bluegrass halloween party!

October 27th, 2008

The band had a great time this past weekend performing at the Sherman’s Halloween party. What a great group of family and friends! Passing the pumpkin to Clinch Mountain Backstep was awesome!

Goodtime Spencer has confirmed that Rhode Island is his second favorite state (next to Massachusetts). Nicki Singleton and Ryan Spraker of the original Hard Times band completed the group and great bluegrass sounds were made!  What is it about the calzone in Rhode Island? I think it may be the best I’ve ever had!

The band had the pleasure of performing on Saturday night at Wheaton College in Norton, MA. Yodelin’ Alan Kaufman and Suz Slezak (of the David Wax Museum) did a wonderful job of singing and playing twin fiddles! Waltzes were played, yodels were yodeled and hot chocolate cookies were eaten - it was a goodtime indeed!

Original Goodtime Charlie member Mike Kenney did a tremendous job on bass (as always).  It was certainly a blast to perform with him again!

The band had a fun time performing this past weekend at Lynn’s surprise birthday party in Plymouth, MA.  The party was right up the street from Plimoth Plantation at a beautiful ocean-front property.  Hubbie Allan really did it up for his wife by getting a GREAT group of folks together for the celebration.

After the big surprise moment, the Goodtime band did their famous (or infamous) bluegrass version of “Happy Birthday.”  The entire party sang along  for the “Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy….” verse! It was quite a hoot!

Thanks for letting us be a part of the fun!
