New Years Eve is near...Make your reservations NOW!

Our spotlight will be on Doug Shicks family this week. Doug is one of worlds greatest crew persons a band could ask for. You will see Doug running spotlight for us. He and Dave Kastrup are responsible for how we sound and look. They show up first and unload the truck and set up the stage at every gig. We couldn't do this without them. THANKS GUYS!

First of all a Happy Birthday to Debbie, Doug's wife. She celebrated her birthday at Bar Seventy-One on December 5th. They had cake and we played one of her favorite songs "Locomotive Breath".

 

Next a BIG THANK YOU goes to Dave Soete, Doug's son-in-law. He is the artist that designed our Caricature.

With the most recent changes in BlueStone Ivory it was necessary for Dave to make a few updates. He added Mark on bass and shaved Gary's mustache to match his brand new hairless upper lip look.

This is really a fun photo. We have a blast using as often as we can. As a matter of fact, everyone attending the New Years Eve Event at the Marriott Hotel this year will be receiving our 2010 magnet calendar with this photo attached. You will be able to display it on your refrigerator and mark all the BSI gigs on your handy calendar.

We do engagements and weddings too.

Many of our fans know us from Jim & Jack's, Carlo & Johnny, Bar Seventy-One, Guys N Dolls and many others know us from the many church festivals and community concerts we play throughout the summer. Many know us from Coney Island (one of our favorite places to play).

Lots of folks don't know that we play wedding receptions and private parties for anniversaries, birthdays or company parties. In fact we love to tailor an evening with a theme. Something we get to prepare for and deliver a special performance.

 Teresa & Byron Vance did a remarkable thing this year. A couple of months ago in front of the band stand in the middle of the dance floor Byron, with our microphone in hand, got down on one knee and re-proposed to Teresa.

Of course she said yes!

Their original wedding day was November 24, 1979. Almost 30 years later they retied the knot on November 21, 2009 and came to Jim & Jack's to celebrate with us. Congratulations Teresa & Byron. We were proud to play at your engagement party.
