The Wolfgang (woof)

Randy's Band "The Wolfgang" played this week at Magna Music in the Park.  I think this was one of their best performances. Rachel agrees with me too.  I think it's been a year or so since I heard them last.  

Good job guys!

we spent our evening at the Magna Night Out Against Crime at the pleasant green park. Randy's band "Molly Drive" performed. I got to play photographer for them, and here are the results!!! Randy wouldn't let me post them anywhere but here because he wants to use them for their website. Stingy old man. Enjoy!

Holy Plethera of Weddings!

Did I miss the office memo or something?

Just the other day I'm at Mike's wedding reception. Great, another friend off the list of single buddies. Two weeks ago was Zach Frank's reception. Angela was first, she now has a baby, then Toni. Surprise, another baby (seems to happen in marriage). Then a couple weeks ago Shell calls up, ENGAGED.

GEEZ! Now Tony just tops the whole thing off! (oh, thanks for telling me first by the way Tony. Oh wait, you DIDN'T) All my orchestra/band friends are going to be married by 2009! Sad little me sits in the corner and cries all alone. No, don't set me up with some guy you know. (Unless of course, he's Rich, over 6'4", extremely hot, and plays an instrument)

I'll get over it. Sooner or later. Ya'll better not abandon me though! or else.......I won't baby sit your children.

I forgot to take my camera to Zach's reception, but remembered for Mike's. So here ya go.

Mike calls it a mutual agreement rather than a marriage between him and Holly. She agrees.

Weird.

Cake. Beautimus.

They had a buffet of catered food including roast beef sandwiches, salad, pasta, freash fruit, and crepes. SUCH good food.

Randy invited Charity along. She always keeps things interesting. Oh, she's Randy's non-girlfriend whom he spends every second with. Isn't that a pretty serious commitment asking someone to a wedding reception with you?

Mike caught off gaurd. I would NOT let my husband wear those glasses for my wedding pictures. they may be in style now, but 10-30 years from now? Nope.

Holly the bride. I wish her luck in a life with Mike. She'll need it :)

Randy dresed up as on of the groomsman. Her colors were pink and black. Pink tie!

Pretty flowers.

They had big band swing, sinatra etc., playing the whole time. charity is a ballroom enthusiast and taught Randy how to dance. Here he is with Rachel doing swing. Rahcel took two dance classes last year for gym credits. It was fun to watch. I even got video!

I'm always interested in the cake design. Can't I touch it, PLEASE?!?!?!

Randy and Charity's favorite pose.

blast from the past

I heard Ashokan Farewell on Toni's blog from her playlist, and it inspired me to dig around my music files and find the one that Angela, Tony, Me, Mike and Claudia Senten did our sophmore year. After downloading a program to upload my audio, and then realizing the file was too big, and downloading a MP3 cutter program and fiddling around with that, I finally have a way to post my own music! I hope you enjoy. And yes, the wrong notes were probably all mine. Still sounds pretty darn good for a bunch of high schoolers I'd say! Here is Ashokan Farewell 2002 from Cyprus Solo & Ensamble Concert:

I have Mine and Angela's duet as well, but it sounds so bad (on my part) I've elected to keep it to myself! I'll see if I can find the original CD and post some full band and orchestra recordings!
