Truly an amazing weekend! On behalf of the entire band, thank you so very much to Liz Nowak, WSYR-Bridge Street, the State of NY, and the entire Sammy Team for taking such good care of us! We were so honored, humbled and grateful for this recognition, and the opportunity to have been part of this music community for so long. Saw many long time friends and fans, and made some new ones too. Plus, the added bonus of all the guys being able to reconnect through our musical bond after so long - Priceless! Of course, honoring our late brother Harold was a huge component, and we are so thankful for our friend, Dan Christy, who very humbly helped us navigate through a very emotional process. Thank you Dan for filling in for Harold! Mike Demore for opening his home rehearsal studio for us. Also, this entire reunion would not have happened for us without the constant and encouraging support of our former manager, Matt McDowell. Thank you, Matt! We could go on and on naming all who have been there with us along this journey. Words and thanks are just not enough! Stay tuned, 🎸Love and blessings to all!!❤️
