Happy Hearts are the Best Kind (as are covered dish meals!)

The Yesterukes had the privilege of visiting with and entertaining the Members of the Happy Hearts group of Hampton Heights Baptist Church, yesterday.  It was a beautiful Tuesday in Taylors and a much needed break from all of the rainy, gloomy, cold weather that we have experienced recently.

After a brief program and introduction, we got to work doing what we do best....making music.  Everyone in the audience seemed to enjoy our offerings as they clapped and sang along and that makes us sing and play even harder.

The time flew by and before we knew it, it was time to eat.  The food was delicious with fried chicken, rice and gravy, casseroles, vegetables, deviled eggs, potato salad (to name just a few), and a desert table with so many homemade goodies.

Many thanks to the folks at Hampton Heights Baptist for such a warm reception and delicious meal.

Buncombe Street on a Rainy Day

The day was rainy and cold, but our intrepid band members braved the elements to make the trip to Buncombe Street United Methodist Church, yesterday, to entertain and share a meal with their seniors' group.

The Yesterukes were in rare form in spite of some members being absent because of illness.  We wish our missing band mates a speedy return to good health.

The audience seemed to enjoy our efforts and that took everyone's mind off of the cold, nasty, gray day outside.

Come on sunshine and warmer weather!  Until then, we'll keep doing what we're doing to warm our hearts and those of our audiences.

Rockin' in 2019

It's always good to get back into the swing of things after a break and yesterday was no exception.  The band returned to The Crossings at Five Forks in Simpsonville for a mid afternoon concert.  The Crossings is a beautiful, well maintained facility just off busy Woodruff Road at, you guessed it, Five Forks.

The audience was a very lively group who sang and clapped along with the music and that always makes us happy.  We tried out some new songs and they were well received.

The staff has asked us back for three more appearances this year in May, September, and November and we'll be ready with some new and different numbers for those dates, as well as our old familiar set list.

As frequently happens, your reporter forgot to take pictures until the end of our performance.  It's a bit difficult to remember photographs when concentrating on arranging chairs and setting up and adjusting sound equipment.  He'll try to do better in the future.  Maybe it's time to appoint another member of the group to take photos.  We'll see.

Here are the few pics he was able to snap at the end of our performance as the band was packing up their instruments, music books, and stands.
