Oracle 2006 - The Year in Review - Page 3

As we moved into the hotter months of the Summer the club performances also picked up.

Perry's Restaurant in Odenton Maryland has been a home away from home for the band almost since it's inception.

We performed at Perry's on 18 nights spanning nine weekends through the course of 2006...more than any other club.

Perry's saw a major renovation during the year which moved the bar further back in the room to allow for more seating up front near the stage, and to expand the size of the dance area.

We have archived photos taken at our parties at Perry's all the way back to 2002.  Check out the Perry's Photo Gallery and take a trip back in time to see photos from ALL of Oracle's performances there

We really love doing these outdoor performances.  Kids of all ages and species can come out to enjoy the music and get a taste of what live music is all about.

Former Oracle member Jeff Baxter came back to sit in on a few numbers, and it was really a blast having him there to relive some of the days of yesteryear.

As we were setting up Veronica & Nikki had some fun playing with the ducks & geese that were hanging out watching us work.

To see all the photos from this performance head over to the Laurel Lakes Photo Gallery.

One of the other performance spots for Oracle in July (and indeed throughout the year), was at the American Legion Post 175 in Severna Park.

In addition to our New Year's performances there we also maintain a regular schedule of Friday night parties in the lounge at the Legion.

It is always a pleasure to perform at the Legion. These men and women put it all on the line by serving their country in the armed forces, and deserve our respect and admiration.

At the conclusion of each performance there the band plays "Proud To Be An American" and there is not a single person in the room that isn't on the dance floor linking arms in solidarity.

Afterdeck is located way off the beaten path at the end of a residential road.  You would never figure there could be such a great little club nestled in the middle of the neighborhood, but no sooner do you reach the stop sign on Magothy Beach Road and BOOM...you're there at one of friendliest places around.

At one of the performances there this year one of our good friends Bill Stevik came out to sit in with the band on trumpet.  It's always so much fun to have other respected musicians join us on stage.

Later in the year we were surprised with a visit from Mike's sister Tessie and her husband Ray, along with their children Justin, Stephanie, and Adam.  They had driven up from Atlanta Georgia to be with us for the evening.
