Down For The Count

This head cold I have is brutal. Tough to get any sleep with a sore throat & stuffy nose. It feels like the flu blues.

Cold

The temperature has dropped and it is windy outside. It has been a mild Winter for the most part in my part of the world. Speaking of cold I feel like I might have one. I started to get a sore throat a few days ago and now I have a cough. My nose is stuffy too. I'm not sure if I'll run today. Rest might be the best answer.

Rockin' At The Swan

I has so much fun jamming at The Black Swan in Tivoli, NY last night! There were 3 sets of music in all. I opened solo and performed my rock opera THE FRONT DESK. In both the 2nd and 3rd sets I was joined by Nick Bisanz and Glenn Knickerbocker. We pretty much threw the kitchen sink at them with all the music we played. It was great seeing my rhythm section partner Raissa St. Pierre there. And Mike Nickerson who booked the gig for me treats everyone so great. I love it when we get them dancin'!

First Gig Of 2012

I will be performing my rock opera THE FRONT DESK for the first time in front of an audience. I'm looking forward to it. So much is going on. This is the first announced solo show I'm doing in 3 years. It will also be the first time I'm using my new P.A. System. I hope everything works. The gig is at The Black Swan Pub in Tivoli, New York. My friend Mike Nickerson booked the gig and I'm so grateful to him. I might have special guests too. We'll see how it goes. Nothing like going out there and really doing it.

I will be performing my rock opera THE FRONT DESK for the first time in it's entirety tomorrow night at The Black Swan Pub in Tivoli, New York. I am very excited about the chance to play out in front of an audience. My dear friend and fellow musician Nick Bisanz might be stopping by. If he does then he'll join me for the 2nd set of music. I'll have to go to the music store and pick up equipment extras I might need. I'll keep on practicing too.
