Busy day yesterday. Besides mud room roof being finished, we had a wonderful rehearsal with the band, for the Fairleigh Dickinson University gig on November 1st, 2008. If you have time and willingness, come and join us. More info below, click on a poster from John Dull. Go to www.dullmusic.com and reserve your ticket. It is a FREE concert and the tickets are going fast.

PA system that was supposed to arrive yesterday, Thursday Oct, 23. 2008, arrived while we were rehearsing. UPS guy just dropped the packages, so another rehearsal without PA went by . One more with all equipment in place coming up. The band is playing very well, it is an exciting time for me. I had only one true band in my lifetime and that was Vrijeme i Zemlja (The Time and The Earth), back in Croatia. I hope to have another one, so we can tour the world.

Also, we caught a mouse.

A new band:

Nenad Bach: vocal, piano, guitar
Richard Lindsey: bass

Mick Hanson: electric guitar

Michael O'Keefe: drums,vocal

Kinny Landrum: keyboards, piano, melodica,vocal

Owned by Croatians. The oldest restaurant in New York. Where Mark Twain and Charles Dickens ate.

Delmonico’s, opened in 1837 as America’s first fine dining restaurant, continues to serve the connoisseur of fine American food in its premier location at 56 Beaver Street, the heart of Manhattan’s financial district. Birthplace of the Delmonico Steak, Delmonico Potatoes, Eggs Benedict, Lobster Newburg, and Baked Alaska, the original Delmonico’s offered unheard of luxury – the availability of private dining rooms, an extensive wine cellar, innovative cuisine, and, above all, warm, personal service. Today, we continue to honor our heritage with the same warm hospitality and fine cuisine. Our menu features many of the traditional dishes as well as a prime Delmonico steak, aged to perfection in our aging room. We hope you will join us as we celebrate culinary history!
