| Holiday music show is a success. A
large turn out to celebrate the band. Bill turned the operations
of the band over to Randy Miller to pursue to new avenues and to develop
the Country-Gospel Group, Hilltop Four.
Spring Fling 2005 is a well attended success. Shortly after that, longtime band The SunnySiders approach Bill with an idea to offer their services as a backup to him, as needed.

A deal was worked out and the show became
Bill Venet and the SunnySiders, with the Sunnysiders staying under the
direction of founder Ed (Sonny) Stumbaugh.
Guitar and Vocals-Ed Stumbaugh Percussion- Pat Stumbaugh Bass- Chuck Merganthaler Rhythm and Comedy- Moe Newlin, who after much contemplation chose to join on leaving Country Mt. Mix

The Group knitted together well, and enjoyed
a successful 2005 tour playing some formats such as Sagebrush, Antique
Diner, Grafton, and Big Circle in West Virginia, the grand opening of
Bargain Hunter in Johnstown, PA, Stackhouse Park, Johnstown, PA all in
total a record breaking season in appearances.
The Band purchased a bus in the fall and finished the season with the Holiday Music Show. The band is looking forward to going to their favorite places and some new exciting places that are in the works for 2006. |
