What a perfect night for a birthday celebration!  Mark and Elizabeth Dizik both celebrate decade birthdays on July 15, and they chose to have Raising The Dead come party with them!  Their back porch made a perfect stage and a great time was had by all.  They found us at the Sardine Room playing as an acoustic quartet, so that's the show they wanted.  Thanks for a magical night, we wish you many more decades to rock that "Touch of Grey." Next weekend, we play another private birthday party in Franklin.
