Thanks so much for being part of our event. I hope you all had as much fun playing for the crowd as we did dancing to your sound. May your year be as successful as our event and we look forward to next year.
Once again Thank-You!!!

“I just had the most fun playing around with your web site!! The second graders and I had a blast listening to your music. How cute are you!!! The kids enjoyed the National Anthem.”
- Glenda Edwards, teacher
“I never knew the National Anthem could sound so cool.” –Susan Camarillo
"After Mark's band, the Blind Venetians', last gig, I was, of course, inundated with inquiries seeking to have me reveal what happened. Other than to say that it was amazing (and, of course, to make the obvious flattering comparisons between the Blind Venetians, on the one hand, and lesser groups such as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Meatloaf, the Grateful Dead, and the San Francisco Symphony, on the other), professional ethics obviously prevent me from giving any of the juicy details (Tenet I of the Canon of Ethics: 'What happens at the Cherry, stays at the Cherry')."
-- Yonkel Goldstein.
"Definitely the best thing happening in North Beach tonight!" Unknown, but obviously a very smart person.

"Just wanted to tell you your band was GREAT!!!!! Unbelievable!! I really enjoyed the music. You are soooo talented. And I love your main singer. Let me know where and when you guys are playing. I would definitely go!" Barbara S.
"I had a great time on Saturday. I love your band!! I knew every single song. I said to Rebecca, "shhh...this is one of my favorites. I even saw them in concert." And she says "I'm happy for you (sarcastic)....<pause> who is this?" And I say "um hello???... KISS!!!" Kim D.
Abba Eban (an Israeli diplomat) once said: "History teaches us that nations act wisely after they have exhausted all other options." We think of the band as a nation, and we obviously haven't run out of options yet.

Unfortunately, there is no real prize (hell, there's not even a fake prize). But there is the satisfaction of knowing that you have a keen extra-sensory ability to match people with their cel phone rings. Or maybe you've just been spending too much time with the band........
