Sunday
Not much to write in here the last week or so. The only music news I have is a gig I played Saturday evening, from 7 to 8. Out at Brenden Gardens with the Don Smith Quartet. I've got another such gig this coming month at another Retirement Center/Nursing Home. What can I say? The gigs are usually an hour, sometimes two. They're close in, and pleasant to do, and I get paid for them.
Not terribly active right now as far as gigs, but at least my hand is still in there.
A busy week as far as celebrities: Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson all gave up the ghost. I was glad to see the outpouring of respect and love for Jackson--strangely(or not-so-strangely)enough, the media crucified him a few years ago and then deified him upon his death..Poor guy. Not my favorite kind of music, but a great entertainer.
I've been preoccupied this week with my cat, who has had health problems for the last 2 months. Over this past week, things have taken a downward turn. Kinda takes the wind out of your sails..
More music news as these things get worked out. As always, thanks for stopping in. More later.
