3 OF A KIND band featured at Concert on the Green, Framingham, MA, August 12, 2011<\/p><\/div>\n

FRAMINGHAM, MA<\/strong>- In a summer of Friday nights marked by rain or the threat of it, the weather was perfect for the final \"Concert on the Green<\/strong>\" for the 2011 season.<\/p>\n

Local band \"3 OF A KIND<\/strong><\/a>\", (from Natick)<\/em>, featuring Ron Taddeo<\/strong> (lead guitar)<\/em>, Richie Wood<\/strong> (bass)<\/em> and Jim McGee<\/strong> (drums)<\/em> eased their way through sets of mostly classic rock from the 60's, 70's and 80's with a healthy dose of 50's oldies in the mix.<\/p>\n

Throughout the night Wood and Taddeo switched off playing lead while McGee, part showman and 100% drummer provided percussive fills that are as much a part of the band's sound as any guitar riff or lyric could be.<\/p>\n

The night's show was the last one organized by Jim Egan, Town of Framingham Director of Building Services who retired this month.<\/p>\n

Egan conceived the idea for the free summer concert series in 1996 and after a 15 year run has handed over management of the concerts to the Town's Park & Recreation Department.<\/p>\n

The band made a special shout-out thanks to Jim, who wasn't at the show -- but since FPAC-TV was taping the entire concert, he'll get his thank you on t.v.!<\/p>\n
