Pat's Weekly Diary: 3/20 - 3/22
The Topcats haven't had a weekend of work quite like this in a while. And we are certainly happy to have it. Friday night we played for the Irish-Italian Dinner Dance pre-parade party at Chateau Estates Country Club. Such a great party that we've had the honor to be associated with for many years. Plenty of friends and familiar faces. It's a great party. Saturday we played in Blaine Kern's Mardi Gras World for a convention party. A nice easy gig. Not a whole lot of dancing but a very nice crowd of people from all over the country just sitting back enjoying being in New Orleans with the food, the music. Right there along side the Mighty Mississippi. Ya gotta love that. Sunday afternoon was in the parking lot at Stepbrothers in Metairie after the Irish-Italian parade. The parking lot is just packed with people on a beautiful afternoon. Another event we've been involved in for many years. And as always it's filled with so many people we know. Thanks to all of you for supporting the Topcats over the past weekend. Thanks for the support over these last 40 something years. It was around this time of the year (Spring… we're not sure of the exact date) in 1983 that Robert joined the band that myself, Buzzy & David had been in bringing the four of us together. What a long strange trip it's been. And it's not over just yet. We are going to hang in there. So here's hoping we'll see you soon.
