Okee Dokeee - I not only ate 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 turkey dinners in the month of November. I am so through with turkey and stuffing!!! Please bring me a taco already!!! Candy Band has a month off - except for our "nightclub" gig at the New Way Bar in Ferndale with Free Beer on December 12. So ---- with that said - I am searching for new recipes that don't go with TURKEY!!! XOXO A.Joy

In case you missed the Royal Oak Parade over the weekend, here is a clip from Fox 2 Detroit. It was freezing cold but fun was had by all!!! xoxo A.Joy (we are in part 3 of the parade - so click on that!!) http://www.myfoxdetroit.com/myfox/pages/Home/Detail;jsessionid=208DEFE327D2FF999CA1613ADA847821?contentId=7924975&version=7&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=1.1.1&sflg=1

So the Jonas Brothers are all big stars and stuff. So.....I thought I would pull out this picture that we took 2 years ago at their State Fairgrounds show. Becca and I stood in line to meet them and I took alot of photos - I thought I would share this one. They look like they are 12 years old - hmmmm maybe they were - how old are they now?? Well, enuf about them - come and see CANDY BAND at the Royal Oak Holiday Magic Parade at 10am this Saturday. xoxo A.Joy

Ok - remember this scene from last year's Royal Oak Holiday Magic Parade? Well, Candy Band will march and perform live again this year. But.... I sure don't wanna walk with my guitar (see me in the black coat walking with my guitar). That was crazy!!! I am going to plant myself on a seat on the float this year!! Hope to see you all in downtown Royal Oak this Saturday morning!! 10am start time!! xoxo A.Joy

November 15, 1pm at Barnes and Noble in downtown Royal Oak, Mr. Seley and Almond Joy will perform!! It is a fundraiser for Addams Elementary school - just buy some books and use this secret code (that I will give to you if you see me at the show) and a portion of the sale will go to Addams Elementary. Simple = Yes!! xoxo A.Joy www.mrseley.com

Here is Candy Band before our show on October 25 at the DSO Tiny Tots Concert Series. One of us is posing as Charles Burke - a professional conductor. Actually, Charles is in the middle and he is not posing as a conductor - he is a conductor!!! Can you guess who is who as far as the rest of us goes??? xoxo A.Joy (rrrrrrr)

Look who's on the cover of the November/December issue of Grand Traverse Woman - it CANDY BAND!! We played up there last year and had a blast. If you've never been to Traverse City - ya gotta go - it's beautiful year round!! Thanks Candace!! xoxo A.Joy
