This video was shot by the hermit on a July night in 2010.  Minus the feedback problem at the beginning (which I know how to fix), it’s not half – bad. I can hear Becca’s piano playing and she’s having some fun with it.  Hull Bay is one of those venues where the band feels at home, and the crowd is right there with us.  We have our new stage lights as you can see  and something about having stage lighting makes it feel more like a show !  We have a whole contingent of dancing ladies who come out to share the joy – we’ll try to include shots of them in the next video !!

The Rocky Horror Show is barreling full speed ahead to St. Thomas – like a tropical storm !!!

Opening night is October 14th, 8 days from now. Pieces are falling into place and the show is   getting fine-tuned during this final week of rehearsal.

As long as the cast and band have fun -really have fun with the show–it will be a success. That fun factor is contagious! It will be fun to see how the show evolves, from performance to performance– because in a community theater such as this, each show will evolve and expand upon the previous one.

The band is in place and will coalesce into a rock solid and rocking 6 piece ensemble.

So  “Let the Journey Begin”…

It’s been an exciting and productive week.

Sunday, the Danny Silber trio played at Frenchman’s Cove for a couple of hundred people at a 4th of July BBQ. The crowd was very appreciative.

On Monday, the Becca Darling Band played before a packed house at Latitude 18, and again the crowd was very appreciative as well as generous – they kept throwing money at the stage. It at first startled Becca, but she then realized that it’s a high compliment

and a Greek tradition ( there was a party of roughly 30 folks from Greece).

On Wednesday, the band met up at ISW Studios to begin work on our first “studio”

recording. It’s going to be all originals and Morgan is going to be the acting producer. Things are definitely looking up for the Becca Darling Band – Jim Tunick will be the Executive Producer.

On Thursday, I played solo Piano at the Northside Bistro and thought I played quite well ! I just love that place, and hope more folks find out about it – It’s got a wonderful ambiance, plus great food and great staff – and with a grand piano – well there’s nothing else like it on St. Thomas !!

Saturday night I’ll be at Hull Bay Hideaway with the Becca Darling Band and that’s usually a fun gig – a lot of our “northside” fans usually show up and It’s a laid back casual hang.

Sunday the Danny Silber Trio will be playing at Emerald Beach Resort for some good cause which I should know – I’ll find out. the trio consists of Denise Hummer, a fine jazz vocalist, and Paul Dirks on Bass.

The Becca Darling Band will be appearing at Hull Bay Hideaway on Sat. April 17th. On this date we have  Ras Abijah subbing for Morgan. The band has some new dance tunes that we may try out. Hull Bay always feels comfortable for the band since most of the band lives on that side of the island. We hit at 7pm.

Morgan and Becca "feelin it"!!

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!!
