It’s been awhile since our last blog, so we’ve got a few pictures to show ya. Our pal, Scott Mackay, came out to sing with us (while Mark Eskin played ax) at Chambers in April. Below are some pictures of them snapped by our friends Cindy and Sylvia (who are also pictured). As most of you know, Scott signed off for his last show at True Oldies at the end of March. You can now catch him subbing with his sidekick, Mark Napoleon, at 95.9 FM, The River weekday mornings from 5:30 to 9:00 AM. He and Mark continue to sing along to our Traffic Song each day and for that - we thank them. There’s a little running gag each time they play it that Scott has to let Mark sing the last “oooh” chord without talking over it. (For those of you keeping score at home, that’s an Emaj7).
Speaking of that little ditty, our good Rendfriends, Dennis and Margaret, presented the entire band with red t-shirts featuring all the words to the jingle. Below, Jerry and Kristi are pictured proudly holding up one of the shirts at Manhattan’s. Dennis and Margaret-a big thanks goes out to you, too. The shirts are great! That was a very thoughtful thing to do.
Also pictured below are our new friends we made at Rolling Lanes, Ralph and Sue, plus some of the Sting Ray clan came out to join us that evening- Joann, Ginger, Danny and Ron. Danny and Ron came up on stage and joined us for 3 tunes, with Danny singing Buddy Holly’s Peggy Sue and Ron taking lead vocals on Do Wah Diddy. Thanks, guys.
You have an open invitation to join us any time.
For those of us asking about the progress of our new CD, it is all recorded and now in the mixing/mastering stage. Once that is completed and it is printed and packaged, we should have them available at our gigs. We hope you agree it was worth the wait.
Rock on with Aplomb,
The Renditions
Jerry, Kristi, Neal, Gary, John and Greg
