Witch of Waterville, My Space, and Good to See Y'all
I'm on MySpace now check it out! Make your own MySpace - its easy...
The Waterville Valley Show went great.
That gal was over the top who shouted at us while we were changing. Nobody was around to help us find a spot that should have been provided, thus we had to use our own descression. I don't object to her making a request just her rude delivery and attitude. If I were her boss and overheard her comments, she'd be in my office in the morning where she'd receive a pink slip, some schooling, or a warning. Humph!
Well we overcame that little tirade and had a great time! Everyone was very gracious other than that and loved the music I thought. The band sounded great after a 3-4 week lay-off. Well earned, I might add. It felt good to be together again - I missed everyone.

Notes on a Family Wedding
I just returned from a family wedding in Virginia where my wife, Donna & I supplied the ceremony music as we often do with the WSHB. Family's just different than doing a WSHB wedding. Everything's the same but different. The music's the same, and how we did it is the same. I fear anything I mess up will have longer staying power, and anything I do really well as well. Being family there's no $$ involved but more work - setting up - practicing and on.
Preparing for the wedding was different - heart felt and do it yourself - so along with music, we were setting tables, helping the caterer, and wrapping presents. There is no grand hotel staff or wedding planner to coordinate. It was a bit wild figuring who was wearing what hat and when so everything would go smoothly! The actual preparation for the music had to be done well before with some last minute scrambling. Same result: It worked, they tied the knot, and it was beautiful.
Even the band was good after dinner - and I actually got to dance to the music. Though the band was solid , this 4 piece group wasn't quite the same as the Wicked Smart Horn Band. I missed the sound.
