The Becca Darling Band Live at Latitude 18

The band played before a small, but supportive crowd last Saturday night. It rained heavy for a solid 2 hours just before we were to begin, and that practically insured a small turnout. Nonetheless, the band had one of it’s better nights musically !!

Becca’s dear friend, Grace Notary was there on a visit to St Thomas, and both of them were beaming – one could see the genuine affection there. Becca sang the great Latin love song “Besame Mucho”, for the first time (in public), and did a superb job of  “delivering” the passion of this song.

Becca gave a playful rendition of the dance tune “Fergalicious”, and the band had fun, plus played well for pretty much the whole night !

This coming week  the band added a Friday night at latitude 18 as a fill in for the regular act – who is off-island. We will have guest artist Paul Dirks on bass! It’s always a pleasure to work with him !!

We played at the Wyndham Sugar Bay Hotel last Saturday and brought out some new dance tunes that were very well received! We did the Kate Perry song  “I Kissed a Girl” and the Jason Mraz song  “I’m Yours”.

It was a strange night–the first two sets there was a wedding party on the outside balcony playing disco music – every time the door opened we would hear them. Then for our third set the whole room livened up as folks came from somewhere ?? ready to party, and even the bride and wedding party came inside  and hung out!

It was great having Paul Cater Deaton on drums again – he’s such a fine musician plus has a wonderful personality

Poor Becca got attacked by fire ants on her way to the

Banquet room – but came through and did the show !

She’s a Trouper !
