It'll take some getting used to...

So I googled my husband's name in conjunction with his "new boss", and came across a site where the members were discussing the Tampa Bay show last Sunday.

They were surprised at the addition of the songs August sang, but the guy who went to the show said he did a "respectable" job.

If anyone says anything negative, I might have to make up a login ID and verbally kick some butt. So far, that doesn't seem necessary.

And as an added bonus, the guy posted these really, really good pictures!

I call this one, "August, this here is a guitar..."

August really likes his new friend, Jimmy.

And that's a wrap!

He said whaaat???

Dennis' feedback on last Sunday's show, as told to August by Tim, the manager:

...

I just spoke with his mgr (Tim) for about 30min, and he said Dennis really enjoys my “child-like enthusiasm”..he told Tim that at the show, he kept looking over at me and seeing how much fun I was having, but also picked up on the fact that behind my perpetual grin was the thought bubble “HOW did I get here!?! Is this really happening to ME?!”

Tim also said Dennis told him “I sang really well tonight, for Tony (LaRussa, his longtime friend and show host)…and for August”…he wanted to impress me on the first show. Me!? Haha…this IS priceless J

SO thankful!!!!!

And so it begins...August's fantastic adventure

January 17, 2010 - St. Louis, Missouri - Stars to the Rescue, a benefit concert for ARF (Animal Rescue Foundation). Dennis was scheduled to perform a 6 song acoustic set with his guitar player, Jimmy Leahey.

But he insisted that August come, too.

August met Jimmy and they had an instant rapport. His first show was a success...


Obviously I better come to a show and get some close-up pictures, eh?

Here is Dennis with Jonathan Cain from Journey. (Styx, Journey...two out of three tributes bands are represented right here!)

Jimmy, Suzanne (Dennis' wife of 40 years), Tony LaRussa (manages/owns? St Louis Cardinals), Dennis, and my happy, happy husband.

Did I mention happy, happy husband? And so...the journey begins....

He will be rockin' the paradise...stay tuned!
