Weekly Update
On Saturday, November 10 at 1 PM, we’ll be playing in Huntington at Nags Head Ale House, 396 New York Ave, in the hopes of raising money for our good friend, Eric Curylo.
As most of you regular readers now know, Eric was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident on July 4th. His continued slow recovery to regain the most basic of motor and brain function, while remarkable in itself, has left him with a mountain of medical bills and an uncertain future with regard to being able to work to pay them.
The event will run from noon until 5:30, and we’ll play from 1 PM until 5. The suggested admission is 15 dollars, but no one will be turned away who can only contribute less. The Nags Head will graciously be donating a buffet spread and charging Happy Hour prices, and there will be a 50/50 raffle as well as raffles to give away the numerous gift certificates donated by local merchants. All tips to the bartenders and the band will be donated, also. Finally, if you can’t make the gig but still want to contribute you can do so by mailing any amount to “Eric Curylo c/o Bliven, 7 Waverly St., Huntington Station, NY, 11746.” You can make the checks out to “Eric Curylo.” Jim, Eddie, and myself have come to know Eric pretty well over the years — this is a chance to help someone who not only needs it, but truly deserves it.
On the eve of the “Ericfest”, Friday the 9th, you can catch us at Napper Tandy’s, 275 RT 25A, Miller Place where we’ll play a Happy Hour from 7ish until 10. In past years there has always been a band after us, but a quick perusal of their website only shows us playing there, so I can’t say for sure.
Finally, on Saturday night, November 17, we’re back at Matty T’s Roadhouse, 356 Commack Road, Deer Park, a place that we love and never seem to play often enough. That one will get underway at 10 PM.
And that’s it for this week, hope to see many of you Saturday afternoon in Huntington!
