long time no updatie - September 17, 2008
Howdy. As I recently bought a grand old lady to fix up, I have been covered in sawdust, jackhammer grease and significant amounts of sweat for the past half-year…that should explain my lack of updates. Still, here’s a quick rundown…
-My lovely friend, possum band mate, running and biking partner and phone call keep in toucher friend JoJo Rozler, who played on my Gift Songs from A Lovely Puzzling Sea double disc set, is being inducted into the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame this year. Congrats Jojo, we all love you. Joe is incredible at everything…recently wrapping up work on the European Manowar tour and a Fisher Price toy gig. Versatile!
-“Mixer”, my painting of a bear struggling with his place I the food chain is being auctioned off at the Burchfield Penney’s Gala, “Fruition”. I was on the education committee for the new museum and am very excited to see it open and thrive.
-Congrats to my pals in "Here Come The Comets" who took home awards for best recording and best group on this years Buffalo Spree awards. Three of my paintings graced the cover, one of which is owned by super designer-Grammy winner Brian Grunert, known for his stellar work with Ani Difranco among many lucky others.
-Saturday Soul Jazz Matinees will begin its third season in November at the Sportsmans Tavern…that’s me, Ronnie Davis and Doug Morgano every Saturday from 3-6 with a different special guest each week.
-I played drums on Rockabilly Hall of Famer Ed Bently’s latest record, ex-current 10,000 maniacs John and Mary’s latest “Peace Bridge”, Dave Ruch's "The Oldest Was Born First", the amazing Hussalonia’s "Live at Allen Hall" (free download at hussalonia.com) and am looking forward to work on musician/entrepreneur Rick Smith’s latest.
-The leaves are changing…it’s time to turn our thoughts to the turkey trot (who will trot with me?) and Jonathan Hughes's Yearly Christmas Record Extreme.
-Bluegrass Thursdays 9:30-12:30 continue at Allen St. Hardware…we are going on three years now…come on down and listen or sit in!
-This past August I was tour manager for the very successful east coast tour of Tokyo Japan's The Silver Beats...let me tell you what a great bunch of musicians and people they are. I miss them already.
