Pan, Coconuts Make New Year Right

We had a great gig down in Noyo Harbor at the Wharf . The power was out and the owner thought he would have to cancell, but being a steel band has it's advantages, like not needing electricity,, also dinners went off without a hitch because the kitchen runs on propane, they rented a generator for some lights in the kitchen and bar area,, and the coconuts rocked the house untill 1;00 am by candle light.

The place was packed, i dont think it could have been better if we'd had power, maybe the vocals suffered a little without microphones, but i don't think any one noticed. We hit the 12;00 down beat with Auld lang syne and half way through switched to a faster salsa version,, followed up by Shake Sonora, what a great way to end 2005 and start 2006.

Cheers and happy new year every body,,,,,,,,Hang Pan

Kevin and Coconuts.
