Well, I've taken a few months away from the blog. I've had some big changes in my life and that's good. It needs to happen sometimes. I'll be getting back into the swing of things over the next few months and I'd like to re-connect with everyone.
I'll be appearing at the Boothbay Opera House on the 13th December as part of the Gingerbread Festival. More information on that to follow.
Have you ever wanted to get up an play a few numbers in a public setting? I know I have, and do. Might I suggest an open mic night? There are a few of them around me and I still enjoy swinging by and playing a couple tunes at them. Last Thursday I stopped by the Gin Mill in Augusta and played a few tunes at the great open mic hosted by John Hasnip. He's got a great sound system and he knows how to use it. The crowd is great there, too. If you can't make it to the Gin Mill on Thursdays but you'd still like to do an open mic, John hosts one on Wednesday nights at Charlemagne's in Augusta. Charlemagne's is a really great place. I still say they have the best paninis I've ever had and their pizza is great. Both the Gin Mill and Charlemagne's are on Water Street in Augusta. One Mondays, I highly recommend the open mic at Mainely Brews in Waterville. Mike Rodrigue hosts and the crowds are great. I've heard that there's an open mic this Friday at the Red Cup in Boothbay Harbor and I'm going to try to make it. I've heard that they're great.
So keep your eyes open for some new changes to the website and for a list of dates. I hope to see you soon.
