CURRENT RENEGADE
NEWS Well the reunion / dance was just
great. Everyone had a fantastic
time. We played some old songs, danced, reminisced with old
friends, and hopefully made some new ones.
There were about 120 people that came to
the reunion. Some old members of the
band showed up, and we got to visit and see
them after all these years. "Will
we be doing this again soon?" , was one of the
questions that was asked throughout the night. Maybe, if we can pull it off, we will have another
reunion sometime in the future, and this time open it up to the public. Only time will tell! We had several sources video taping it, and
a reel-to-reel tape of all the songs that
were performed. We were supposed to
play from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM, but it lasted until
almost 11:30 PM. Again thanks to all
who attended and made that night very special to all
the members of the band, and their families.
A SPECIAL NOTE FROM MICKEY: The response to the Renegades Reunion was so
fantastic that all of us are now planning another reunion possibly for sometime in the
future. I have had at least 25 phone
calls and e-mails from people who attended the
reunion pleading with me to "do it again soon". The Sunday after the reunion I had around 15
people at my house still "UP" from the night before.
I can't explain why it was such a success, but it took all the guys in
the band several days before we "came back to
reality". A special thanks goes
out to my very good friend and computer buddy Howie Schultz who sat in for 2
songs (and also designed this website), along with Bob Hirschi who got up and sang
with us. Another very special thanks
to Paul Heimerl, who became our drummer at the last
minute when Paul R. couldn't make it. He did an excellent job for such short
notice. The most important thanks of
all goes out to my wife, who has put up with my practicing
and off-key singing the past several months in order for me to get ready for it. As everyone at the reunion will tell you,
she was the "Life of the Party". I have been in touch with some old band
members and very close friends from years ago. The reunion has reunited me with some very
special people from the past that I never would have believed I would ever see or hear from
again. Thanks to my very best friend and brother Big Lou, and to Denny who really made the night a
total success by coming from Crandon to reunite with us,
and to Paul Heimerl who saved the reunion for us, and especially to Dick. Without Dick's nagging me about doing it
for the past 20 years, it never would have happened. Dick is also like a brother to me. We have been close for almost 40 years. To all our family,
friends, and fans. . . . . . . SEE YOU AT THE NEXT ONE.
