| A Word from Josh: Yet again, we had perfect weather on a day when it was absolutely necessary. Tobacco Heritage Days is another one of those quaint small town festivals with rides for the kids and above-average food. This was the closest we would be to Madison with an all-ages show all summer and I was glad to have some family members in attendance. I even rode with some of them on the Ferris wheel during our break. Although this was Cherry Pie's first visit to Tobacco Heritage Days, it was not completely foreign to us. I played here with one of my earlier bands back in 1991 and Rico played here back in 1999. We both agreed that the event hasn't changed all that much. Our first set was witnessed by a "polite" crowd of three or four hundred. Some of our first few songs were greeted with what I would call a "golf clap". Still, we could tell that our show was being well-appreciated in that small-town sort of way. And, of course, things did get more exciting as the night went on; even a little too exciting at one point when three or four women got into a major fight near the stage as we played resulting in a couple of arrests. But that behavior was certainly the exception on a very pleasant night for some outdoor live music. --Josh Were you at this show? Would you like to comment on it? ROCKIN REED: "What a night!!! Everything from rockin music to catfights. Who were they fighting over Lucious???? All in all a great time. Keep Rockin us like a hurricane." Cat Fighter: "You guys rock! I had such a blast when it all turned upside-down, litterally. I was rocking one minute and the next minute I was jumped. I guess some people can't handle other people having more fun and rockin harder. Keep rocking, I know I will." Bittersweeteus: "As the CP guys were preparing for the start of their show, the crowd was growing with anticipation. When CherryPie arrived on stage, they were fueled up and ready to start their engines. They let go with such tire-burning energy, it was as if they were drag-racing down the track to reach their final destination, a cheering crowd. John, who is ram tough and built to last, was so revved up and power-driven, it's a wonder he didn't loose control. By the end of the show, it was evident that CherryPie won their prize, a cheering crowd. And to show their appreciation, the CP guys played an encore that pleased the crowd even more!!" |
