The Return

Posted on June 9, 2021 by Joseph

While The Jovial Crew has returned to the stage with the reopening of venues in the state, Cliff has had some eye issues and was obligated to undergo eye surgery. This has prevented him from returning with the band, but we have high hopes of his rejoining us by the end of June or early July. Stay tuned for updates.

Out on the town

Spring has arrived and with vaccinations, stopping in at a restaurant is conditionally back on the menu! Cliff met up with Marci, Kitsie, and Joseph for beer, a good lunch, and a lot of catching up!

Merry Christmas

Posted on December 21, 2020 by Joseph

From my Jovial Crew:

This has been a tough year for all of us. We’ve lost ones we love, all our gigs shut down, and while ZOOM can help with seeing people, there’s no current replacement for being together and singing our hearts out. Please may this coming year show more light, more happiness, and a return to a greater degree of normalcy. Our love to all of you, and as good a holiday as can be had!

Thank you

Thank you all for your kind wishes and sympathies. It will be an adjustment and it’s a sad thing to go into the holidays with. But, I have family and all of you to keep my chin up, and we honoured my wife the best way we could today.

My love and gratitude to all of you.

Cliff

Autumn news

Posted on October 28, 2020 by Joseph

So speaking with Cliff, he – like the rest of us – is very sad for the continued issues with Covid and therefore the continued waiting for such things like our regular gigs, house concerts, and such to resume. What’s more, is that Cliff broke his ankle and is in a cast… 2020 really has sucked!! But our man is healing well and we all stay in touch, even if we cannot get together to practice. He sends his love to all of you and expresses his eagerness to begin singing again. Best thoughts for 2021!!
