Weekly Update
We’re all set to begin our twelfth summer together, and our first as a quartet, as we head out to Greenport this Saturday, May 24th, to play the great outdoors at Claudio’s, 111 Main Street. This holiday weekend gig will begin at 1:30 and end at 5:30, a little earlier than our normal mid-summer time — not to mention a Saturday instead of a Sunday, customary for us on the holiday weekends there. As of now the forecast is mostly sunny with temps in the mid-sixties and with a high UV index so wear a light jacket and perhaps a cap or some sunscreen and come on out.
We head up to West Point to play for the graduating cadets on May 30th, and then we’re in Seaford on Friday June 6 to play at Sunset Grill, 4068 Sunrise Hwy. The last time we were there we started a little earlier — about 9:30 — and I’m going to assume that we’ll be doing so again but I will let you know in a subsequent e-mail.
Our schedule through June is now up the website at www.xsessionmusic.com. It’s also been brought to my attention that there isn’t any mention of our newest member, young buck Joe Dejesu, on the site nor is there a photo of him. So, for those of you who haven’t seen us since Joe joined, he’s about 5’10″ and thin with dark hair (yes, he has hair!) and an occasional light goatee. Maybe we’ll get a police sketch artist to draw a picture based on that until we get a decent photo of the guy! Actually you can see a photo of us on the website by going to http://www.xsessionmusic.com/photos_nappertandys_smithtown.php, and then scrolling down to the February 8, 2008″ show. That’s us. Joe’s the one holding the beer. There’s also a nice photo of Joe and his Dad on the same page under the March 7, 2008 show. This time they’re both holding a beer.
Ok, that’s it for now. Please have a safe holiday weekend. I’ll talk to you soon.
