"STREETCORNER HAPPENINGS", by Jackie December 29, 2014


STREETCORNER HAPPENINGS,   by Jackie  12/29/2014

 
WE WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR.
  WE HOPE THAT 2015 IS A SPECTACULAR YEAR FOR ALL OF OUR STREETCORNER FRIENDS.
 
WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND FRIENDSHIP DURING THE YEAR 2014. 
 
IT'S BEEN A YEAR OF NUMEROUS AND WONDERFUL EVENTS AND WE ARE EXCITED TO BRING IN THE NEW YEAR WITH EXCITEMENT AND FRESH ENTHUSIASM.
 
Last night STREETCORNER played at Duckett's Sports Pub in Pontiac. 
Look for us there once again the last Sunday in Feb.  (Feb. 22) 5-9 pm.
 
As always Duckett's was THE place to be for great music,  but also a fun place to meet with friends, old and new.
 
We celebrated the birthday of our friend Mary who ducks and hides every time I approach her with a camera.  Happy Birthday Mary.  She is also our Travel Agent and the wonderful lady that has worked so hard to set up our upcoming Hawaiian Wedding.  She has been fantastic and lead us through all of the documents and unfamiliar paperwork necessary to put something so special together.
Thank you Mary from both Bob and I. 
 
The STREETCORNER music was as usual FANTASTIC.  The dance floor was always crowded and rockin. 
 
 
 
 
SING IT STREETCORNER
 
We had friends come spend the evening with us all the way from Louisiana.
Hello, Cleveland and Betty.  Thank you for joining us.
 
As always,  it's great to have our close friends join us.
Thanks and we love you Jan and Bob.
 
Art & Sarah joined us along with our long time friend Barb.
You guys are wonderful.
We're so excited to have you join us for New Years Eve.  Wow !!
 
We love it when our friends come to party with us.
Sarah is also often my dance partner while Bobby is playing.
 
The funny thing is..................EVERY time Sarah and I are together people ask if we are sisters.
There hasn't been ONE time that someone didn't comment on how nice it is to have a sister to dance with.
Now................we'll NEVER tell which one of us is the oldest. 
  Shhhh, secrets are meant to be kept.
Love you Sarah.
 
Bob and I wish you a safe and happy New Years Eve.
May 2015 bring you all the peace and joy you dream of.
 
Thank you for supporting STREETCORNER during 2014 and we all look forward to sharing another wonderful year with you.
 
Love & Friendship,
Jackie

STREETCORNER HAPPENINGS ............. BY, JACKIE

                                   STREETCORNER HAPPENINGS, DECEMBER 16, 2014

                              Welcome to our 9th edition of "STREETCORNER HAPPENINGS". 

                                                                
 
STREETCORNER would like to wish you all a wonderful holiday, from all of us to all of you.
 
During the Christmas season we know how life can be hectic and busy.  We hope that you are able to take some time for yourself and enjoy the things in life that are truly important.  Family and friendships are always the first things that come to mind when we put priorities in order.  The friends that we've made through music and reaching out to new people that come to listen to STREETCORNER have added additional blessings to our already full and wonderful lives.  We hope that you feel as enhanced and blessed as we do after meeting and getting to know us. 
 
Our schedule has been so full with weekend shows that it's rare for us to have a Saturday evening off.  How incredible to look over our monthly schedule and see that there are so many repeat jobs and through those,  many new opportunities added.  I cannot tell you how the word of mouth and positive recommendations help us to continue to build the reputation of this fantastic group. 
 
This past Saturday, December 13, 2014 STREETCORNER played at a new venue for us.  Springfield Inn Bar and Grill in Davisburg was a first for us, yet not the last.  The crowd loved STREETCORNER so much that we have been invited back to play on Feb. 28 and March 28 from 8:30-11:30 both evenings.  The address is 10197 Dixie Hwy., Davisburg, Mi. 
The Springfield Inn isn't a large place but it's certainly a place with a large heart.  The owner, Jay Kais treated us like old friends and introduced us to many of his regular crowd.  We all danced together like we had been friends for years.  Such warm welcomes are so appreciated when you walk into a completely new arena.
 

                                                              Our host Jay Kais.

Jay and some of his regular crowd.  Awesome people !!
 
 Jay and the birthday boy that was turning 21 that day.  Wow, Happy Birthday.  It's always fun to be able to share these special times with new friends.  We look forward to seeing you again soon.
 
STREETCORNER  ...........Rockin the evening.
 
The one and only Les dancing for the crowd.  Is he really the "60 Second Man"?????
 
Dan the Man showing the crowd his stuff.
 
