RANGER REPORT - March 28, 2012 (Jim Cavanaugh's Birthday)
MIGHTY MANATEES TOUR CENTRAL AMERICA! - Earlier this month, The Mighty Manatees played a series of club shows on the island of Roatan off the coast of Honduras. While there, the band played a free concert at a school for island children. We also took the time to swim with some friendly dolphins. On our last day there we played a sunset concert at one of the top ten beaches in all of the Caribbean. It was spring break AND St. Patrick's Day! Good times...
Very special thanks to Doug White, Lynn Dee, Brion James, Dave Barons, and Adi & Eva from Lands End Resort. www.landsendroatan.com
THE MIGHTY MANATEES OFFICIAL FACEBOOK PAGE! - After many attempts we have finally consolidated everything into one official Facebook page. Special thanks to Manatees keyboardist Mana-Andrew Geltzer for putting it all together.
