Well, here we go. We're headed into the weekend and have performances scheduled for tonight (at the Shovelhead Saloon) and tomorrow night (at Pla-Mor Lanes in Hoopeston).
Community support remains very strong, and the band has generated local media interest. Wednesday night, Dale and Anthony were featured in a spot on the ABC Channel 15 Evening News (Champaign affiliate). Thursday, both the Danville Commercial News and the Champaign-Urbana News-Gazette ran stories featuring the band.
The News-Gazette story appeared on page 3 and included a picture of the band performing at the Shovelhead Saloon. The Commercial News story was a front-page (above the fold) feature on Katrina survivors in Danville. This story began with Stranded, and included two pictures from the same gig - one of the band and another of Dale. You can read the story here.
A huge THANK YOU to all who have come out to our shows and shown support for Dale and Anthony. They both appreciate it very much, as do I. A special thank you to Mary Wicoff of the Danville Commercial News for getting us into the paper - not once, but twice! - and for giving us the most prized placement possible for Thursday's article. Thanks to the News Brief in Wednesday's paper, more people came to that night's show. If we're lucky, the Thursday article will help generate even more interest for this weekend.
