We just completed a very busy and fun-packed August. It started with Scott Mackay of 94.7 FM joining us at Pete Miller’s in Wheeling on August 3rd. We had a packed house and Scott stopped in to warble a tune with us. The band also got an opportunity to meet Chicago Cubs legend, Ron Santo. Scott returned to see us on the following Friday at Manhattan’s in Carol Stream. This time, one of our favorite bands, The Meteors, also popped in for a visit on one of their rare nights off. Our thanks to those guys!!
We all met up in Woodridge on August 6th to do an interview with Mike Kara for his “Eye on the Community” internet radio show. He did a great a job and you can listen to the entire interview by linking to it from our Introduction Page. We hope you’ll take a few moments to listen. We had a blast doing it. You can also link to his site from our Links page and hear his other interviews with local bands. Thanks Mike.
As I mentioned earlier, August was exceptionally busy. The Rendos worked a private gig in Crystal Lake on 8/17 at Turnberry C.C. and Kristi and Greg also performed at a couple of weddings this month with the G.F. Orchestra. On top of that, some of the Rendos got a chance to catch our own Gary Greenman playing keys with New Colony Six in Hillside on 8/26.
We wrapped up the month in Bloomingdale on Tuesday, 8/28, playing in Old Town Park Gazebo. We had a really nice-sized crowd, who fought off hot, sticky weather and lots of hungry mosquitoes. It also marked the first time Chicago favorite, The Danzman, attended one of our shows. The man never gets tired!! Also, we want to thank Ron and Ginger of The Sting Rays for coming out that night to Bloomingdale. We catch their shows, too, whenever we can!
See you this month and…Rock on with Aplomb!!
