Arrrgh! Pirates Cove

So we are in the full-swing of summer now and although we are having a wonderful time singing, I couldn't help but feel like something was missing from my life. Then I figured it out.

Mini golf.

There are certain things that you must have and do to truly be able to stake a claim of getting the full Cape Cod experience. The beaches, the chowdah, the ice cream, and the mini golf. And when it comes to mini golf, there is only one place that I can go and really live it up: Pirates Cove. I've been going there since I was 8, and I still act like I'm 8 when I go now.

Brian, Seth, Dave, and I hopped in the car during the afternoon to get a quick 18 in. We played the front course and the competition was stiff...well, between Dave and I. Seth and Brian are what the French would call "Le HORRIBLE". When all was said and done, the final scores looked like this:

Rob: 37 (-3)
Dave: 39 (-1)
Seth: 46 (+6)
Brian: 48 (+8)

I conducted this interview with Brian following the meltdown:


And finally, a picture of the losers of the day:



So can anyone out there beat my score? Bring it.

Thanks to everyone who came out for the July 4th EXTRAVAGANZA! Much fun to be had by all. I will post a full re-cap later today. I just wanted to take a quick second and announce a new idea I had. Since many people take pictures at our shows, I was thinking: Let's get some of those great fan pictures up on the site! I'm going to be launching a new fan picture section, so if you have any pictures of us singing or you rocking cool homemade t-shirts or anything like that, send your best to robbie@hyannissound.com and I'll get them going on the site. Looking forward to seeing what this becomes!

Back to folding laundry...boooooooo!

EXTRAVAGANZA!

So I have to appologize for the lack of posting lately. We have been working non-stop on our July 4th EXTRAVAGANZA music. This Friday at the Federated Church in Hyannis, we're doing a show that is going to be something special. Allow me to further explain.

Two years ago, Doug Fraser decided on the spot as he was talking during a show that we were going to do a July 4th EXTRAVAGANZA in Chatham. We had not even once mentioned it as a group. BUT, with a little perseverance, we learned a few patriotic tunes and thus, the EXTRAVAGANZA was born.

Last year, in 2007, we decided to continue the tradition on July 3rd. This time, we had much more prep and rolled out some great tunes, including a vocal rendition of Stars and Stripes forever. I can honestly say that this was one of the top three performances I've ever been a part of.

Which brings us to this summer. We will be performing all the favorites from the last two years plus some really neat barbershop quartets of patriotic songs. We promise fireworks, America, and more red, white, and blue than any one person should ever wear. The good news is that there are NO fireworks that night in Hyannis, so parking and attending should be a breeze! Hope to see you out there!
