JCs Restaurant - 12/3/11 - Manorville, New York

Photobucket

Tonight was Tiffany's first performance with us in front of an audience and she certainly rose to the occasion more than can be expected from most with so little time to properly prepare and only one dress rehearsal under her belt. Regaling the crowd with impersonations of Joan Jett, Debbie Harry, Cyndi Lauper and Madonna she was literally out in the crowd demanding (in a proper way) more people to the dance floor of which particularly J.C. and myself were pleasantly surprised. I said to Dave at one point between songs "She's pretty good isnt she ?" as a side note Tiffany's rebellious stage came at the tender age of 12 so this may explain things.

Debuted at this show was "I Love Rock & Roll" by little Joanie Jett.

For all the Billie Jean and Nancy fans out there, Don't worry we are not letting her off that easy, she is still playing New Years Eve (at the Heritage) and a private party with us.

J.C. and Spike play along happily dressed in red (J.C. is even wearing a red belt). Dave was dressed in red as well, This was NOT planned, see the photo below.

Hey that's NOT Joan Jett, That's Madonna !!!

Thanks for taking the pics Sarah.

Famished and on the Q train at a godforsaken hour I realized I had a Chinese Ham & Cheese Bun in my presence and proceeded to take care of that.

JCs Restaurant - 8/20/11 - Manorville, New York

Photobucket

A Double Header weekend for us as the band has a late night show at JCs (two long sets) and an afternoon appearance tomorrow at Claudios (three not quite as long sets as the longish sets the night previous) and it was nice to return to JCs Restaurant amongst its plush and beautiful flora. The band played really well and premiered tonight were "Sister Christian" and the Classic purple chestnut "Lets Go Crazy"

Dave offered me a piece of Chicken Quesadilla (not pictured) which was Delicious (Thank You Dave) but not quite as good as the Quesadilla from the Heritage Pub which has yet to be topped, this will become an ongoing topic if all goes as planned.

It did become more crowded than this. This was taken at LIKE Eight Thirty!!! (it was).

I missed photographing the moment when J.C. cracked Dave's back, but this is right after.

JCs Restaurant - 4/2/11 - Manorville, New York

An active motion of intent such as taking photos of people in action as opposed to musicians and performers in action oftentimes will reveal a photo such as the one above, Well... I Like It A Lot.

JCs Restaurant was a great place to play with a circumference riding veranda (overrated patio) outdoors and on the inside in the bar a nice wooden stage and widescreen monitors arrayed behind keyboardists ,drummers and those who play with their back (or fronts) to the wall. The crowd was into the music and dancing which grew proportionately as the evening wore on the band got hot and more drinkies were imbibed. This was the night when Billie Jean (bless her heart) drove Spiccoli and me back to our red eye LIRR train (or face a 2 hour delay) to make the 2:10 a.m. to Penn Station and in my fleeing haste I left my cellphone at the gig (on top of the floor tom is what my minds eye tells me) which was retrieved by Doc Brown and is currently being held for questioning.
