I'm glad that's over with, for this year. Next year, I'm hoping we do 'something different' rather than try to adapt Beatles songs to our 4-person style.
The songs with the girl singing didn't do quite as well- she had no tpracticed (enough), had been sick so her voice was unsteady and there were sound issues, too.
Back to looking for an acoustic band...

Fine job on the harmonies. Is that a Gretsch White Falcon 12 string?

No offense Mike, but damn....that's some of the whitest looking guys i've seen on one stage! 8)

I think its a knockoff copy 12-string.
Hey, its New England we only get sun 4-5 months a year. Nothing but white spotlights on the stage, too.

Hey that was good!

I liked it. You guys sing well together, and I love that 12-string folk sound. But honestly...I don't know which one is you?

For sure, a bass player willing to lay back and provide the solid low end of a good rhythm section can always get work.
