I must say right off, this band is very pro, They know what it is they're doing. From the moment I 1str saw them I knew they have been around,  And the musicianship was apparent, and they shined, like a Diamond in a dark cave.  All the songs were great, in tune, no mistakes, and they had a great banter with the people watching, Yes they are good and if ever get a chance to see them do it,  just for me.

Being together now for 5 years, we have Sharon Gleason on everything, guitar, lead voice, keys,  she even dances with people as she plays and sings, then there's, Jim Robinson, a very talented pro player on guitar and lead voice, they're all pro,  Dan Topping on lead guitar and he cooks, Roger Holnacki on drums and he sings as well and even finds the time to run the mixer, and Mark Bazzini on bass,  One of the best bass players I think I've seen for a long time,  They gell like grape jelly.  They shouldn't be missed. 

 They showed great professionalism,, With simply great bass playing,  Great singing, with great harmonies, most bands, if you get one guy singing it's a good thing but these guys have the vocal part done very well.They also have a great stage show with jokes and they even talk to the audience,  I liked that, In fact  I looked down at my drink and when I looked up, the lead guitarist was in front of me riffing to me, it was really good. ,  A great set of songs, a great Rhym section and leads, make this band one of the best in recent memory for me and I really enjoyed them.

 The songs I really dug were,  Gold Dust Woman , Sledge Hammer, Evil Ways cooked, Don't Speak,    Stelly Dan's, Peg was great,  Use Me Up,   was also excellent.  this band gets kudos from me. if you can, try to see them, if you like nice music and a good party band.  The beer was good too  Angie was there serving up drinks and she had her hands full, make sure to tip her cuz she does a great job!

 Well, see you next week
