This season of playing out is winding down. We were lucky enough to be playing straight through from May on. It works out that my teaching job starts when my band one is slowing down. There are not many places to play in the north country now. People up here tend to hibernate for the winter. Our favorite club, Middle Earth, was the best place to see a good band, eat, drink, and move around but they had a really difficult time making a go of it and had to close...boo, hooo. I will have fond memories of Chris and Sue and the 12 years of hard work that they put into the place.

We might try the ski areas this winter and have a few foliage gigs left, however. Look for us at the Deerfield Fair in southern New Hampshire and Paddle the Border in Bradford Vermont. We always learn new sons after the playing season so the winters give us plenty of time to practice. That is something that we've done for 30 years without a stop. Also, if any of you local friends like to jam we're into all kinds of music and loooove jamming.

I want to thank all of you who came out to support us at our gigs and to those of you who listened, made comments, and left messages on myspace. Although we've been on here for only a few months we've made many good friends.
