Hi Laraine & Keith!

I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to write! We are back in SA over a week now & settled back into this cold winter! We're also already back at work at school getting our classrooms ready, etc...

I just have to say how much we loved having the band play at our wedding! They were amazing! We loved how Carla sang our wedding song by John Legend, we loved how they sang & played "AFRICA" as well as everything else!!! Everyone at the wedding remarked how great the band was. Thank you so much for learning all the songs we requested & for making it such a great & memorable day for us!

I think my mom already sent you some pictures - - I saw them on your blog. Thanks for putting us up there!

I hope all is going well for you guys. We will be back at Christmas time this year. If you have any gigs we will try & come.

All the best to you & THANK YOU again!!!

VIDEO-OH

This is most of our new video...... everything is on here from our new shoot, but will be complete with a few more songs and up on our website with a bigger screen and very clear sound. 

This video is streaming and some below are individual clips.

This Video shoot was done live, this band is the REAL THING.

You are not going to hear us and 12 other bands sounds alike, all doing the same stuff.

It is just us and you should really hear and see the difference when looking at this video.

The music is one of the most important things for your party..we will make people dance.

 You will get great personal attention, and in this

difficult economy you are getting the best band there is for your money. 

Just listen......and if this is not enuf you can still check pout our older things on the website...you can find whatever type of music you are looking for somewhere on the site, and if you don't see it..we will learn it!

January 20th

Well...I cannot think of a better way to spend January 20th then watching the spectacular inauguration of our new President. But alas, we won't be going to D.C.

so spend it with us at the Witherspoon and we can pretend we are there!!

Tomorrow

Tomorrow..back at Witherspoon to start off 2009 the right way!!

6:30 10-jazz at the Grill...always a blast 

Post holiday

Ah..it was quite a week. Glad to see 2008 go .

Everyone had a terrific New Year's Eve Party at the "club"

And this past weekend...J & M re-took their vows (married July 3rd 1999)..

The house ROCKED!!

We hope to be there in another 10 years.

Merci!
