The other day, real good friends from Orlando sent Jeff Eats the “below” press-release…by the way- despite the fact that they are 65 years old-born & bred Brooklyn-my friends are huge Country Music fans! Life never ceases to amaze me-the next thing you know, they’ll be telling me that they are registered Republicans!

Anyway,

To make a long story short, Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and our friends are “booked”- I’ll eventually let you guys know how this 1639 room hotel-played out.

Just between you and Jeff Eats, Country Western Music isn’t exactly my “cup of tea”…but as Mrs. Jeff Eats says-every so often, you gotta try something new!

In checking with the hotel’s management- I understand that if this event “works”- there are plans to hold additional concerts-featuring various music-styles!

I don’t know about you, but Jeff Eats really-likes folks-who think out of the box- and the crew over at Hyatt Regency Orlando gotta be applauded for trying-this!

Finally, as I mentioned above- Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats are going…For you would be burglars out there, we booked a hotel room for 5/23 & 5/24- so we won’t be back home much before 7pm on 5/25/15…If and when you do come-by, please do Jeff Eats a favor and check-on Lucy May for us thanks!
