Weekly Update
This Friday night, the 19th of October, we can be found at JC’s Restaurant, 2 Country Club Dr., Manorville. Yes, it’s on the grounds of a country club but you needn’t wear knickers and a houndstooth cap and be toting a niblick or a mashie! What I mean is, the place is a lot of fun and it’s open to the public so come on down. We go from 9 until midnight. (I’ll bet there’s a lot of Googling “niblick” and “mashie” thanks to me now!)
On Saturday night, October 20th, The Dix Hills Center For The Performing Arts will play host to the second annual John Lennon Birthday Celebration in which we will once again be taking part. The concert features a dozen or so Long Island-based bands/solo artists each performing a song from Lennon’s solo career. I believe Newsday will be giving the concert some coverage in this Wednesday’s edition though I’m not sure if it will be in the form of an ad, a write-up, or both. They requested a picture of us for that purpose. Anyway, tickets are 20 bucks — the proceeds earmarked for the Five Towns College general scholarship fund — and are available by calling the DHPAC at 631-656-2148. Click on www.dhpac.org for more information.
And finally this week another reminder to come down to the Nags Head Ale House, 396 New York Ave., Huntington on Saturday afternoon, November 10th between 12 and 5. We will be playing there to raise money for our good friend Eric Curylo. Eric was involved in a serious motorcycle accident on July 4th and is facing some equally serious medical expenses as he works his way through the laborious rehabilitative process. The admission is 15 dollars, and the Nags Head will supply a buffet meal and charge happy hour prices for beverages. I understand that numerous local businesses are donating various prizes, so I imagine there will be raffles as well.
If you need more information or have any questions about this event, PLEASE feel free to reply to this e-mail and I will answer you personally. Additionally, if any of you would like to contribute but won’t be able to attend on the 10th, you can make a donation at any of our gigs (and please specify that the donation is for Eric). Perhaps next week I’ll have a physical address for that purpose also. As I’m sure you can tell, this cause is very important to us so please forgive me if I emphasize it a bit now and in the upcoming weeks. Besides, the afternoon figures to be a blast!
Please enjoy the week, I’ll talk to you soon.
