Monkey Cocktail to Disband
The end of 2007 will also bring the end of
Monkey Cocktail. Personal responsibilities, obligations, commitments and
opportunities will conspire to make continuing the band an unattractive
proposition. The boys prefer to end with this incarnation of the band and
finish out the year together. The band is working on putting together what
will be the final dates for Monkey Cocktail, and we hope that you will
join us in celebrating what has been a truly wonderful 10+ years with all of
you.
There is no internal strife that has led to
this decision, it is simply life interfering with, what for us has been, a great
and meaningful time. The music that we have made together and played together,
and the times that we have shared together and with all of you have created what
will be a lifetime of fond memories. The boys are friends and will remain
friends, and there is a great deal of mutual respect amongst the members of
the band. All of the guys in the band plan to continue actively playing and
it is hoped that the boys will have an opportunity to play together again one
day.
It is our sincere hope that during these
last several months together that we will see you at one of these last few shows
so that we might thank you in person for all of your love and support and
for choosing to share some of your nights with us. We are blessed to
have had the opportunity to play for you and to have met so many wonderful
people along the way. If you have not seen the band for a while, or maybe you
have never seen the band at all, we hope that you might make it a point to share at
least one last evening at one of these last few months of shows with us.
Thank you all so very, very much.
Be well and God Bless,
the boys in Monkey Cocktail
Jack, Dave, Tony and Shawn
