Here comes April and I am pretty
excited about April 26th especially. I am thrilled to be opening for
Dulcie Taylor and Steve Key at Studio 55 in San Rafael and hopefully you already have this date on your calendars.
Trust me, it is going to be a special show. Studio 55 is a wonderful
listening room, and Steve and Dulcie are such pros. Treat yourself
to an evening of well-crafted songs and support live music (we thank you!!)
Here
is the link to more info.
Steve Key and I are doing a couple
of songs at the Freight and Salvage tomorrow (no fooling) and then on
Wednesday at the Ivy Room. (Got to let people know about our Studio
55 show.) On April 12th, we are having a full rehearsal down in Paso Robles,
and I'll be doing a couple of shows down there (on my calendar).
A lot of what was happening for me in February was
still happening in March: working on FAR-West conference preparations; helping with the Freight;
and a lot of recording with Kevin Harris. Wish I had a song link or two to
share with you, but I am going to wait until the songs are a bit more finished.
I will say that I am very happy with how things are going. Aireene Espiritu sang a beautiful duet with me on "A
Promise And A Rose" (what a lovely voice she has -- visit her website!!)
and Dorcas Moulton played some very sweet accordion on a couple of songs and will
be singing with me on "Going For A Ride." Stay tuned.
I did get out a bit and heard some fun music in
March. "Do Wrong Right" played Cafe Leila and that was fun (come
on guys get a website). Had the pleasure of playing at a fundraiser put together
by Andrew McKleroy. He plays in an awesome Brazilian band -- Zamico -- check them out.
And finally -- I have been dusting off "Orange
Blossom Special" for my friends up at Ruth McGowan's in Cloverdale. Here is a version played by a whole line up of amazing
fiddlers. How many do you recognize?
Your turn -- send me some news. Always nice
hearing from you.
