Neighborhood Party

Last night we attended a party at our neighbors house.  This is the third one they had like this with a live band in their living room.  We missed the second one because we were in Cali, but we were glad that we were able to get to this one, just three days before we leave.  We can pretend it was a going away party.  The party starts at 6:00 with the food.  Everyone brings something so there is plenty of food.  Our neighbor said that 60 people RSVP'd!  The food and beverages were great & abundant and were being consumed liberally.

At 7:30 the band started playing.  The band they hired for the evening is call "John Cates and the Van Gogh Brothers".  You can read about them on wikipedia here, or you can go to their webpage here.  They have been following this band and another call the Swinging Steaks around New England for at least 20 years.  They had the Swinging Steaks at their last two events.

In order to get more acquainted with John Cates, we even bought 3 of their CDs online and we really liked their music.
