Date Night


Tonight we had a little date night at the Princess Theatre. The Del McCoury Band performed and they were fabulous. We are now officially bluegrass fans. Ashley and Charlie Ashwander and Marianna and Ryan O'Dea also came out and joined in on the fun.
It was great. The show was completely sold out and die-hard bluegrass fans were shouting song requests to the band. We didn't know too many of the songs they played but enjoyed all of them. We also learned that the core band members were born in York, PA, the same town in which my dad was born.
Artist Sloane Bibb also designed an original silk-screen concert poster, all of which were signed and numbered. Proceeds benefit the Princess and its arts education program. Several are still available at $30 each. The Cole family opted against a poster because "we have no blank wall space," but I'm still working on getting the go-ahead to buy one.
Anyway, if the Del McCoury Band is coming to your area please check them out. You won't regret it.
