Fun in New Orleans at Six String Music Festival
I was able to book a 4 day weekend in New Orleans in August for Six String Music Festival. Crab Island Mambo is going to be a sponsor for this event. It should bring us some good publicity. I am also in the process of booking our place in Key West for MOTM at the end of October and first week of November. Have to have something to look forward to!
On Wednesday evening Sunshine Cindy and I went to KC’s for their sunset sing-along. It is always a lot of fun there. As we walked up Terry and Michele were at the bar. We grabbed a couple of chairs next to them and proceeded to catch up. Sara was behind the bar and she was kept busy with a good sized crowd. We had texted Wayne that we were there and he came out too. Pretty soon Jan and Kenny showed up. Jan is the unofficial lead of the jam session. He sings a lot of Trop Rock songs and keeps the crowd entertained. Last night he broke out a new song he wrote about Crab Island Mambo. WE LOVED IT! It gave us chills knowing what we are doing with CIM is reaching people. I hope to get a live recording of the song. If I do, it will go on our Crab Island Mambo web site.
Hoov and Jan playing music on the beach
Other than that, Jan had Sunshine Cindy and Michele up doing a few songs. Mike came by as did Matt and a few others. I had hoped to get Dennis out there too but he could not make it. Dennis is back home from Afghanistan for a few weeks. He is a little more than half way through his third year over there as a civilian contractor. Hoov, as we call him, loves to pick the guitar. He used to always be on the beach with us and after a few beers we could convince him to play some songs. When he comes home, we try to get him out. He is in a dangerous place over there and we look forward to the day he is back for good.
Time to get ready for the weekend……
