Yesterday, Jackie and I had the opportunity to enjoy one of the best shows we have ever seen. The Jive Aces performed at the Maxwell C King Center in Melbourne, FL – about an hour drive from Orlando. This was a Sunday matinee and the house was full. Not one, not two, not three – yes, four standing ovations by the audience. This group has been together for a long time and it is obvious how smooth and rehearsed they are. No wonder they almost won the 2012 edition of Britain’s Got Talent. If the Jive Aces are coming to your town, get your tickets early. They will sell out. You do not want to miss their show. For more information, check out their website.
New York City – APAP 2015
Mother Nature was not kind to us at this year’s Association of Performing Arts Presenters (APAP). Windy, rainy and cold. And more cold. I brought two sets of gloves. There is a reason why I live in Florida. If it gets below 70 degrees, we don’t pay state income tax.
Irish Fest!
Jackie and I just returned from Irish Fest for the second time in four years. I love the city of Milwaukee.
If you haven’t been there – you should. I would vacation there every year if time allowed.
Once again the weather was perfect – although the folks from Ireland were a bit surprised at 75-80 degree weather.
We had a lot of clients performing. The Red Hot Chilli Pipers were taping for a DVD.
Dublin!
The Dublin (Ohio) Irish Festival just finished a spectacular three-day weekend. Our Accounting Coordinator Extraordinaire, Linda Willis was there with her husband to see a number of our clients perform. Here is a photo of Linda with We Banjo 3. When you look at their website, there are four of them. Maybe next year, there will be five……….
A great pic of We Banjo 3 performing onstage.
Working for the Weekend!
Last night, Jackie and I went to the outdoor concert here in Orlando to see our client Loverboy. It was a Fabulous show and the packed crowd went nuts.
I have not stopped singing their songs, and fortunately for the neighbors – not out loud.
Here is an action photo of us with the guys prior to them jumping up on stage. Everyone is laughing because, just before the picture was taken, Mike Reno said I would look a whole lot better if I was wearing a bandana like his.
RED HOT!
Last night we had the opportunity to take a short drive to Ft. Pierce to see the Red Hot Chilli Pipers perform. The Sunrise Theatre crowd had no idea what they were getting ready to experience. Incredible show! We met them at Milwaukee Irish Fest a few years back where they standing room only for every set. If you have never seen Bagpipes that rock – with an attitude – make your plans to see the Chili Pipers next time they come to your town.

New York City – APAP 2014
Mother Nature was kind to us for APAP this year. The weather in NYC was in the 40’s and 50’s. No snow at all during our trip. We were fortunate as the temps had been in single digits prior to arriving and just after leaving. There is a reason why I’ve lived in Central Florida for over 50 years.
globalFEST 2014
Last night I had a chance to attend globalFEST for the first time. What a great experience to watch artists perform at historic Webster Hall on East 11th St. in New York City. Three stages with 12 bands. We had a number of customers performing, and it was a pleasure to be there.
