed.
