hosted by Jimi Yamagishi

About CJ:

Sometime ago, while CJ was at the Kerrville Folk Festival, he sat down under
a tree and at the request of attending friends, started playing some of his
compositions. The down to earth melodies and cleverly observant lyrics in a
down-home, sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant kind of way attracted the
attention of attending musicians and songwriters. It wasn't much later that
those same talented individuals who gathered around to listen, began to lend
their talents to the music that CJ was making.

CJ passed away in late August and his wonderful presence will be missed by
all of us.

Email jimi@... or usa@... for details on signing up to
sing a song or two
in honor of CJ, dear friend and great songwriter. If you have a story to
share or other tidbits, feel free to come on down - "Mrs. Rodriguez" and
"The Lone Ranger" will be there too....


COST: Free entry, donations accepted

SPECIAL GUEST HOST: Jimi Yamagishi

Cunnane on guitar - performers start promptly at 8pm and the CJ Littlepage
