Had good music nights.  Played a Neil Diamond - Sweet Caroline and then 2 Irish numbers - The Wild Rover (clapping) and the Gypsy Rover.  At the Beanery I did five songs.  Sweet Caroline again and Song Sung Blue along with Taylor's Sweet Baby James, and Croce's Operator and added the Gypsy Rover. Small but good crowd.  Sorry to miss Nathan.  

2011 Summer Kick Off

Had a great time at the Roots Ramble last night - saw many friends perform and perform well.  Played at the Media Court Diner first then headed to the Diner to watch the show.

Ice Cream socials over in Sidney Center for another season.  We get back to the Crossroads Coffee house and the Coffee Beanery in Media PA.  Did a session at the Burlap and Bean and will return there.

Oct 18th we return to Kendall in Kennett Square for an evening appearance.......

Returning to Sidney Center for the final close up soon.

At a well attended last Ice Cream Social of the season, the Maywood Depot closed out the summer of 2010.  The 2011 season will open Memorial Day.  Thanks to those who baked, cleaned, posted, scooped, etc. etc.

Back to back music.  Enjoyed playing with Bill at the Ice Cream Social.  As always - great pies, ice cream and community spirit.  Fun for all.

Court diner was a lot of fun.  First time I did Don Williams music.  Not real busy after first wave of diners. Jimmy and Amelia stopped by with Marion for desert.

Great night in Sidney Center - Good folks, friends and new friends.  Steve and Claire were there as we brother Pete.  Ann's family added a special touch as did some of the other kids.  Lucas led some of the music and a good time was had by all.

Good night in Media PA on Friday night and Sunday Night Ice Cream Social in Sidney Center.  Met former student which was quite a thrill, since he actually remembered me from 42 years ago.  My how time flies. 
Bill Senechal returned to Depot and we did some songs together.  Bill will return again next Sunday and we look forward to a kids show as well.

See you there!

Sunday nights at the Maywood Depot (Sidney Center) have occupied our time the last couple of weeks.  Thanks to Richard and Ella, we have discovered the music of Don Williams.  It has changed my listening habits a lot.  I cannot believe that a never heard of a person with 71 albums!

We look forward to another Sunday evening at Maywood August 8th, but will be at Crossroads tonight and the Beanery Friday night.

 

Rev Mr Black, 10 Gallon Stetson Hat and Irish Eyes are smiling.  Great last kick off song.  See bottom of home page for group pic.

Accordion, Guitar and good time had by all.  Used the sign this weekend and I think it might help.  Used a lot of different music and had fun.

Real good turnout - Fun by all.  Tried a Don Williams song - Will do the Senior Village sometime this summer.  Looking forward to playing the Taylor guitar again.  The ovation works but it just isn't the same.

Great time had by all.  Ice cream, homemade pie and good fun.  I played some almost new songs, oldies and we all sang and had fun.  See you next week.

Don and Steve did a great job filling in in for Aubrey who was missed along with his news of the week and trivia questions.  Hurry back Aubrey - we miss you.  There was a full house and at least one performer who was new to me, but recognized by most.  I did two songs from the 60's (Barry McGuire's 'Eve of Destruction' and Peter Paul and Mary's 'Day is Done'. A recent Alan Jackson song ('Livin on Love') completed my songs for the night.  It was a great night with a real diversity of music and poetry - including a real 'tear jerker' from Bill. - Great night had by all - thanks Steve and Don.
