Practice Makes Perfect!

We returned to Merrill Gardens this afternoon for the first of our quarterly shows there this year.  We felt really good about the show as a whole, From the order of the set list, to the smoothness of the patter, to our increasingly co-ordinated bits of choreograph, we seem to get more polished with each performance. Rehearsal pays big dividends, but there's also nothing like performance to solidify things.As our opener, we introduced our newest number, "Sentimental Journey" which we do to a big band backing track. Isn't it amazing how we can get all of those great musicians into that little PA system! 

Friday afternoon shows at Merrill Gardens are fun because the residents  hang out on couches or gather around tables and have drinks while we sing. 
At our first show a few months ago, there was a lot of conversation while we were singing, so it felt more like a gig in a bar or restaurant. This time everyone seemed really attentive and engaged with our performance. 
Many people were mouthing the lyrics of our songs, and of course almost everyone clapped and sang along on our finale, "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy".
Their activity director( pictured above) was pleased, and has booked us to return every third month thru 2013.

We had lots of fun singing for the San Francisco Breakfast Club's January meeting at the Fairmont, that gorgeous relic of the Gilded Age. Everything went very smoothly. Judy had recovered from her sprained ankle sufficiently to perform on her feet, and we integrated our newest member, Chris Schroeder into the show for a couple of tunes.
   Many patrons approached us afterward to tell us we were the highlight of the event for them! 
   This is the first gig arranged for us by our new agent., as well as our largest audience to date. We look forward to doing lots more private parties, fairs and festivals in the coming year.

Lovin' Harmony on TV !

We were a hit at the Villa d'Este in SF as part of the Bay Area Performers Benefit for Staten Island victims of superstorm Sandy.
     We made some contacts for potential future employment, and in a fortuitous accident of timimg we were the performers onstage when the local news cameraman showed up to videotape the event for KTVU-TV.  
    Later that night at 10:17, there we were on channel 2, singing "Mood Indigo" to the packed house, during the news story associated with Congress' passing of a bill to disburse part of the relief funds. What a kick! 
    Judy was a total trooper, and deserves kudos for arriving on crutches and doing the show on a stool with her newly-sprained ankle in a brace. She represented the resilience of the survivor! 
   This event was also the debut of our newest member, Chris Schroeder, who did a great job. Chris will be substituting for Ricki whenever she is unavailable.
