A Summer Performance

We are doing an outdoor Show on Thursday in Richmond Hill at Mill Pond Park.
The band will be there, as well as most of the Goodfellas gang.
The weather is supposed to be nice too so I can't wait! Best part of this show is that it is free! These shows in the park are always kinda neat because the audience mostly doesn't know what to expect.
They see the sign "Pauly and the Goodfellas" show tonight and they just show up!
The reactions from a fresh crowd who don't know what is coming next is priceless.
It is a good way to see if some of the gags are still working as well.
The show has changed over the years in bits and pieces mainly because some things got old, or didn't work anymore.
We used to do an Austin Powers bit but the movies are so old now that a lot of people just didn't get it, so out the window it went!
Of course there's always room to bring some of the silly stuff back again, like when we used to dress like girls and do a Supremes medley...er, but that's another story...
Anyhow if you are free on Thursday at 7pm come over here and be entertained!

Fans

I'm a Fan Fan!

I just love fans, no not the air blowing kind, the type that come to your show and tell you all about how many times they have come to see your show. No matter how my week has been or what bad vibes there may be going around, a good interaction with a fan can pull you out of it.
I'm always puzzled by acts that don't treat their fans well. maybe they think that they're too big to care about them. We did a show in Fergus Ontario last Saturday and although it rained most of the day, it cleared up during our first set and so the small crowd of sit in the rain die hards began to grow larger and larger. After the show some of us went out to an autograph table to interact with the audience. An older couple approached us and told us how much they had enjoyed our show, and would we take some pictures with them. Well of course we did! It was a crappy rainy day and these folks stood in the rain to watch us carry on. I really loved taking those photos, because I know how the people will laugh at them later, carrying the good feelings from our show to others. They also bought our Cd, which we all signed, maybe it will be worth a million bucks someday?
We also signed the hats of some cute girls, they had been at the Trooper concert there the night before and of course they didn't sign anything!
There were many other acts at this show, and they arrived on their humongus tour buses with their entourages, and they had their product on the signing table, but they didn't interact with their fans either onstage or off. Too bad.

First Post! welcome!

Hi everyone and Welcome to the Pauly and Goodfellas Blog.

For many years I have wanted to let people in on some of the crazyness that make being a performer with Pauly and the Gooodfellas so much fun. Little things such as backstage antics all the way to crazy adventures with wildlife, the police, fans, agents, venues and traveling.

The silly things that happen on the road are really endless!
Often when I tell my friends some of the stories about what has occurred on gigs, they often don't even believe me, and sometimes I don't blame them!
So I've created this page to document the stories and to include pictures to prove the silliness wherever possible.
So here we are on page one! Please feel free to add your stories of the Goodfellas here as well, I'd Love to hear them!
