Hi All,
Good to be back home after a wonderful few days in sunny south Florida. I was honored to be asked to perform along with none other than Clarence Clemons of Bruce Springstein's E Street Band and Wally Palmer of the hitmaking Romantics. ( It just dawned on me that both Wally and myself are both known for wearing red leather at one time or another.)
The show was so much fun. What a crowd. What a super band, The Temple of Soul. And soulful they were. They really shown (is this past tense for "shine"?) during Clarences set. This is their 4th or 5th time backing me up, but Saturday I got to see the complete picture with "The Big Man", and they were awesome. Wally had the audience eating out of his hand with such hits as "What I like About You" and "Talking In Your Sleep". I did enjoy sneaking on stage and singing BG's with Mr. Palmer on Clarence's, "You're A Friend of Mine". Classic!
Thank you Diamond Angels organization for all that you do with the Joe DiMaggio Childrens Hospital. I was just recently told of a child whose family is close friends of two of my band mates, and how they had received care from the hospital for their child. Another success story. Another happy ending thanks to the incredible work they do. http://www.diamondangels.org/
Much more to talk about, the release of "RIVERSIDE" on iTunes (http://ax.itunes.apple.com/us/artist/steve-augeri/id5240301) and Amazon.com. The Steve Augeri Band show coming up on Dec. 10th in Philly at Club 23 East. The on going mixing sessions for my CD, "In the Moment". But for now I'll just enjoy the moment and be thankful for what I've got and wish you all a great day and all the happiness in the world.
Did I mention George Hamilton complimented me on MY tan. (Ha!)
Til we meet again,
Steve
