GREETINGS FRIENDS, FANS, & MUSIC LOVERS EVERYWHERE... 12-02-08

AND SO THE SEASON BEGINS...

Hey There.....how was your thanksgiving? It was mellow and a well needed break here. Our last few shows were sweet indeed. Thanks to all the talented, happy, musical souls gathered 'round...loved it! The head cold I was singing through turned out to be a full blown sinus/ear infection conspiracy, but I am now, thankfully "on the mend" at last. Yesterday, we set up our Christmas Tree, and our little man was all aglow... The days grow dark and cold as we head toward the Solstice and the re-birth of the invincible Sun... So much to ponder as this year comes to a close... Where DOES the time go when we are finished with it anyway???

Things to ponder as we circle the sun once more...

COMING THIS FRIDAY: DEC. 5TH @ "ON THE RISE BAKERY..."

JIM BRANCA'S MYSTIC MOJO TRIO!!!
...a special "Holiday Edition"

OTR is an amazingly sweet place, great, fresh, delicious, organic, locally grown and baked food, delicious pizza's & very vegetarian friendly indeed. The atmosphere is cozy, intimate, and the sound is "just-right" - you just gotta CHECK IT OUT!!! SOoo mark this Friday, December 5th on your calendar now...

(it's my last full band show of 2008!)

QUOTE OF THE MOMENT:

"When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest."

--Henry David Thoreau--

THANKS AGAIN... To everybody who was a part of my debut @ LAKESIDE COFFEE this year. If you pass through Rouses Point, NY, you should definitely go and CHECK IT OUT...! Say Hi to Kris the owner, and tell 'em I sent ya...

And... As always check the "UPCOMING SHOWS" link too, because new shows are added 24/7 as they happen. You don't want to miss anything good, and neither do I...

(In response to the people who seem to come up to me at shows lately and say "I was wondering what happened to you, I am glad to see you are still playing." The "MISSION STATEMENT" will tell you everything you need to know about what I've been up to lately...)

This past Summer was just great with The melodious, mirthful, bunch who have continued our tradition of "Second Sunday Sing-a-long Suppers" @ Alburgh Public Library. We are "on hiatus" for a while through the Winter, until we meet again come Springtime. On a related note - I will be leading a special Christmas sing-a-long for families on Friday Dec. 12th @ 7pm @ Alburgh Library, So mark your calendars and c'mon down for that too. It should be a mighty sweet night....

NEW POETIC QUOTE OF THE MOMENT:

Every Child Has known God,
Not the God of names,
Not the God of don'ts,
Not the God who ever does
Anything weird,
But the God who only knows four words
And keeps repeating them, saying:
"Come dance with Me."
Come dance...
