Jan 26 - TRICKS Lite at Kendra 35th birthday
Feb 22 thru Mar 1 - Tricks rehearsals in Richie's basement in Wayland
Steve had his new Mapex drum kit, but still had his old Yamaha kit.
So, Steve had his Yamaha kit in Richie's basement for full band rehearsals,
and his new Mapex kit set up for home practice.

The place is so small (seats maybe 45 people), we use electric-drums the first weekend.
When we first scouted this place out, we saw the band "Nimrots" (the old Stormin' band)
and they had e-drums. But we learned from this first weekend that the Woodshed folks
enjoy loud rock & roll, so Steve brought his new Mapex drums the next time.
Dec 31 - TRICKS New Years Eve Party at St. Mary's / Visitation Hall in New Salem
Awesome Night!!
