wedding (music report, anyway!!!!)

Andy and Brandy got married this weekend; there was a great crowd, and things went very well; there were a lot of comments that this was the greatest wedding people had been to! This post won't be all the details of the wedding, but in keeping with the theme of this blog, I'll report on the music related to the event!
The band, New American Groove provided most of the live music for the reception. They did a great job of providing the kind of music suited for the reception- nice, solid cover tunes, good variety for the varying ages to dance to, etc. The traditional dance of the newly weds was to Andy's "What a Ride." The Greens performed a short solid set late in the festivities; to much enthusiasm and acclaim. At this point I can't recall the set list! But it was a good mix of their styles and gave many "relatives" their first glimpse at the Greens great talents.
The polka tradition of having a whole bunch of male relatives and guests putting their ties around their heads and taking turns dancing with the bride was very cool. Then at the end, the groom tries to make his way into a crowd of guests to get to the bride. Andy did some old basketball fakes to spin his way in.
There was a group of solid Greens fans in attendance along with huge quantities of relatives and family friends. Andy and Brandy are off to Hawaii for about two weeks.
The Greens have a good batch of songs recorded from their sessions a week or so ago. Details for late summer and fall gigs are being lined up.
