NEW YEAR'S DAY

....better known as Hallman+Hoffman.

NEW YEAR'S EVE

I'll be at OLG (Gananoque Casino) New Year's 'eve' 5-8 pm , in the lobby,
Does the song 'Pass Me By If You're Only Passing Through'  ring a bell?
I checked it out, last night. There's lots of room for dancing, but it might be a little nippy.
It would be nice to see some of these folks show up.

RCL VANIER

H+H makes our triumphant return to RCL VANIER, Sunday January 24. (4-8)
It is a weekly dinner -dance. (dinner at 5)   I forget - something like $12.
A good time is had by all as it is an interesting mix of French and English folks.
...well I find it interesting, anyway.

BOXING DAY

I made a mistake!  
H+H is NOT playing on Boxing day at RCL Brockville
(But we ARE playing New Year's day, 1-5)  There is a poster coming soon!

Saturday night in Lyn, Dec.5.

UPDATE TO THIS BLOG:
It was, indeed Tim Hallman and friends - though not the ones I expected. (It's a good thing I have friends). Turns out: Mary Jo was virtually voiceless due too strep throat (Imagine MJ voiceless!)The day before the concert I phoned Michael Myers, and he signed on. So it was the band shown, minus Mj , ....+ MKM and Cliff Trott, the brother of the trumpeter in the poster! So, we rehearsed Saturday afternoon and then went and did the concert. The event was well attended, and $1500 was raised by the church when all was said and done!
This Saturday I'm 'leading' a Christmas Concert at Christ United Church, Lyn..............

A picture's worth 1000 words - Here's a picture.

London Arena

In the fall of 1968, my band, 'The Trendsetters', backed up Bobby Vee at the old London Arena (since torn down) (in front of 3000)
 I'm trying to find an old picture of the arena and am hopeful of finding a pic of the Vee concert (showing me in the BG!) 
So far the only good thing is Glenn Miller in 1942

Oct. 9 at Brockville Arts Centre

I'm 'in the band'. Happy Thanksgiving.

Well... as it turned out - there were 1000 in attendance, on a HUGE stage (which dwarfed me) and a first class PA system run by the great Al Torrance ... and I did my 6 songs to an appreciative audience, and took off. I recommend y'all attend next year, or today!!!
