Teri Silver: Liner Notes

And there you have it.

It was a great night at the Fur Ball, and we hope the Humane Society of Delaware County made lots of $$$$ toward their efforts of helping our precious animals find their forever homes.   TYGN is proud to be a part of it and we're looking forward to next year!

Join ThankYouGoodNight at the annual Fur Ball fundraiser for the Humane Society of Delaware County on Saturday, December 5th.  Jeff and I are dedicated supporters of our kitties and pups!

We played this show with just the four of us, as our substitute lead player told us that morning that he couldn't perform. So Jeff really pulled it all together with some hard work and preparation.  ThankYouGoodNight had some nice compliments and the folks were very nice all the way around. 

Yes, that says it all! 

TYGN is postponing this show but it will be rescheduled. It's been an unstable summer but the long and short of it is, new players that come and go can be hard to keep up with. But never fear, we'll get it going!

ThankYouGoodNight has rescheduled the Eldorado's date to Saturday, September 19th, beginning at 9:30. Hopefully, we're set with this now!

Yes, a little different this year ...instead of visiting with the family in Cleveland, Jeff and I ...and ThankYouGoodNight ... performed at a private party in Pataskala.  It was a nice evening and a nice change, but I really did miss coming into Cleveland for the family's annual Fourth of July party.  Am looking forward to coming "home" next year!

TYGN's performance on June 20th at Eldorado's has been postponed by the venue. It's expected to be rescheduled, but we'll know more at a later date.

TYGN performed at the Old Bag of Nails in Delaware tonight and it was very nice. The weather turned out to be perfect despite the always changing and sometimes ominous central Ohio weather forecasts, and the moon was out. Good music, good fun and a nice start to the summer. Thanks to all who came out tonight!

The Old Bag of Nails is a gig we play on the patio... but not this Saturday. The venue has cancelled this weekend's show due to the wet weather we're expecting on that day. And.. no surprise, because I was thinking it would be that way. Central Ohio weather is a guessing game and of course, that's what happens for outdoor venues. Well, let's hope for dry weather on Saturday, May 30th!

ThankYouGood Night enjoyed playing for the American Massage Therapists Association's Ohio chapter for its convention last night. We'd like to thank Kelly and the rest of AMTA-Ohio for having us.

A labor of love it was and now the ThankYouGoodNight website is up. Check it out at www.thankyougoodnightband.com (always remember to put "band" after ThankYouGoodNight) and be sure to sign our guestbook!

Jeff and I will be playing an acoustic set on Friday, April 24th, beginning at 7:30 p.m. or thereabouts. It's kind of a stripped-down version of ThankYouGoodNight or... "ThankYouGoodLight," as Jeff calls it. We will be at the Mean Bean Caffeine Lounge, at the corner of Sandusky Street and Williams, in downtown Delaware (the address is 2 N. Sandusky St.) We hope to see some of our friends there.... stop in for a taste from their extensive coffee/hot drinks/cold drinks and nosh menu. Sing along with us, if you'd like! Don't forget to bring a few bucks for my tip jar because that's how we get paid!

ThankYouGoodNight welcomes bass player Clif May to the fold. Clif is a veteran of many bands around the central Ohio area, and will be a fine asset to TYGN.

Just a quick note to say that, in order to accomodate a request by the club owner, ThankYouGoodNight has moved our Eldorado's date to Saturday, June 20th, so we will NOT be there on April 18th. We were offered the Saturday before, but Jeff and I will be out of town on April 11th. SO... be sure to put Saturday, June 20th down on your calendar!

ThankYouGoodNight welcomes Chris Williams on lead guitar! We're very pleased to have him and are looking forward to hitting the stage. Also, TYGN will soon announce a new bass player, as the band undergoes some personnel changes. We wish Steve and Tom lots of luck in their musical futures!

TYGN is booked to play at the Old Bag of Nails in Delaware on Saturday, May 16th and Saturday, May 30th. We're hoping for a few more OBON dates for the summer but only time will tell!

