Last Friday night at Hull Bay Hideaway… a few hundred people showed up to express their love and support for two people who have been cultural linchpins of our island community for many, many years ! It was one of those memorable moments, that those of us  lucky enough to be there for … will never forget ! I could go on and on about the wonderful music… but it was more about the Love !

Becca Darling  and Barefoot Davis hosted this incredible evening and did a superhuman job of  coordinating and  orchestrating this event. This was no simple feat – there were many musicians present each of whom,naturally wanted to play- plus raffles, announcements and so forth.  Somehow it all went smoothly !!

This photo was taken last night at Jack’s at Tillett Gardens. The crowd was very appreciative and   also attentive. Randy Baustert our friend and videographer  tried recording the band plus took many pics of which this is one ! We had Paul Cater Deaton on drums – and it’s always nice to have him on the bandstand -he’s fun to work with. Becca showed some skin – she had a mini dress and high heeled shoes and hey-it never hurts to look good ! Heard a quote from Bobby Darin (the singer) that goes “people hear what they see” !

We enjoy the crowd at Jack’s. Almost all locals-we usually know quite a few of them. Plus Becca does a Trivia night there on Tuesdays, and does have a fan base for that! We’ll be playing our usual eclectic mix of  Blues, Country, Rock, R&B, Jazz, and original songs!  We hit at 7:30pm. Come on down and hang!!

This performance was recorded at the Haiti Relief Concert at Yachthaven Grande. Becca’s rendition somewhat reminds me of the sultry Billie Holliday interpretation –but done in her own style. It felt real good to be playing on a major league sound system thanks to Cinque Donovan!!

We’ll be playing at Peg Legs Rum Shack at Yachthaven Grande from 6:30-9:30pm Thurs.Feb.25th!  We’ll be there every other Thursday-until further notice!

We just got booked to fill in on Weds.Feb.10th at latitude 18. We’ll be playing from 7:30 to 10;30PM -so come on down and hang-especially if you’re an” Eastender”! Latitude 18 has live music 7 nights a week plus good food and a great staff!!

“Bernie\” performed at the Haiti Relief Concert\. This was a great day of music and outpouring of support from the community. I was honored to be there!
