NEWS: December 2008
Well, folks! Its almost the end of 2008. Its been a good year for PHB
and we hope that 2009 will be even better. Its not easy though, as clubs
are experiencing a loss due to the non-smoking laws and very tough DUI
laws. This results in a lot fewer folks going out for the night on weekends
and therefore, less booking for bands. Obviously, we hope that we can
continue to perform, but we do have to expand our gig base to farther
venues. We certainly wish that 2009 will be a even better year, with
more people supporting live music and venturing out to our shows.
We also are aware of the hard, financial times we all face and wish that
all of you have a much better 2009 as well.
So, from all of us in PHB, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and
a Happy New Year...be safe, be happy, and good health to you all.
