Pat's Weekly Diary: 12/30
We played a fantastic huge wedding on Saturday night at Southern Oaks. It's been some time since we were last there. Lots of friends at the reception. Lot's of dancing. The floor stayed packed for the entire reception. Congratulations to Maddy & Tyler Bartlett. And a special thanks to Bobby Asaro of Southern Oaks for his hospitality. He and the staff there really make us feel welcomed. As they have many times in the past. At this time of year when one is supposed to take stock of the past year and prepare for the coming year… let me say how truly blessed we (the Topcats) are to have been able to make music for you guys all these many years. You know it's a pretty cool way to make a living. We play music while (generally speaking) we look out to see people are singing along or dancing along. Generally people are smiling and happy. Just out having a good time. What a privilege it is for us. I can't imagine a better way. Nor can I imagine what else I could have done for these many years. So Merry Christmas everybody. Hope your holidays are joyful.
"It's coming on Christmas
they're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace"
We'll see you at Boomtown on the 27th.
