The year 2003 got off to a bang with
Oracle's performance at the Fleet Reserve Club in Annapolis
Maryland. A sold out crowd danced their way right up to midnight,
when fireworks lit up the Annapolis sky over the harbor. |

January also saw the arrival of Oracle's newest
member...bassist Glenn Jones.
Glenn joined the band at the first performance in January at the
American Legion in Severna Park. He succeeded
Jeff Baxter, whose final performance was two weeks earlier at
New Years.

Jeff
had actually told the band he was leaving several months earlier,
when he announced that he was getting married. On January 18th the
ceremony was held in Germantown with a reception in Gaithersburg.
Oracle was of course on hand to play for the reception, as were
the members of Jeff's previous band, Cross Tie Walker.
The day started around 11:00 loading stuff in. After
putting together a stage that could accommodate the two bands we
were off to the ceremony, then back for the reception, which lasted
until well after midnight. To say it was a long but eventful
day would be a major understatement!

As you may or may not already know, Oracle performs
for a great number of weddings.
This one in early February 2003 had a middle eastern theme, complete
with dancers that wore lit candelabras on their heads as they
ushered in the newlywed couple! Yes...that candelabra is
actually balanced on her head!!!
Oracle shared time with a middle eastern band
performing traditional ethnic songs. All in all this was one
of the more unique weddings we had ever performed at.

Valentines Day found
Oracle at the American Legion Post 175 in Severna Park Maryland.
It was a really great crowd since Valentine's Day happened to
fall on a Friday night.

Also in February Oracle performed at the Baltimore
Bridal Showcase at the Baltimore Convention Center, where we
performed right in our booth for all of the prospective brides and
grooms. There aren't many bands that can pull off a
performance like this at a volume low enough to allow the
neighboring booths to still hear, but as you probably know, Oracle
is no ordinary band!!! |

March found Oracle at Oliver's Old
Towne Tavern in Laurel for St Patrick's Day.
Although the dance floor there is practically non-existent, we
had everyone dancing in the aisles as we brought a packed house
crowd in to party the night away.
