Hi gang!
Mike’s Cleveland Music Club Jam Night lost one of their regular jam family last week with the passing of drummer, Tom King. He was a regular jam night attendee back in their Doc and Louie’s days and followed them when they moved back to Bullfrog’s. He was almost always the first one there and one of the last to leave. You could tell he loved music, and (like Mike) Sonor drums. Condolences to Tom’s family from all of us at Shady Drive.
Shady Drive shows at Aces Grille and Fairview Tavern were a great time! Thanks to Sandy, Ken, Rita, Matt, Gerald and everyone else who came out this past weekend despite the weather!
Coming up this week…
Mike hosts the Cleveland Music Club – CMC Jam on Tuesday at Bullfrog’s Sports Cafe (33137 Center Ridge Rd., N. Ridgeville, 8:30 – 12:30). This week’s guest hosts are ’Furious’ George Hartwig and Gary ‘G Rock’ Stulak! The CMC Jam is sponsored each and every week by Dirty Town Guitar and Amps (15230 Madison Ave. Lakewood)! Full backline (two guitar amps, bass amp, SONOR DRUMS and PA) is provided, so bring your favorite axe, sticks or just your party attitude and dancin’ shoes and come join the fun!
