Manzo's - November 19
For history buffs, November 19 is the anniversary of the Gettysburg Address in 1863.  So what better way to celebrate than a party at Manzo's!  We had many requests that night and we hope we got to all of them.  Sometimes it's hard to remember everything!

Doc & Louie's - November 12
What a great party!  We gave away a lot of BRADFORD WHITE bumper stickers that night!  The highlight of the evening, though, has to be the appearance of Debbie's third grade teacher, Miss Gallagher (but you can call her Claire).  She's becoming quite the groupie!  If possible, you have to meet Claire.  She's quite a lady.  Debbie from North Olmsted almost had to be dragged out - even though she had to get up for work at 7 a.m. the next day!  It's okay, we'll be back in December.

Kurt's surprise party - October 23
Kurt had no idea!  At an undisclosed location, known only as "The Pit," we brought the house down.  Actually, we weren't in a house; we were outside.  This had to be the latest in the year we've ever played outside.  However, it wasn't the coldest - Karen's surprise party was (at 44 degrees) way back in '02.  I hope we don't break that record!  The bonfire was amazing and it's the only time in our history we played in a loading dock pit!

Willow Lake Park - October 9
It's the big Halloween party!  Thankfully, the weather held out.  But it's sad to see the empty swimming pool!  The costumes were fantastic!  First prize went to the turtle costume - which has hard to see as he crept along the floor!  As always the bonfire lit up the whole place.  Thanks for a great season!  See you next summer!

C. Mulligan's - April 24
Mood:  a-ok
Now Playing: Now that was some gig!

That was some gig!

 

April 24th at C. Mulligan’s was indeed, a special gig.

Anybody who knows Bradford White keyboard player Debbie Z. (long blond hair, no shoes), might know that she & her husband Geoff have the same birthday – and that day happens be on April 24^th! 

NASA friends, relatives, and countrymen showed up. But even more importantly, Donna brought cupcakes!

After blowing out candles, Rendezvous guitarist Geoff Kelleher sat in for a few songs. Helping to add to the festivities, our old buddy Vince Lucente sat in on drums, too.

It was over all too soon, so when the crowd yelled, “One more, one more!” we were happy to oblige.  Seems no one wanted to go home that night.  Thanks to everyone!  That was some gig!

 

 

Progress So Far

Topic: How are things?

Things are going pretty good. We’re all getting along - We’re learning new songs -  “What are they?” you might ask.Well, we couldn’t tell you now because we’d rather have you be surprised, pleasantly, we’d hope. Yeah, you’ll like ‘em.

Damien is fitting in like an old friend you haven’t seen for sometime and when you get back together, it’s like he never left.

Bob has first, put down his crutches  (If you were at the last Doc & Louie’s show, you would have noticed Bob sitting down while playing, but executing his parts beautifully.) Then he went to a cane at the Cebar’s show and this show coming up, if the last rehearsal was anything to go by, Bob will be sans cane. You don’t have to be a doctor to see that Bob’s mobility is coming along just fine!

Looking forward to the next show at C. Mulligan’s on the 24^th of this month.

Had our first gig with a retuning member, Damien. Since our previous bass player, Roy left, Damien offered to, “fill in” until we get someone, or he just might stick around. The jury's still out on that one, but, none the less, the band sounded quite good, “right out of the box” as one member put it, at Doc & Louie’s on St. Patrick’s day. Those of you who couldn’t make it, you missed a good one. But they’ll be other opportunities, just keep checking our website for the lasted addition of gigs.

Stuff About The Band, "Bradford White"
Mood:  a-ok
O.K., so we’ve had a bit of time off.

In fact, this has been the longest time off for this band in years.

Those of you who know us and have seen us probably know that we're a fairly hard-working bunch of people.
But, for various reasons, we’ve taken the time because frankly, we need it.
We have a few surprises in store for you when you see us next time.
Can’t tell you now because it wouldn’t be a su rprise then, would it?
But rest assured, we’re working hard to make your listening to Bradford White as good of an experience  as you have every right to expect.
We don't have to tell you that change is sometimes a good thing.
That is true in our case.
