Happy January Events

January was great fun for us!

My band, "Bay Society" (8) played for a spectacular wedding at the Kabuki Hotel last month.  The Bride and Groom made their grand entrance into the Dining Room with "The Chair Dance," as we played "Hava Nagila."  It was a ten-minute entrance!!

On January 16, I had the honor of performing a special song I wrote for the 30th Wedding Anniversary of Senator Dianne Feinstein and her husband, Richard Blum.  It was a gift to them from Charlotte Shultz, who had planned their wedding 30 years ago. The song was about the 5,000 guests who showed up and Mrs. Shultz's  memories of it.  It was meant to be humorous and was.  A week later, we were asked to record it, which we did. Can you imagine having a wedding reception with 5,000 guests?!!

I performed a Tribute To Peggy Lee and Frank Sinatra with fabulous vocalist Scott Grinthal at the St. Francis Yacht Club on January 13th.  I have always known about the huge fan base Frank Sinatra still has, but was pleasantly surprised to see how many are requesting Peggy Lee songs.  I will be doing more of her music in the future.

I hope February is good to you!
