Dale Bartlett is a singer-songwriter and acoustic guitar player who really really really rarely plays out. It's a time thing, a priorities thing, a confidence thing I guess. When he does play out, I hope it's on a night when he feels pretty, because that totally helps him with the confidence thing.
Okay, enough third person. Sometimes I play with some other doods too, in a revolving membership 3 or 4 member group called Dr. Bob and the Burning Desires. Bob really is a doctor. So is Stuart, but Bill sells commercial real estate and I fight animal cruelty for The Humane Society of the U.S. But D.B. & the B.D.'s play mostly nursing homes, booked by Mary Ann Toboz at Tidewater Arts Outreach. If you're old enough, maybe you'll see us sometime.
Tap your toes or hold your nose, this is how the story goes...
Here's me at The Boot a while ago..
Here's a fun video of a song written in the car on the way to the nuptials of two dear friends. If you listen closely, you can even find out what they do for a living. Thanks to the great Bill Kirchen for the loan of a telecaster and his band, Too Much Fun.
Well now...we'll just have to see if the Red Devils join them in the finals tomorrow. Looks like Man U locked up the table last weekend. We could be looking at the triple like 1999.
Yeah it was nice seeing you there! I can’t remember the last time I saw you at the coffee place. It is getting close to that time again isn’t it! Maybe I’ll be down at the coffee joint more often this summer!
I dont know realy how i know him he just came up to me one day and started talking to me and telling jokes...and i havent been able to get rid of him since then!
