The oldies group American Pie had a busy year planned in 2020 with more than 40 gigs scheduled, up from the usual 30 to 35.
“We were headed for a pretty good year,” said Richard Gainor, 63, of Arnold, the four-member band’s bass guitar player for 30 years.
The covid pandemic changed all that. They played only eight times, all outdoors.
“We all understood what was going on. We were happy to play where we could,” Gainor said.
