Fall 2008

What a magnificent Autumn we are having this year in the Poconos!! The best Fall Foliage in years! Well, musically things have been great this Fall. I had the opportunity to perform with the Rita Tucker Band at an open-air, Fall Festival at Arrowhead Lakes. The weather was great, the band sounded great, and best of all: I got to gig with my oldest son, Kenny!! The band consisted of Rita, a local singer with a great voice and covers tunes ranging from country to rock and roll. Her son Derek also sings lead and plays acoustic guitar. We performed some of his original songs at the event as well. Kenny played electric guitar and used his effects pedal to cover some of the bass parts for several songs. The wonders of technology!
Also this Fall, we had some special events at the church. Father Torpe celebrated his 25th Jubilee at Our Lady of The Lake and the timpani were beating out the sounds of celebration! A special prayer service ordered by the Bishop of the Scranton Diocese required an impromptu musical arrangement which was well handled by our resident music director and participating music ministry.
More music performance updates will be posted soon as well as some upcoming events!! Yes, a new alliance with a great local band is in the works....more to come!
As for DJ Krazy Kat Ken this Fall, there were several private parties that went very well. This Saturday October 25th is a Costume Party at the church hall for all ages. I'll be spinning dance tunes, 50's-60's, disco, and many, many Halloween songs for the kids.
Lessons are going well and I have been asked to give a percussion demonstration at the local school where my younger son attends.
That's all for now, cheers!
