October 3rd, 2009: Dennis Keith Band at EGAN/FUNK wedding reception
DENNIS KEITH BAND performed at the EGAN/FUNK wedding in SHIRLEY, ILLINOIS. The venue was in a tent – do you remember that it was raining – hard?? Even though the weather did not cooperate, the party was a huge success. The food was wonderful, and the view…..up on a little hill and gorgeous. The Band played everything from Michael Jackson to Estelle and had the crowd rocking until late. Boy it was dark out in the middle of a corn field!!
