Good news...a gig on the horizon! Can't wait actually. Nov. 8th at the Mod club with my two fab friends Kathryn Rose and Emilie Clair-Barlow. We'll each do a set and then perform together. We'll also play early in the evening (8pm) cause that's just how it HAS to be.Other good news is that I am recording and writing and making music and booking shows and releases and all of that jazz so, life is good. . . more soon from the mom who finally dug out from under,

So, I've been a bad blogger...I do find it kind of weird to chat about my daily activities when I'm not on the road. Maybe that's just an "old school" attitude I'm hanging on to from the old days when we called it a "tour diary"...ahh..those crazy old days....2 years ago...Anyway, there's lots going on and I'm excited about new tunes and getting out to perform more and life is good. I just got back from playing a gig in Arizona with my buddy Gary Sinise. It's fun for me to be an occasional guest with his band. They are a terrific bunch and Gary and Danny Gotlieb make a ferocious rhythm section. I just play a little violin so it's a nice change for me.

I had a random musical experience the other day. I was getting some groceries and the butcher suddenly said to me, (as he passed me my free range chicken) "Are you a musician?" I was surprised and wondered if maybe he had seen me perform or something ... "Yes I am, how did you know that?" I figured he was going to tell me he likes my tunes or something to that effect...his answer:"You just whistled the harmonica solo along with the muzak that's playing here in the store. I don't hear THAT very often."

I was proud.
