Weekly Update
A resounding “thank you” to all who came out to the Nags Head for Eric Curylo on Saturday afternoon. Though the turnout wasn’t overly large — about 65 people at it’s peak would be my best guestimate — the generosity was unparalled with just under 1500 dollars raised. With a lot of therapy still ahead, the money will be a big help. And speaking of Eric, he was there and looked terrific. His recovery continues to border on the miraculous and is truly inspirational. And Diane Dougal and Melissa Bliven, you should both stand up and take a bow. My apologies to anyone else I left out — I had little to do with the planning and preparation for the event — but I know the work that those two put in. Okay, you can both sit down now…….
Saturday night, November 17, we return to one of our favorite haunts, Matty T’s Roadhouse, 356 Commack Road, Deer Park. There’s a little line-dancing going on during our set and a lot of it on our breaks when Chet Austin spins contemporary country music, but it most certainly isn’t a prerequisite for attendance. The people are very friendly and its a great atmosphere. Like I said, it’s one of our favorites. We’ll get underway at 10 PM.
And since Matty’s will be our last public date in the month of November I would like — on behalf of myself, Jim, and Eddie — to wish all of you a very Happy Thanksgiving. I’ve said it every year but it merits repeating: one of the things we’re thankful for is folks like you who take the occasional time out of their busy lives to come and see us play. Your support is appreciated and never taken for granted.
I will speak with you soon.

To add to your comments about the party at the Nags Head, a hearty round of applause is due to .. X/SESSION… for being the backbone of the party.. and keeping everyone entertained!!!
Without you.. the whole thing would have been a LOT less enjoyable.
Thanks,
