Nothing in Feb? How can that be?

Wow. What a busy month. Started on Feb 1 at Channel 11 with Douglas Cameron and several members of the band. We played for a promo for the Feb 12th Concert at the Strand Theater. I put together some arrangements for the small group and I actually got some TV Face time!!!  http://archive.11alive.com/atlanta_and_company_story.aspx?storyid=328253

Played “solo” with the karaoke stuff for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes on Thursday of the same week. Friday, I worked at Career Day for the HS  kids of the county at Ga Highlands College all day. Next day had a HOA meeting in Jasper for our “mountain community” house and then a Birthday party for all the February birthdays in the family.  Sunday, was the rehearsal with the BBC and Douglas and Ashley Rivera   who sang with us on the 12th at the Strand.

Monday was a production meeting for the Grand Theater and Tuesday we had another grandson!!!  ROY CARLTON JONES!  Needless to say, that occupied most of the spare time that we would have had for a while!!! CONGRATS!!!

Meeting with Etowah Share a Song (https://www.facebook.com/etowahshareasong/?fref=ts) on Wednesday nite and made some future plans for gigs and organization.Etowah Share a Song
