Good morning, it’s Steve Kelley, takin’ a second in the studio, filling for Big Mike this week, to write to you.  Good to hang out with you this morning for Big Mike, along with Brit, Keith, and Mike Ellis. 

Great to see so many of you at Corona Parrotfest this past Saturday.  What a great time, and so many enthusastic Sunny 102 listeners.  Thanks for all the fun trying to win those crazy parrot hats!  And how ’bout that conga line and the great music from Northern Harbour!?  Keep listening for our next event, and thanks for listening to me fill in for Big Mike this week. 

If you were paying attention, you know we announced the Sunny Summer Song this morning… which today is Summer Nights from Olivia Newton John and John Travolta… listen for it this afternoon between noon and three to get a chance to win that 27 grand from the NY Lottery. Okay, it’s now 8:37 a.m., my song from Spiral Staircase is just about to end, gotta talk on the radio, see ya. 

I went to Jones Beach this past weekend and saw Chicago and the Doobie Brothers perform together. It was a phenomenal show!!! We got so lucky, the weather was perfect and the venue is right on the beach. Their opening act was an Italian singer, Neko. I think he won most of the ladies with his good looks and quick dance moves. Then the Doobie Brothers did their act, when they played Black Water people jumped out of their seats to help be vocal backup!!! I don’t remember the name of the song but the Doobies are doing some bluegrass stuff now, that was really cool. My friend who went with me is a huge Chicago fan, so when they took the stage he was in awwwwwhhhh. My favorite part of the show was at the end when Chicago and the Doobie Brothers came out on stage together and play “Listen to the Music”, “Saturday in the Park” and “25 or 6 to 4”. Even though most everyone at the show was my parent’s age I absolutely enjoyed the experience. It was nice to be at a concert with no drunken people and crowd surfing, a great family friend show. I encourage everyone to see these two bands in concert if you have the chance.

Another fun party, BIG turnout … and a little scary seeing how crazy many of the teachers behaved (one teach put on Mr. Sun and goosed me). Thanks to all for making it a great time!
