April 2010 Newsletter

Happy Springtime from Blast From The Past! Hello, its great to be able to give you updates on our group.  We have a lot to share with you about us in general and about new shows that we have booked since the last time we sent an email newsletter.  First of all we hope that everyone is healthy and enjoying the warmer weather that we have been experiencing in the south.  All 4 members of our group are doing great and having a wonderful time spreading the love of the oldies to anyone willing to stop long enough to hear us. Daryl has opened a new business, Barry has purchased his first home, Tiffany is doing well in school and I have been wearing my fingers out on the computer looking for new places to perform.  All in all it has been a wonderful few weeks for us. I have been able to book several new shows for this month: This Saturday, April 10th, in Ft. Deposit, AL for the Calico Fort Festival  www.calicofort.com we will perform from 12 noon - 1pm and again from 3pm - 4pm We are looking forward              to performing for this community for the first time and hope to meet lots of new fans. Monday night, April 12th, at The Wynfrey, in Hoover, AL  (this is a private event) Saturday, April 17th, in Wetumpka, AL for their Riverfest.  We have lots of friends in the                         Wetumpka area and would love to see everyone at this wonderful event. Saturday, May 1st, Smith Lake Park in Jasper, AL.  (this is a private party) I have also booked a show in Heflin, AL and in downtown Birmingham for the month of May but I'll give you more details about that when it get closer to time or you can go on our web site and view all of the information now.  www.blastfromthepastshow.info Speaking of our web site......(drum roll please)  We have updated our web site with more information to include our newsletters online and a fan club area.  Please check out our new look and send me feedback about what we can do to make it more user friendly. We have doubled our "fan club" size over the past 6 months so hopefully that is an indication as to our growing popularity.  We want to make sure that all of our fans feel the love we have for each of you so when you come to one of our shows please come to our CD table area so we can personally thank you for coming!  We want to recognize anyone in our fan club that is having a birthday in the month of May and June, so please respond to this email and give me your birth date information.  I'll get it on the web site as soon as I get it.  I wanted to give you guys an update about our trip to LA.  Me, (Brenda), and David, won a trip to Los Angeles, CA to watch 2 tapings of American Idol on March 16th & 17th.  It was the most wonderful trip EVER!  We had Limo service while in LA and had time to visit the Pacific Coast up to Malibu Beach, and down to Venice Beach and Santa Monica Pier.  It was a great several days and we have hundreds of pictures to show for it. I'd like to give a special thank you to Kevin Adams "Review of the Stars" for making our trip to the Chattanooga and Birmingham World of Wheels shows two of the best weekends that we, as a group, have had.  Not only is he a wonderful performer but is one of the nicest guys you would ever want to meet.  Thanks Kevin!! Hope to see you soon, but until then....May God bless you and your family, Brenda Mitchell for Blast From The Past Acappella Oldies Show 205-681-5911
