October Happenings

Hey, there!

Hope this finds you well….

As if life isn’t fun enough, we’re writing to highlight some music related events for your enjoyment! You may notice that I’ve limited my event listings to music; that’s because there are so many events and many email lists. Because of not wanting to bombard you with too much info, I have decided to highlight music (So logical coming from a musician, right?)

I had a gig on Saturday, October 8th, and had to miss the AWESOME Garden Dinner featuring the very talented Steve Edwards. Heard it was wonderful. We have so much talent in our area it’s staggering!

1. Friday, October 14th, Yarnell Family Diner, Walt Eckes plays from 5pm – 8pm

2. Friday, October 14th, Elks Lodge 2160, Wickenburg, Dinner and Music by Me from 5:30 – 8:30pm

3. Saturday, October 15th – The Yarnell Fire Auxiliary hosts a Wine Tasting, Cheese and Jazz Event at the Yarnell Fire Station, 4pm – 6pm. I have been working up some really cool jazz for your enjoyment. This is a fundraiser for the Fire Auxiliary, benefiting their Firefighter Life Safety Project. $15 per person or $25 per couple includes up to 2 full glasses of wine in a Bistro Setting. Advance Tickets available at the Fire Administration Building or at the door.

4. Friday, October 21st – Third Friday Birthday Night!! Yarnell Family Diner, 5pm – 6pm. Dessert is free if you were born in October. I’ll be playing and we’ll do Trivia. ALSO, we have fine tuned our sound system to be much friendlier at the Diner, since the place has an echo. If you’ve avoided attending because of high volume, come check it out now. We think you’ll be pleased!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO:
Sharon Ball – Oct. 2nd
Kathleen Stowe – Oct. 9th
June Simmons – Oct. 10th
Julia Dockery – Oct. 10th
Donna Gordon

5. Saturday, October 22nd – “Cool October Nights” Wickenburg Country Club. I will playing at the Country Club from 6pm – 9pm, Ringo’s Restaurant. Open to the public, and we’ll give you more details when we receive them!

6. For more events and information, you have many options. Contact Leah Tidey at mail2leahtidey@gmail.com to be put on her list. There are also several Facebook pages – do a search for Yarnell and get the entire scoop.

Keeping July Hot

Hello, Yarnell & Friends!

We hope you enjoyed the Holiday weekend. It’s been awhile since I’ve written – busy days and a trip to visit my mom in southern New Jersey took me away from my usual routine. But, we’ll get caught up right now.

We have some social activities to highlight!

  1. Friday, June 8, 2016 – I will be at the Elks Lodge 2160 in Wickenburg, which serves dinner at 5pm. I usually play 5:30 – 8:30. They have the greatest dance floor….plenty of room if you’re in the dancing mood!
  2. Friday, June 8th, 2016 – Strings Attached will be at the Yarnell Family Diner. We’re glad Walt’s shoulder is all healed up. Since he missed some time at the diner, he is pulling two in a row. So whether you choose Yarnell or Wickenburg for your Friday festivities, you can’t go wrong!
  3. Saturday, June 9th, 2016 – BIG BAND PARTY!!! This is the rescheduled bashed from earlier in June. The party starts at 7pm and many people will be wearing costumes. Costumes are not mandatory, but you’ll enjoy the view and the Big Band Music brought to you by yours truly!
  4. Friday, June 15th, 2016 – IT’S BIRTHDAY NIGHT! 5pm – 8pm Trivia, Dancing, my music…woohoo. Here’s the July Babies:

Did you know there’s free dessert on birthday nights? Pretty cool….

See you soon. Have a great week!
