Thanksgiving Ranger Report - Nov. 23, 2009

Thanksgiving wishes to all of our Mighty Manatees "Fanatees"!

The regular Tuesday night shows at DaVinci's in Collegeville, PA have really started to take off. Last week Ted The Fiddler jammed with the group on his electric violin and other musicians have begun to drop by and play as well. Jason Crosby (The Blind Boys of Alabama), Walter Tate Jr. and Sister Pat (The Thievery Corporation) will also be upcoming guests...Next show is tomorrow night!

On Thurs., Dec. 31, NEW YEAR'S EVE, The Mighty Manatees will be appearing at The Rising Sun with the full band There will be FREE ADMITTANCE to everyone! A free champagne toast at midnight! Dinner reservations are also available.

The other big gig in December is our HISTORIC return to Reed's in Center Square, PA with "Big Daddy & The Fender Benders" on Friday, Dec. 4! We played our very first ever show at Reed's way back in 1985! Our regular Wednesday nights and Friday happy hours there in the late-80s are fondly remembered...
We will be splitting the bill with "honorary Manatee" Scott Gourley who sings with "Big Daddy & The Fender Benders". (Scott was working at Reed's on the very same night The Manatees made their world debut.) This will truly be a hysterical occasion...

That's it for now, folks!

Give thanks and praise to the most high: JAH!
