"Wow wow wow !!!!!!! What an AMAZING concert

On February 11, 2011 SWITCH performed at Morongo Casino in the VIBE room. Every Friday Morongo brings back the 'old school' with what they call 'Funky Friday' Well right after our concert on Friday night Bruce McClure, Executive Director Of Operations, came to SWITCH'S dressing room and asked us, 'how would you feel if we asked you to come back?" We thought, what a nice compliment to the 90-minute show that we had just performed.

What made Bruce talk about bringing SWITCH back? Normally the VIBE room at Morongo on a Friday night typically attracts a crowd of about 435 people, which is a good crowd. The attendance for our concert was 750 and everyone was, as I say, 'Jammin'. When we performed "There'll Never Be" & "Love Over & Over" people were singing every lyric. Some of the comments were, ..."we couldn't hardly hear you guys from the crowd singing your songs..." You can take that a couple of ways, we take it as a compliment. People want to enjoy themselves, and enjoy themselves they did. The fact that people were dancing with their partners and singing the lyrics, both women AND men, to many of our songs showed us that they were there to have a good time and they did.

When the band was introduced to do their 'solos' during "We Like To Party', I have to say that James Strong, our bass player, did a GREAT solo. The crowd went wild. So from the funk to the ballads & harmonies that SWITCH is known for, it all came together in Friday Night's Performance.

Let me allow you to read a couple of comments that was posted on my Facebook page after our Friday night performance:

These are just a few of the many comments that we received in appreciation of Friday night's performance. As always I'll keep you informed of upcoming performances with SWITCH especially when we'll be coming to a town near you. But in the meantime I think that Charlene's words summed up the night - "Wow wow wow !!!!!!! What an AMAZING concert...
