HAPPY HOLLYDAYS!

Hi-D-Ho Folks,

Welcome to our spanking new Winter Dance Party newsletter format! This will help us keep our email list current, organized and also just plain spiffier. We like spiffy. If you're seeing this and have no idea why then just subscribe to our email list right here on the website, which you can do by clicking the link to the left "Rock 'n Role Call"!

I have no idea where 2011 has gone but it has dissapeared like a dust bunny under my couch. I know it existed but I can't tell you what happened to it.

Some memorable 2011 highlights included performing with Peter Nero and the Philly Pops at the Verizon Center in Philadelphia, going to Singapore, raising over $20,000 for the Rockford Library foundation and over $15,000 for the Kankakee Valley Theatre Association, getting an invite from Sir Paul McCartney's company to attend Buddy's Hollywood walk of fame induction and I'm sure many other things I'm forgetting at the moment. Anyway, lot's to be thankful for and indeed grateful to you our fans for that ever loving support. From now till December 25th please enjoy a free mp3 download of our special WDP styled arrangement of "The Twelve Days of Christmas" available right here.

This last month of 2011 brings some final fun to the end of the year. Our sister show, "Buddy, Roy and Elvis" will be appearing in..(drum roll please)...Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia at the beautiful Genting Resort on December 10th! I can't imagine any of you knowing anyone there but if you do tell 'em we're coming to rock and roll and we have no idea what to eat.

Also, don't forget Minnesotans that we'll be doing two shows on NYE at the Prairie's Edge Casino and Resort in Granite Falls, MN. Details on our schedule page at winterdanceparty.com. It's not cold yet in Minnesota, right?

January 7, 2012, kicks off with a show for the "South Dakota Corn Growers Association." I'm not lying. They are a lively bunch I've heard tell. Then come January 13th and 14th it's back to warmth and home cooking when we play two nights at the Norris Center for the Performing Arts in Rolling Hills Estates in Southern California. For all of our So Cal fans and friends, this is your chance to see us locally. Don't miss it!

Our official 2012 tour kicks off at the infamous Willowbrook Ballroom in Chicagoloand on January 20th. This show gets sold out faster every year so don't wait too long for tickets. Lots of Wisconsin dates follow, South Milwaukee Performing Arts Center, State Theatre in Eau Claire and of course the mighty Riverside Ballroom in Green Bay and Hartford, WI as well. Our tour wraps up at the Surf Ballroom where we're proud to be on the same bill as the legendary Chuck Berry. Should be loads of fun. Think this is sold out already but not positive. As always, check our here for WDP facebook.

Mr. Twitter will tweet at me if I don't give you our Twitter link as well. Click here for Twitter for up to the minute gobbledy goo on our whereabouts and other useless but semi amusing information.

Well, that's enough jaw boning for now. Wishing you the very best holiday season and a wonderful new year.

Your Buddy,

John
