Okay okay so I had to give you a tiny recap of what’s been going on since December. In interest of time (and interest) here’s a month by month…
January – quietly celebrated birthdays, including seeing the Planets at Philadelphia Orchestra as Aquarius Erin Fox celebrated her birthday. Capricorn and Aquarius UNITE. Caught a nasty cold while I was trying to prepare for…
February – super-secret understudy trip to Nashville TN. Spent some time with a very talented crew. Prepared some material as an emergency understudy in the event the lead singer fell ill. Luckily everyone stayed healthy, and a good time was had by all.
March – JOLLY TINKERS! I was blessed to have been invited to jam with 14-year standing Irish troupe the Jolly Tinkers – we had a short week of madness, with more shows than days. Super. Fun. Time. I believe we played for about 5 hours or so at Shady Brook Farm and the Continental… something crazy like that. So much fun with Righteous Jolly and Greg McGarvey – two other powerhouse talents. My favorite gig included TILEWORKS of Bucks County – it’s like a castle. Amazing. Opened for Oak, Ash and Thorn for a wonderful Irish night.
April – mostly rehearsals, filling in for Erin Fox and the Hounds, and Righteous Jolly originals.
May – BRAINFEST… filled in with Erin Fox and the Hounds for Brainfest in support of the American Brain Tumor Association. Righteous Jolly shows as well. Began learning the hammered dulcimer…
June – Righteous Jolly shows, original works. Once I even painted my face like a clown. I leaned in. It was fun. Also celebrated the Summer Solstice at the NCC East 40, and gave a preview of my upcoming residency…
And here we are in July. See next entry… New music is being made. Join me.
