Panama City Beach Gig

It was a DREAM come TRUE...

The Captain! Our new friend and one of the most talented people we know. Captain kept the house rockin' with his impeccable guitar playing, his incredible voice, and MAN what a stage presence! (Also gave love and support to the Cinnamon Girls and great hugs, too!)

As many of you know, The Cinnamon Girls hit the road on September 6th for Panama City Beach, Florida. Not knowing what to expect, we were trepidatious, to say the least. But, when we arrived 11 hours later on the beautiful Gulf of Mexico, all our fears were put to rest and replaced with sheer awe of the talent around us and bubbling excitement for the experiences that lay ahead. The only word we can use to describe the entire journey is "Blessed".

We were met, not with the band we had expected, but with a group of truly outstanding men and musicians. (Pictures of all of them to follow.) Many of you remember Bobby Holiday who has played drums with us on many occasions. Bobby had created a band of extraordinary talent to back us up on our featured songs- Mike Howard on keys and vocals, Bill on bass and vocals and The Captain Milton Borel on lead guitar and vocals. Through two rehearsals, learning material new to all of us, we pulled it together and created an AMAZING sound! SO, by Friday night as we entered the Edgewater Resort, we were ready for a great performance at the American Cancer Society's Cattle Baron's Ball.

The night was a dream come true for us, and I do not think we have ever had a better time.

We will be adding stories of our rock n roll star week and pictures of our new friends soon, so check back regularly.
