Johnny Sketch aka Marc Paradis on his duet with George....

My original goal was to get George one more time and I have been trying for a number of years now....he like many others that we all love are very difficult to book cause of their popularity and obviously even more so with George and his immense stature in the Musico World....I can't afford to fly in and out like I used to so getting a artist on a tour in the Northeast is important...George is loved and wanted by all so it can be difficult....I finally was in a position to book and I did and I am so grateful that he said yes.....and once I did that I said "I can't just have George, I have to have an opening act" and like any addiction.... and a cat like me who came out of his mother's womb saying "on yer,mark, get set, go"....you add and add until you have a mini fest and wa la...PaulieStock Part Deux

Thanks to all who came out....so nice to see and hang with ole supporters and friends.....even better to have ole volunteers and friends in-house....it's always great to meet new peeps and turn them on to something new or be able to bring it closer to them and obviously having such a great vibe at my joint.

I bought the bowling in 2017 and opened up just before the covid in mid 2019 and it hasn't been easy...I went from a safe cozy existence to taking on a major undertaking late in life and then the covie so things haven't gone as planned entirely⚜️

I'm gonna do again in 2026....keeping it small like this year and hopefully the peeps will keep coming....am already talking to booking agents

Have a great summer and maybe I will see ya at a music show.

Adios
Paulie

BTW Jimmy Carpenter Band is here on Sunday, July 13th....Matinee gig

Jimmy and his band are fantastic....he performed here last year to a full house and I just saw the band again in Homer, NY....stop by and say hello