Evelyn was a huge crowd hit as always. 
 
Thank you Jay and friends for receiving STREETCORNER with open and friendly arms during our evening with you.  We all look forward to returning on Feb. 28.
 
This coming Saturday, Dec. 20 we will be at Airway Lanes, 8:30-12:30.  The address is 4825 Highland Rd. ,  Waterford.   Come on out and enjoy the evening with us.
 
Until then, have a wonderful week.
 
 
See you soon,  Jackie

STREETCORNER HAPPENINGS *CORRECTION, DECEMBER 1


JUST AS I POSTED MY NEWEST STREETCORNER HAPPENINGS EDITION, WE JUST HAPPENED TO NOTICE AN ERROR.

"OH NO",  I SAID AS BOBBY POINTED IT OUT TO ME.

WHERE I INCORRECTLY WRITE  "ALONG COMES SATURDAY NIGHT, NOVEMBER 30"
IT'S CORRECTLY SUPPOSED TO READ.............
ALONG COMES SUNDAY NIGHT, NOVEMBER 30.

I'M SURE YOU CAUGHT THE MISTAKE AS WELL AS WE DID, BUT JUST TO BE SURE I HAVE TO MENTION IS SO NO ONE CAN SAY,

  "OMG, DOESN'T SHE KNOW HER DAYS OF THE WEEK?"

HENCE, HERE YOU GO, CORRECTION MADE.

THANKS ONCE AGAIN,
JACKIE

STREETCORNER HAPPENINGS, DEC. 1, 2014

STREETCORNER HAPPENINGS, DEC. 1, 2014  8TH. EDITION

If I had a nickel for every time someone complimented STREETCORNER on the music, style, class or what a great evening they provided......WE WOULD BE RICH IN FINANCIAL WEALTH !!

What we are rich in is commitment, friendship, loyalty and the  wonderful feeling of family. 
In reality, it doesn't get any better than that.

We had such an exciting and rewarding Post Thanksgiving Weekend.  You can only imagine what a relieved feeling it is to know that you have loyal friends that are willing to come out to support you at your events.  Especially when there are so many other bands, dances and other options available to them.  How can you explain the warm fuzzy feeling of seeing their smiling faces walk through the door in support of their favorite MoTown group?  Words aren't easy.

Such a terrific weekend just passed and I would love to share a tiny bit of it with you.

Saturday, Nov, 29 STREETCORNER played at Airway Lanes in Waterford.
We had birthday and anniversary celebrations that  STREETCORNER honored and became part of.
It is always a pleasure to acknowledge friends that share those special days with us.
                                                  THANK YOU !

Here is the birthday girl June dancing with her friends to the music of STREETCORNER.
Happy Birthday June, we're so glad you and your friends enjoyed the evening with us.
 
Darlene and Gary celebrated their Wedding Anniversary with us as well.
Happy Anniversary to you from STREETCORNER.


The lady in the gray shirt is Sheila.  She manages Airway Lanes and is the person that books us.
Thanks so much Sheila, you ROCK !!
 
 
As always STREETCORNER rocked the night away.


Sing it Les.  He's the   "60 Minute Man"


Go Bobby Go, " Rockin Robin"  at it's finest.


Here they are..................STREETCORNER, singing to you.

Along comes Sunday night, November 30 the very next evening.
Duckett's Sports Pub in Pontiac with the monthly Doo Wop And Dinner .
Another spectacular evening filled with more birthdays and celebrations.

Here we have our beautiful friend Jan with her friend Bob enjoying food and music.


Like I said, they have great food.  Filmel munches on one of their sliders.  Go Filmel.
We always enjoy the great company of Jan.  She is such a lovely lady.

 Did I tell you that she helped me pick out a WEDDING DRESS for my upcoming wedding to Bobby?  Such a great friend she is.  I am so blessed and grateful.



Did I ever mention that my Bobby Carroll learned and dedicated a beautiful song on his trumpet for me?  The name of it is  "To The Aisle".   Every time he plays it I feel so loved.  Here he is playing this special tune.  Thank you Bobby.



"Rockin Robin" sung by the one and only Bobby Carroll.


The beautiful Evelyn Martin can sing  "Crazy" like no one else. 


Sing it to me Filmel.




Thank you once again for taking a moment to browse through our weekend.

 We hope that you join us next Saturday, December 6 at the St. Clair Shores Moose for their annual Christmas Party
.(3378 Harper Ave., Clinton Township, 48035)  STREETCORNER plays from 7:00-12:30 so come join us for a fun evening.
I know it will be spectacular. 

Until then, have a wonderful week.
Jackie
