Joe and Shirley DiFalco as well as Dom and Carol Palmieri attended a fund raising oldies dance that was held on Friday, April 9th at the Bear Rocks Community Club in Acme, PA. Residents of the Acme community are mounting a legal challenge to a proposed stone quarry that would be doing business in their back yards if Joe Hardy and a group of investors have their way. Chris Drum, one of the organizers of the legal challenge and a highly accomplished ballroom dance instructor, began the festivities with a rumba lesson. Little Larry Joe of Larry's DJ Service kept the dance floor packed the entire evening. Chris approached Joe and Dom and asked if they would like to sing a song. The guys put together a two part rendition of Sincerely and were introduced by Chris as The Streetlights Minus Two. Best wishes to Chris Drum and her committee as they move forward with their legal challenge.

Performance on Feb 27th has been cancelled due to weather

We regret to advise that our performance at Guy's Tavern on February 27th was cancelled due to winter weather. The Greater Pittsburgh area has been hammered by snow storms.

Performance on Feb 20th has been postponed

Weather related conditions have led to the postponing of our performance at the Universal Fire Hall in Penn Hills on February 20th. We'll let you know when the event is rescheduled.

The schedule page has been updated

Special thanks to our web page designer for updating our schedule page. Looks great!!!

New web page design

My web page designer came up with the perfect page design for The Streetlights. Check it out at
www.thestreetlights.com

She was able to truly capture the spirit of Doo Wop in her design. Doo Wop originated on the street corners of the major metropolitan areas of the United States. As daylight disappeared, the street lights would come on and the Doo Woppers would come out to sing their vocal harmonies.

Long live Doo Wop!

Plans to cut a demo have been delayed

The Streetlights were hoping to cut our first demo, but the weather has caused us to postpone. We're still digging out after a major snowstorm dropped anywhere from 12-23 inches of snow and the governor of Pennsylvania declared a state of emergency. The National Weather Service has forecasted another 6-8 inches of snow for our immediate area. Stay tuned!

Our biographies are almost ready for the web page

The Streetlights have been busy working on our individual biographies and they are almost ready for the web page. The web page is still under construction, but you can get a glimpse of it at www.thestreetlights.com

Adding songs to our repertoire

The Streetlights believe in the democratic process and recently came to a decision on which songs will be added to our current repertoire. The songs which won out as a result of the voting process are:

What's Your Name
Come Go With Me
Sixteen Candles
Sherry
You're My Heart's Desire

Standing ovation at St. Robert Bellarmine

I'm very happy to let you know that The Streetlights were asked to sing an encore of Diamonds and Pearls last night at the oldies dance at St. Robert Bellarmine in East McKeesport, PA. We were given a standing ovation at the end of the song.
