Happy New Year Everybody!

Tue, January 1, 2008

Here we are on the first day of 2008. I want to wish everyone a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year.

We played the coldest gig of our career last night--and I'm not referring to the audience, I mean the temperature. We played outside from 10pm until midnight in Bethlehem, PA around City Hall. It had to be around 30 degrees. Somehow our fingers worked, but just barely. The crowd was wonderful and the fireworks at midnight were great. So once again, thanks to all of you who braved the cold weather and hung with us. Also thanks to Events Staging and especially our sound tech, Joel Seem, who always does a great job for us.

See you out somewhere in 2008.
