They are ready to go to work...or should I say PLAY?

This is our esteemed crew. We couldn't do any of this without them. And sometimes we and You take them for granted. So we would like you, our fans, to know who is who.

Dave "MONGO" Kastrup is our sound engineer and head crew person. He knows how to pack the truck to fit everything in and protect everything so there is no damage. He is most responsible for our great sound. What you hear out front is entirely Dave's responsibility.

Mark Walker is the youngest of the group. He is only 24 years old but is very responsible and knowledgeable with stage lighting. That is his primary responsibility to light the stage and make us look pleasing to your eyes. I know that sounds like an impossible task for some of us...however he does a great job. And on top of all that Mark helps with the total set up & tear down.

Doug Schick is a real go getter. He usually has an answer for most any situation. His primary job is with the follow spot. So you will see who the soloist or lead vocalist is. He is also there to help with the total set up and tear down.

There you have it. This is our crew. Without these three guys we could not look, sound or play like you expect us. So our hats are off to Dave, Mark and Doug. So the next time you see them say "Thanks for a great job...you guys really deserve a pat on the back".

Don't miss BlueStone Ivory tonight at Jaspers in Mt Lookout 9:00 pm- 1:00 am and then this Sunday evening for our very first outdoor Free concert of the year at Miami Township Community Park  from 6:30 pm till 9:00 pm.

Dave, Mark and Doug will be there as they are the very first to arrive and the very last to leave all of our shows. We have a very busy summer lined up for them and especially for you to go and enjoy the Horn driven sounds of your favorite band BlueStone Ivory. Check out our website for our entire summer schedule.

Let's hear it for the BSI crew! I usually arrive at a concert early and the 3 of them are busy setting up, moving something or just being plain BUSY! But never too busy to say "Hi"! Then as the band members arrive, they join in to get their "stuff" ready for the evening's entertainment. There's a lot of "helping each other" I've noticed, too. It's truly a close-knit family.

I really enjoyed hearing the band again last night...3 weeks is a long time to do without! Everybody looked and sounded great.

See you all Sunday evening. Carol S.
