    FRAMINGHAM, MA– 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” for the 2011 season.

    Local band “3 OF A KIND“, (from Natick), featuring Ron Taddeo (lead guitar), Richie Wood (bass) and Jim McGee (drums) 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.

    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.
