The Longwood Alliance, Middle Island Fire Dept and SC Legislator Chad Lennon reps Kayla MacKay and Quentin Palifka welcomed the Eagle River Band to town on Saturday, August 23 at the MIFD HQ park. After a wonderful rendition of our National Anthem by Quentin, Alliance President Gail Lynch-Bailey introduced the debut thusly:
“I Can’t Tell You Why, but I think some of you might have been living Life in the Fast Lane. Maybe you’ve been Taking It to the Limit, or seen too many Tequila Sunrises. Are you feeling like a Desperado or the New Kid in Town or that you’re Already Gone? Is your mind Tiffany Twisted?
No worries, because tonight is One of THESE Nights, when you can Take It Easy and Get a Peaceful Easy Feeling — even if you’ve never stood on a Corner in Winslow Arizona. Here to prove, that along with great music, Love Will Keep Us Alive, please welcome to Middle Island: The Eagle River Band.”
They did not disappoint and played every song referenced in the intro and more. So many members of the 200-plus audience stopped by to praise their performance: “These guys are GREAT!” And they sure were!!
Thanks to Legislator Lennon for the SC Omnibus Grant that makes these concerts possible, and to our wonderful MIFD volunteers for hosting these great community events.
