Precedence plays the 4th of July Festival

This was really cool. Every year, Enfield has a huge 4th of July Festival. They have tons of food, games, a craft show, stuff for the kiddies and lots of good music from bands. This year, Mark's band was asked to play the festival. This was a big honor, because they were chosen to play out of a bunch of other peole who applied, some of whom were nationally known artists (like the Hartford Symphony Orchestra, The Lonesome Brothers, Big Al Anderson from NRBQ and Delbert McClinton. (You can check out the celebration at http://enfieldcelebration.org/ . Here are some of the pics that I took of Precedence when they played on Sunday afternoon.

Mark doing the famous "Hand Wipe" Hey, it gets really hard to play when it's SO hot outside that your hands keep slipping off of your bass strings. Hence the "Hand Wipe" was born!
