On the Northern Side of Merrick Road
just 3 blocks east of Wantagh Parkway
next to the duck pond
An interesting night. Our first set was 100% country, but this place advertises a mixed music bag and who walks in, but our old friend Barry Titone, a musician extraodinaire. Barry is a great singer, guitarist, bassist, but most of all he is known as one of Long Island's great saxophone players, So we couldn't pass up the opportunity to get Barry up on stage for some Blues, some rock, some motown, some oldies , some jazz and some general mayhem. Friends said we "kicked ass!"
Lew the new manager of the country nights at the Polish Hall stopped in to say Hello. We are going to be re-opening the Polish Hall to country Music on August 13th. Please come and support country music in Nassau County

Now this is one cool place! We got a last minute call.
Fortunately our good buddy Joe Zogbi (from the Lowriders and the Jeff Regan Band) was able to step in, so we could do the gig.
The owner of this place is a very good guy, and a great cook too. You must try the dinner and beverage
specials. The dance floor is big enough for line dancing
and there was ample room for the band too.
We enjoyed working with the lovely and energetic
dance instructor Kim, who got several of our
friends line dancing, now they love it.
Donna K from 96.1 "My country" WJVC Radio
was on hand to greet everyone as well.
Thursday night are country night- check it out.
No cover charge- come as you are!
