Week of 7/3 -7/4
Another great weekend of work for the Topcats. We want to thank all of you that came out on Friday night for our 60's show at Rock n Bowl. It was thrill for us to play that music. We took some time in weeks before to relearn some songs we used to play and we learned some we've never played before. It's great to be able to add some new things to the old Topcats repertoire. We should have put up a sign up at the front door "THERE WILL BE NO BACKING UP THE ASSES TONIGHT". Such a great crowd of friends. So many people dressed in 60's psychedelic… headbands and peace signs throughout. John was thrilled with the turn out. So much so that we are already planning for another 60's show some time later in the year. Stay tuned in and turned on for that. Want to mention also that a young band called Meduzza played after us. They were good… not 60's…but good. Check them out when you can.

Saturday, Independence Day, we were at the Blue Crab on the lakefront playing again to a fantastic crowd of people. Thanks to all that came out to bear the heat. We played there from 5 to 9. Back in the 90's on a Saturday night at Amberjacks the bands didn't even start until 11. I couldn't help but think of all the places (way too many to start naming) we've played there along Lakeshore Dr. and West End. On this 4th of July… feeling blessed for the amount of fun, success and the life we've shared with our friends and families over these many years. I always think of our old friend and Topcats brother on 4th of July. Ted Modica used to have parties at his house in Slidell. We'd play and many musicians would show up to just sit in. Plenty of food and drinks friends old and new. A great time. We miss Ted.

So we'll have some time off now and we'll look forward to seeing you soon. As always thank you for your continued support. Peace & Love. God Bless America.
