Hi All,

Last Saturday at the Iron Horse was wonderful - a decent turnout even tho it was smack in the middle of a double religious weekend. Get this - The wait and bar staff wore homemade t-shirts with quotable one-liners form many of my songs. After all they see there musically throughout the year, that kind of love and dedication is pretty unparalleled. Thanks, folks.

I know these mailers have been frequent of late. Here's the last 2 gigs for like 30 days or so, so I won't bug you again for a while.... If you don't live near eastern Connecticut or near Boston, tell someone who does, will you?

This will be time #2 at this lovely theatre. I'm not much of a draw here, but you'll help with that - I have a good feeling about the turnout for this show. Tell you what - come to this show and we'll have a Name Your Own Price nite for CDs. Yep. Pay whatever you want for CDs - 'tween $5 and $20 each, and I'll make deals if you grab more than one. Oh hell, just come take them if times are really hard for you...just come to the dang show...

This coffeehouse was always right around the corner from a hobby shop I frequented 28 years ago. I'd see the sign, and say to myself "...Someday...". Almost 30 years later, gee, I think I've played it easily 7 - 8 times... I love this place.
