Hey steppers, a good time was had by all at Officer Al Torres' retirement celbration at the Elk's Lodge on Saturday night. Over 300 attendees, alot of friends we haven't seen in a while and a whole bunch of NEW Steppers. We'd like to thank Al and his wife Sylvia for inviting us to provide the entertainment. Mike met Pete Molero (Sylvia's father). It was great to watch him as he provided some of the entertainment that night. As we finished up the night, he grabbed the microphone and rapped his own version of "Rapper's Delight". Mr. Molero and Mike had a few talks during the evening and it turns out he is a fellow sax player. At the age of 87, he's still got the voice and all the moves, can't wait to hear him blow a little sax sometime. Thanks Al and the Santa Maria Elk's Lodge for another successful gig for Steppin' Out. On a side note, Joe (bass player) searched for his first place ribbon to wear that night. He won it for writing an essay for the D.A.R.E. program back in the 6th grade. Unfortunately, it wasn't found in time for the event.
Hey, we'll see you all out at Shaws Steak House in Santa Maria this Saturday from 9-1 as Steppin' Out makes yet another debut.
