We Are The Good Yeggs and are Proud to be a Band from Brooklyn, New York.
After setting up our gear we asked the barkeep to set up some Drinks.
For starters were Three Manhattans which was much desired and we (The whole band, not just myself) sipped at the bar, being a few hours early before the festivities.
Soon after, members of D.L.S. and friends began arriving with home made food for the green room honoring the LEO Celebration. The Three Jolly Pigeons Green Room is oddly yellow though.
There are a few Birthday babies in our clique born under the star sign of Leo (July 22 - August 22) but Vlad "The Viz" and Sylvester "The Syndi-Cat" are the personal friends whom I recall.
I apologize to any LEO's left out at the time of this writing.
While sipping my Manhattan Cocktail I happened to be sat next to Mary Anne who is a Three Jolly Pigeons regular (so far as I know) and asked her what concoction she was imbibing as it was (from top to bottom) Clear, Yellow and Red which was most intriguing.
She informed me that it was Grey Goose (Vodka) with Pineapple juice and Cranberry juice so I ordered one and it was Delicious.
The Spread (Green Room) before it was really laid out.
Veggie Platters, Fruit Platters, Pasta Salad, Chicken Drumsticks, Deviled Eggs, Potato and Macaroni Salad a la Sylvester, Chips and the most Glorious Mac N' Cheese a la Carla.
Someone even made Onion Dip.
I am the Onion Dip Master and this Dip was Jedi worthy.
Thank You D.L.S. for inviting us to double bill for tonights Celebration.
We played two good sets tonight even though I was "speedy" for the first two numbers as informed by Thomas Yegg to myself and thankfully so as our 45 minute set might have been reduced to 30 minutes.
Tonight we premiered Eddie Cochran's "Twenty Flight Rock", The Who's "Squeeze Box", Ray Charles "I've Got A Woman", Merle Haggard's "Swinging Doors" and our original song "Clouds In The Sky".
Thomas premiered his newly acquired 1979 Les Paul custom and thanks to Phil (D.L.S.) for allowing me to utilize his Tama Gladiator Simon Phillips signature Snare Drum for our first set.
Joe dedicated the last song of our first set "Good Enough Is Good" to my old school chum Bobby, (see photo below).
A reunion between myself and my high school friend and Rocker from Band Class Robert, back from when we were just learning how in the heck to play a Musical Instrument in the first place.
Ted & I.
Ted is a really cool guy with quite the sense of humor.
We are both myopically challenged so decided to remove our spectacles for this photo.
Because WE ARE Two Wild And Crazy Guys.
THE LEO CAKE.
3JP Exterior.
This is something I had never actually noticed after performing here many times.
A painting of The Three Jolly Pigeons as depicted by Salvador Dali during his realist stage (1970-1970) (OK I am totally in jest here for anyone taking me serious, I hate to correct a joke but there it is) hanging on the wall above the radiator to the left of the side door entrance.
This painting is quite charming and the parking area does indeed remain standing as in the Illustration.
