New Years Eve  (December 31, 2004) we played at "Copper Crest, at Osceola Lake"
This facility has recently been completely redone and is an elegant place to play.
We had a good crowd and the dance floor was full most of the time.

We are playing there again this year.  Hope it doesn't rain again.

On January 26th, we played a concert at the beautiful new Bo Thomas Auditorium located at Blue Ridge Community College in Hendersonville, NC.  We shared the stage with the Pat Shepherd Dancers of Hendersonville and Kevin Ayesh of the college.  The concert was a fund raising event for the Opportunity House in Hendersonville and everyone enjoyed the music and the dancing.  It was a thrill for the band to perform for a sold-out auditorium.
