ABBA Concert January 16, 2014

The New ABBA



We did a concert down in the Palm Springs area at the McCallum Theatre backing up the group ABBA. Most of the personnel have changed but the original drummer was still there.. We did all of their well known songs ie. I Do I Do I Do, Mamma Mia, Gimme Gimme, Dancing Queen. It was a real pleasure to perform some of their classic standard tunes. It went well, and the audience was dancing in the aisles.

Palm Springs String Quartet 3/29/14


Life in Palm Springs!
We did a String Quartet for a Gay couple in the Palm Springs area.  This engagement was unusual because the client  not only chose the music for the ceremony, he chose the music for the entire engagement.  Usually the clients are only interested in the music for the ceremony, because the songs they choose have a specific meaning to them.  He actually chose a variety of classical music (Baroque, etc.) and songs from Broadway shows. So it was quite a mix of  selections.





Anyway, we started the prelude music, and then went to the ceremony.  In walks Barry Manilow with his dog and sat down (Barry and the dog).  The ceremony went very well, and then everyone adjourned to the hors d'oeuvres and enjoyed the company.  We were approached  by several guests and were complimented on the selections and performance of the music.  These are the things we want to hear!!