ThankYouGoodNight is now looking for a new lead guitarist. Steve has decided to pursue other avenues in his musical life, and we wish him well. For now, Steve's TYGN biography will remain intact until a replacement can be found...we are now starting the interview/audition process. In the meantime, it's business as usual and we are looking forward to our next performance.

ThankYouGoodNight is currently seeking gigs for spring and summer. Thus far, we have a few irons in the fire in addition to a private event on the books, but I can tell you of one public show on the books that is coming up... ThankYouGoodNight will be performing at Eldorado's Food & Spirits on North High Street in Columbus. Please see the calendar page for details. It's a nice place that I am very comfortable in; the folks who own it are very nice people who support local music. I am really hoping to get a good crowd for that show... It's a new venue for us and we really need to impress the owners with how well we draw. So.. yes, put us on your calendar! Eldorado's serves food items such as wings, burgers, subs, etc. in addition to being a full service cocktail bar.

Today was my last day as a program host for WOSU on Saturdays. Now, there is the possibility that I would crop up there from time to time, depending on what they need and if I can accommodate the station, schedule-wise. I really appreciate the folks at the radio station for allowing me to be a part of the WOSU family for the last 3 1/2 years. Que sera, sera.

The short answer: December 13th & December 20th will most likely be my last days as a weekend program host for WOSU 89.7 & WOSU 820. Perhaps another day could be thrown in next month, but for the most part... it's over. I've been with them 3 1/2 years. Well, it's like this. A few months ago, the Brass at WOSU told me that they wanted to drop the weekend program hosts in favor of full day news for WOSU 820. This would be on both Saturdays and Sundays, with a few extra days during the week for a full time employee. Because of my news background and my experience in working at the station, WOSU's News and Program Directors DID ask me to APPLY for the job (submit an application among all the other apps, doesn't mean I'd get the job, only that I'd be considered for it.) I decided not to apply for it because of the commitment that would be involved. Now they've got someone in place and my days are numbered... (I was hoping, since it took them so long to do it, that they'd just "forget" about it, LOL.) I will still be affiliated with the station. If there's an opportunity for me to fill in during the week as a program host, I will try to accomodate that, if I can work that out with the library. So, I'm actively seeking another (consistent) radio job and I hope something will come up after the first of the year. This singing Radio Diva needs a place to warble!

A great night at the "Fur Ball" was had by all! I don't know what the final numbers are for the Humane Society of Delaware County, but I can say that their fundraising benefit held this past Saturday was a success. The director told me they had more than twice as many tickets sold than last year, and the auction items were selling like hotcakes! ThankYouGoodNight was and still is honored to be a part of it.

Please think about the many homeless animals that need a good friend... check out a shelter near you to find your furry soulmate!

I am talking about the students of Ohio Wesleyan, who come to Clancey's to dance and have fun. They seem to enjoy TYGN last night and had so many nice things to say to me. We had a great time and are hoping to be back there next year. Unfortunately, the economy being what it is, that may not be possible as the owner told me that he's not making money with the bands and that he's leaning more toward hiring DeeJays. He says it's more cost-effective and that people don't want to see live bands anymore. Well, maybe so and if that's true, it's a real shame. I'd hate to see live music fall by the wayside for several reasons (and not just at Clancey's but all the clubs;) Live music is live music and to lose it would mean losing a large part of the joy of life if there were no live performances of any kind, anywhere. That actually goes for all kinds of music in all kinds of venues. So, I urge us all to support live music (especially from your local bands) because if we don't, it will all go away. I know that's not what I want!!!

Join TYGN at "Fur Ball 2008"... The Humane Society of Delaware County needs our help and the animals need our love! Information is on the calendar page... if you can't make the party, make a donation :)) ThankYouGoodNight will appear at the Fur Ball at 8:30 p.m. on November 15th, capping off an evening of food and fun!
