Playing in a band you realize how much goes into starting and stopping together, much less making MUSIC. We recorded this at an open mic celebration after 4 year break. I'd like to say I sounded better when we rehearsed...but, I cannot tell a lie. I do stink as a singer. Worse as a fiddler.

But, did I ever have fun singing with these guys! The original Black Cat Blues Band from fall 2002 to summer 2003. We rehearsed at Dan's house thanks to Sonya:
Dan Vaccari: Drums
Jim Bennet:Tenor Sax
Josh Morris:Siegel- Bass
Noah Seigel: Rythmn Guitar
Norah Dooley: Vocals (oh, is that what we call them? ) fiddle
Sean Franchi :Harmonica

I wrote three or four songs for us ( Too Happy, Nickel and Dime, Small Space, Strong Coffee) and then they found a real singer - Melanie Mangum. She is fabulous. Check them out ! They are * Melanie and the Blue Shots* Now, they are a great band for listening and dancing!


Dan has his own band: Nobody's Fat or http://nobodysfat.com/ is a Progressive Jazz/Funk Trio based out of Western Massachusetts. Members include Pianist and Keyboardist Dan Babineau, Drummer and Percussionist Dan Vaccari, and Acoustic and Electric Bassist Joel Cameron.
