Our former bandmates in Plush have been continuing our tradition of playing at the Portland Sheraton at Sable Oaks on New Years Eve and I'm sure they'd love to see some familiar faces from the BCB days! Sure to be a fantastic party, like always!

Not to be missed, this is going to be an incredible dance party!

Hello BCB fans! Cindy here, letting you know about this event. Bob, as Musical Director, has been working with a great group of musicians to put on an entertaining show!

Bob actually started playing music as a young teenager in the Biddeford/Saco area and has know many of these musicians from previous bands. Definitely a stroll down Memory Lane!

Thank you to all our wonderful clients who took the time to send us a card! We love seeing you and your families!

Bob and I are doing well, traveling as much as possible (considering...), and hoping to FINALLY get our act together this winter to perform as a jazz/pop duo.

Yesterday, just for fun, I revisited our web site, smiling and laughing at photos and videos of past performances and video reviews. (SO nice of couples to have done those, and now they bring back such great memories!) It was truly a pleasure and a privilege to be a part of those important events.

From Bob and I and the members of the BCB (now happily and successfully performing as Plush), we wish you all a very Happy New Year. Here's hoping 2022 brings health and happiness. We all surely deserve it after the trials of the past couple years!

Back when it was okay to snuggle up with thirty of so of your clients. Wedding couples, clients, band fans - how are you all doing? Let us know, maybe post a pic - pajamas are okay, lol.

BCB wedding couples - needed three photos due to the difficulty in getting everyone to be visible...
