2009 was a successful start for a new band. In an attempt to create more show opportunities the Band played on the Board walk in Downtown Traverse City during Cherry festival. That particular time one member of the band was a no show due to an earlier incident. Now the rest of the Band had a decision to make. Do we cancel or with no guitar we do our best with what we had. We decided to persevere and go on and play. This involved extra work for Al (piano) to supply more of the melodies for the vocalist. Dave was asked to supply guitar riffs on his bass. Horn players supplied more or longer solos. It was an O.K. outing as BlueShadow. Knowing what was required as musicians we felt pretty good about it. 
Other notable gigs were the Beach Bash and Monster Bash. On the Beach Bash gig I learned to limbo with a saxophone. It was a fun night. As for the Monster Bash we all dressed up in costume. This included Elvis, Slash, Elvira, a Texaco Man, Sailor, and Funkenstien. Pictures are worth a thousand words. So here are some pictures.
