It was a rip-roaring time at the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul last week ! But Dick’s sure bushed after all the activity–and has sure taking a pounding. Through Evansville, IN, up to Springfield IL, over to Shaker Heights, OH, Beautiful Downtown Ashtabula, Avon on the Lake, wonderful downtown Sandusky, then off for the long haul in to Minnesota. We’d like to give a special thanks to Chief Winston in Blue Ball, OH. Given the long trip on the road our band needed to stop for some good time RnR, and heaven knows Blue Ball can be the ticket for needed relief. Unfortunately, Justin and Anita decided to have a few too many libations and wound up in flagrant delecto on a park bench next to the courthouse fountain. The good Chief didn’t make a big deal of it or scold them too much for pulling such a boner. And helped them back to the hotel. Many thanks, Sir !

Also thank you especially to the good citizens of Ashtabula for the warm welcome and the fine hospitality. When you’re looking for a vacation there’s no place like Ashtabula. Dick found a very warm reception there.

Well, the band is off again and we’ll keep you posted. Swingin’ Dick just might be headed YOUR way !

You heard that right ! Dick and the boys are going to be playing one night only at the Palladium in Big Beaver, Pennsylvania on the 9th of September. The Palladium is located just off PA route 19 between Beaver Falls and Big Beaver; just a little bit south of the Y- intersection in downtown Big Beaver. Doors open at 7pm with music and fun beginning at 7:30. Tickets are on sale now. It’s a night of hard driving swing music featuring the hard-charging music of Fletcher Henderson. Bring your dates; all the ladies we know love Swingin’ Dick especially when the boys are driving hard !

We’re really excited about launching our website giving booking details, music genre, reception, and the perennially zany adventures of Dick and the Boys in the Band as they trot around the US !
