It seems unbelievable… that we are starting to wind down 2021;it was a year that went by quickly.. and sometimes ..really seemed to DRAAAG along.
When I think about this past year I feel so grateful for friends and family and music family .. so lucky to have so many spectacularly smart and talented people in my life.. and team outragepus8 would like to send thanks for the support of our friends and family and music lovers.
Looking back, I feel so sad about the loss of my dear friend Mary Ianicchieirri.. who passed withCOVID.. earlier this year. Mary, really loved music.. she would dance in the back of the room.. while we played .. She’d bring her grandkids to the shows, and they were in LOVE with seeing the instruments .. and the players.. . She used to hang out with Jackson Brown and Bonnie Raitt up in Nor Cal…she confided in me:)
Mary and I worked in Props together, and the DAY..that Mary found out about Daboyz and I putting together the Outrageoous8 ? Mary just showed up , unasked, with homemade hot pot of chili at rehearsals.. and sold t shirts at our block parties.. when we were still masked and safe distancing.. and doing music.
We all share in these losses.. on some level.. it just hurts still. Little by little , we seem to be healing.
As this year has gone on …The Outrageous8 have been steadily working on our new record .. it’s entitled “LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL”
in keeping with our universal feeling of recovering from the loss and the grieving ..and tragedies of these past few years.
As The Holidays approach … Here’s hoping we treat each other a little better, and are a little more patient with each other..as we all share these losses and the joy.
Xxoo
