Hi, my friend. Just wanted to remind you that the next Give A Care monthly benefit show is this Thursday only at Modified Arts. The show features a female-fronted lineup which includes Courtney Marie Andrews, So & So, Antarctica the Beautiful and Dearspeak!

Proceeds benefit the Sojourner Center for women and children.

Anyone who comes will get food and drink discounts at nearby eat/drinkeries all within walking distance!

Hop on the light rail and come on over!



Hope to see you there. Thanks!

The only cryin' shame is I hadn't heard your music earlier. Wonderful roots-drive with catchy melodic overtones. I like it lots. Stay in touch.

I had the pleasure of performing through a 1934 vintage Philmore mic (connected to a 1964 Harmony amp).  I wasn't requested to jam too hard, but just LISTEN TO THAT SOUND!  Let me know what you think!

Great version of "Poncho & Lefty" last night. And thanks for playing "Lonesome Tonight." That tune goes well with whiskey.

They did indeed, though not the things I thought.  Ain't that how it always seems to work, though?  I'm happy and well and hanging out with good people who play good music.  You gotta give me a shout if you are ever heading out this way.  How 'bout yourself?

Shelby,

You still stir your whiskey with a pocket knife? Give me a shout back. It's been forever.
