I enjoyed the band, Dave, nice harmonies ... ... thanks ... saw the 'token dark haired guy' on drums grin

But didn't the sax player like looking at you ?!? ...
Just kidding, must have had something to do with the configuration of the stage ... OR it was his video camera ... laugh2

BTW, his book looks like the one I used before going 'hi-tech' tablet ...

BTW #2 ... Your "Tears on My Pillow"/ "You Belong to Me" medley is just like part of a medley our band did (and no doubt 100 others) ...

Once agaain, thanks for sharing that ...
I WISH I had some video of our band ... frown

Tony, the drummer was the kid of the band at 58, he was filling in for the original drummer/lead singer who had a stroke at 82. I had a great time with that band, but I was also just a visiting replacement member for a few years.

Paul and I have known each other for nearly 40 years (as Dave has been).

Paul and I have daughters that are close friends.. And we both played accordion, going back to Ted Mack days.


And our grand daughters are best friends (over 20 years). smile

Very nice group Dave! Enjoyed listening! Great blend and versatile musicians! Loved the organ sounds on that I30, and of course the sax player was super (as were all of you)! Oh the fun of the good old days and the good old tunes!

Have to agree with you Randy ... I've said it SO many times - as a musician, for me there is nothing more enjoyable than spending a few hours with OTHER musicians, entertaining people ...
And with our band in NY, the fact that we were all so close - more like family than friends - made it all the better ...
Nice job again, Dave ... Thank you ...

Randy I have to tell you this smile
The heart of Paul's set up is a Roland xv5080 (it used to be mine).. He uses it for bass, organ blend with his PA1x, and acoustic piano.
The i30 is mostly a controller. PA1x is the programming of sounds, consisting of the 5080, PA1x, Korg 01w/r (strings).

Tony - yep! Totally agree! My days in the US Air Force Band were amazing days - sure miss them. Just musicians, playing music together and when not, often playing cards on the bus on the trips. Definitely "a family"!

Fran - thanks! Had no idea what rig he was using but he sure used it tastefully. Thanks for the education!
