Last Wednesday the Patchogue Sketch Club went to sketch one of the last of the bands scheduled for the summer concert series in Sayville. The Lazy Bunny Ukulele Band was playing. The band consists of 4 members, but before they performed a young man with disabilities was invited up to sing and play his guitar. Bobby sang "Crocodile Rock" and didn't have the best voice, but the audience loved him! I think he is in some way related to one or more of the band members and many people in the audience seemed to know him. He was so filled with energy and pride to be performing that I sketched him first. Then he left the stage and the other band members played. Of course I added them as they played. They were a fun group and had a lot of people...kids especially...dancing to their music.
I sent a copy of the sketch to the band on Facebook and they loved it so much that they posted it to their feed. They asked if they could make copies of it for each of them, and I said yes. Then I was contacted by Bobby's mom who is interested in purchasing the original sketch. She was so touched that I included him in the sketch, and apparently he was thrilled.
Joan what an honor and one so well deserved. I am sure his mom will enjoy this sketch. Have a great start to September. Hugs!
