Silly? Who, moi? Just wandered in and saw that you added the photo of me singing with you in Kings Park, NY. I won’t forget my drive from Queens post a snowstorm and driving on the icy Sunken Meadow Parkway. OK, maybe I am a bit silly. But it was all worth it. I had lots of fun singing with you and dancing in response to your infectious energy. I won’t forget the “high” I got. And both of us were wearing paisley! LOL what was on our minds when we woke up that morning?
Thanks Vance, for an incredible night.
Vance, the memories are numerous and they are ALL GOOD!! Our residents always looked forward to seeing you but I think Matty and I were always more excited than they were!! I truly wish I was able to see you the night you were in Grantville, PA. I hope our paths will cross again in the near future. Happy, Healthy Holiday to you and yours!! Miss you!!
Well, what can one say about Vance Brescia? He carries a lot of responsiblity in all his endeavers. And, Vance takes the time to say hi if you stop by the stage after the show. I personally would love to see Vance in his own concert. Yes, a girl can wish.
I have to share with you about when my sister met Vance. It was 2007 in Green Bay, WI. I had asked Vance to come over to chat with us. My sister said, “that’s Vance”? I replied, yes. The look on her face was priceless. all she could say was WOOOOOOOOOOOW!!! I think she was more nervouse meeting Vance than she was meeting Peter Noone. I loved it.
WOW!! Just checked out the YouTube connection that displays all the songs we have been talking about here. YOU ARE WAY KOOL!! er, I mean GROOVY! What a way to engage us and make us feel special.
@elf Thanks Sista Elf & others! Busy spreading the word about Vance’s Music Memoirs. Check out the new YouTube channel to watch & listen to music mentioned here.
Sista Elf and Vance, this is great looking. I think that once we have the links from RockandRollheaven.net and you it will become a powerful team and we will soon be taking over the world of music and who knows what else…………keep up the great work
Thanks for helping kick off the fun here! Check back often … you never know when the elves are going to add a link to the music you mention! “Holiday Songs” may be a busy place this time of year! Happy Holidays to all!
It was so awesome to see you in Milwaukee this past weekend. Christmas Music at Christmas Time is a time that I love to listen to. Some of the songs I listen to just make me think and realize how Thankful I am for for family and friends.You are an awesome song writer and singer. And you are right Laughter and acting silly is good for the soul. May you Vance have a Blessed Christmas with family and friends and we will see you in Jan. God Bless.
Hugs

@Dan Koller Thanks for joining the talk here, Dan! I’m around locally, but mostly singing with my friends in nursing homes and community organizations. Check vancebrescia.com for my calendar of shows with other groups.
MUSIC —-hmmmmm. I HEAR a song, I SEE a memory!
@V-Elf Lovin’ it! Keeping me on my toes……or head…..
@Panners
seeing his gold album at his house or seeing him play in Huntington or Port jeff or just bumping into him at Country Hot Bagel.
You are correct music makes the world go round. So many memories Vance with the denise given band first time I heard give me your daughter or
The music and videos on the net are incredible. When will I see you back around these parts. Vance you are missed.
@ShelleyCT Figured that was THEN, this is NOW was better!
This is a work in progress! Stay tuned …
Uhm….elves? Are we upside down now?
WOW! What a fantastic atmosphere to be in when we do that. Can’t even imagine all the potential. Actually, yes I can. I have seen the beginnings in action with people (all ages) who open up in smiles and positive responses to music they like. It changes their negatives to positives. Mine too, for that matter.
Music can open up a window of possibilities in someone you thought was closed up tight.
I didn’t know you stopped playing in Bellmore. I hope you are here again soon or in NY where I can hear you there. I know you are at the Birchmere next fall. I already told friends and family about it.
Hope to see you soon!
Thanks for the good words! Hope you’ll browse through the Music Topic posts & share more. You’ll find links to some grooVy videos!
Hey Vance, I see you published the photo I took from Antoinette’s restaurant. You should have put some sort of caption near me as “the result of eating too much of their pasta” lol. I had a great time listening to you, Peter and Pete perform a lot of great songs, including my requests, which nearly brought me to tears. I was saddened that your gigs ended but that’s Antoinette’s loss. 2010 is sneaking ’round the corner, who knows what can happen? If you guys play in NY again, provided my work schedule allows it, as the song goes, “I’ll be there.”
As Bob Hope said, “Thanks for the memories.”
Great seeing you in Milwaukee Vance…your music and kicks were fab as always. It was great hearing Mickey sing “That was then, This is Now” as his opening song.
Let me be the first to try this out!
Its a wonderful idea!
Music makes the world go around!
