Hi everybody,
I hope all is well. I did a little Spring cleaning and got rid of old
messages. I'm hoping to expand this mailing list beyond the 'inner
circle' in the next couple of months. Keep this in mind when posting
messages. It's good to have a lot of people show up at certain events;
other activities are best enjoyed with a few select friends. Use your
judgement ;)
On to the next thing,
AMANDA BIRDSALL injected a dose of life to the dinner crown at Osceola
Street Cafe last Saturday. It was a thing of beauty when the cafe staff
had to go get a bigger bucket for her tips! Good job, girl. On Sunday
she made an appearance on a Miami radio station. She played Open Up
Your Eyes ("bullshit they sell you" line remained intact) and Lonesome
Kitchen Blues. Later on Sunday, she opened up for Sloan Wainwright.
Busy weekend. Let us know how it went. Oh yeah, I added Amanda's
website to our links page.
WELCOME. I'd like to welcome Patti Bramson to the group. Patti is a
performer from New Jersey that will soon make the Treasure Coast her
home. We caught her set at the Boardwalk Open Mic on Thursday night
(hosted by Chaz Foster). 'Drummaster' Mike even sat in on a couple of
songs. It was a very enjoyable set. This lady has some fingerpicking
skills! Check out her website on our links page.
STARBUCKS. A new Starbucks opened up on US 1 and Monterey. Local dudes
Dave (Goldenspike) and Jason (Komatoast) played there Thursday evening.
There may be an Open Mic at this location soon.
NEW OPEN MIC. I may have mentioned this here before, but there's an
Open Mic down in Jupiter, on Wednesday nights. The place is called
Latitude 27. It's hosted by Gary Frost.
WE HAVE A NAME. The musical collective known at different times as Cody
and Mike, Jose and Mike, Cody, Jose and Mike, Jose, Cody and Mike, just
Jose, just Cody, just Mike, Cody and Co., Jose and Co., Cody and
Friends, Jose and his Band of Gypsies (once at Joseph's), Ambrosia (heh
heh, ask us about that one), Afrodisiacs, Speedo Grease and the Crazy
Belts...will now be called JoMiCo. T-shirts will be available soon. We
may have our first paying live gig this weekend. If we do, come out and
show us some love. Stay tuned for details.
Much love and respect,
Jose
