New Year's Eve Party and Concert, Pattaya Bar & Grill, Goleta, December 31, 2008.  "I really liked the band's choice of an excellent Moody Blue's rocker to lead off the first set.  I also liked many of the other selections, including the Roy Orbison, Tommy James/Shondells, Tom Petty, and Santana covers.  Olivia particularly liked the Elvis set, and the whole family liked the Beatles covers.  Bushwood rocks!" - Dave Gore, Rotary Club of Goleta.
