Hey All You Party People!
Been awhile since we've convened on the blog paper but my guest blogger hasn't taken over as of yet! LOL He will and it will be on! I wanted to write in to wish everyone a very safe and Merry Christmas. Make sure you have tickets to the New Years Eve Celebration on Shem Creek this year. Gonna be serious! During this time of year we in the group tend to reflect back on the year and recall the great times we had. We all participate in the Party Band for many reasons. One of which we genuinely like each other! This is our second family. We think of each other that way and act accordingly. Each member fills a special place in the other's life and so in reality, this group is more than just a business, an artistic outlet or something to do in our spare time. I have never experienced this level of "family" in any other group I have ever been associated with in my performing career.
I wanted to take this opportunity to let each person who reads this know that this group IS special in many respects. I would also like to take this opportunity to recognize everyone in our organization. They have meant the world to me over the past 2 years and all I have/am going through. There is no words to express how I truly feel, but I think they know! Below is our organization from top to bottom:

Beverly Tankersley- Vocals
Mike Shuler- Guitar, Partner/Owner
David Fuller- Keys, Vocals
