Hey folks!

First off, tomorrow night (Thursday), for all of you
folks in Houston, I will be playing in Ken Gaines'
Songwriter's in the Round show at the venerable Houston
club Anderson Fair!  It's very exciting to me to be
playing in such a well known haven for folk music, very
special to think I'll be on the same stage as so many
great songwriters have been in the past!!

Here's what Ken Gaines says about the show:

---------------

Hi Folks,

Our first 2 shows of the season have been absolutely magical
with great audiences and lots of sparks on-stage. Thanks to
all of you who caught these performances. This week promises
to be more of the same with features Jen Rathbun & Bill Nash
along with Wayne Wilkerson and guest host Bill Ward. (I'll
be in Plano giving my stepdaughter away in marriage to one
hell of a sharp young man. Yes, I'll cry.)

I've been listening to the elegant songs of Bill Nash for
a long time now. He's one of those generous spirits that
you can't forget.  He hails from the Dallas area and is
very active in the DFW singer/songwriter scene. It's high
time we got him down here at Anderson Fair!

Jen Rathbun showed up on my radar about a year ago. Not your
normal sensitive singer/songwriter Jen hails from right here
in Houston. Her flashing eyes, whimsical keyboard, and
wickedly funny songs always add variety to the night. Yeah,
she has a serious bone or 2 in her body as well.

How many of you haven't heard Bill Ward? There's no one in
this town who has it all in such marvelous portions. A
consummate writer & performer, Bill is a multi
-instrumentalist, a whiz in his own studio (he recorded
and co-produced my CD, "Real Men"), and my very good friend.
I know he and Wayne will be creating sparks and swapping
licks all night long.

All of this at Anderson Fair http://www.andersonfair.com
Houston's oldest and best listening room. We're located
right next to Texas Art Supply on Montrose between West
Gray and Fairview. Turn east on Welch and we're right in
front of you. Doors open at 8 PM, music starts between
8:30 and 9. Cover is $5.

Bring 10 of your best friends and have fun without me.

Love,

Ken

---------------

Also, for you folks in Dallas, I will be opening the show
at Alexander's Hideaway for my dear friend Annie Benjamin,
who will impress you with the depth of her musical abilities
and the voice you can't forget... check out the details at
http://www.alexandershideaway.org/  I think for this show
I'm going to do almost all covers, and maybe some Harry
Chapin, too!

Alexander's Hideaway is located in the basement of the East
Dallas Christian Church, 629 N Peak St (at Junius), downtown
Dallas, the show starts at 7 PM, hope to see you there!

Hey everyone,

First, the news:

It's been a magical, mysterious time the past month or so,
starting with the totally unexpected opportunity to perform
on the main stage of the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival a
couple of weeks ago!  It was me and fellow song-schoolers
Christopher Smith, Stephanie Corby, and Jenny Bruce doing a
song-writer's in the round hour at 10:30 in the morning on
Sunday, and I couldn't have enjoyed it more than I did!!  I
played as well as I could expect and even got to sing my
"Colorado" song to a Colorado audience!!!  All in all, I
won't forget it soon.......  :)

Then I got to MC the August 22 show at Calvins in a benefit
show for my dear friend and fellow volunteer Jim Ross who
died of a heart attack one night while helping clean up
Uncle Calvin's Coffeehouse, and the benefit netted about
$2100 in donations, which will go a long way to purchasing
some defibrulator paddles for the coffeehouse so we may never
feel so powerless again!

Last weekend was the third Southwest Folk Alliance Conference,
and Camp NashBill was in full swing, with about 20 performers
playing in Patty and my room till all hours of the night, it
was great to get to hear/see all of my favorite southwest
performers... it's like spending time with your tribe!

Now, for what's next:

I am opening this Saturday night for Rich Prezioso and
Jacquie Manning (better known as "Small Potatoes"!) at
the Open Door Coffeehouse in Arlington.  This is very
special to me because Rich was my hands two years ago
when, during an MS exacerbation I had lost the ability to
play the guitar, and he went into the studio for me and
recorded my guitar parts (only in the style of a master
guitarist, which he is!) for "When I Was in Love"!  This
is a special duo and I am honored to be playing with them
this night!

Here's the details:

Open Door Coffeehouse
Trinity United Methodist Church
3321 W. Park Row
Arlington, TX

September 13, 2003  Small Potatoes plan on joining us for
the evening. "It's exciting music -- so exciting, I'll pay
to see them. Their music is diverse. Their show is
well-paced and has depth and humor. But first and foremost,
they are excellent musicians." --Laura Hill Vasilion,
Chicago Tribune.  Bill Nash opens the show at 7 PM.

Tickets are $10 in advance, $12 at the door and the evening
benefits The Bridge Shelter for Adolescents.

The Open Door Coffee House is held in Trinity Hall in Trinity United Methodist
Church. Trinity UMC is located at 3321 W. Park Row in Arlington, Texas.  Put
this address in the
website:  http://maps.yahoo.com/ for directions.

This is going to be a great evening, come on out and
experience this one!  Rich and Jacquie are the tops... hope
to see you there!!

It's going to be a busy weekend for me, I'd love to see you
all at one or more of these gigs!

1.  WildFlower Songwriter's Contest -- beginning about 10:30
     Saturday morning, me and 9 other songwriters kick off the
     2003 songwriter competition and the weekend's
     festivities!  I won't know when exactly I'm playing until
     that morning, but trust the rest of the folks performing
     are going to be as impressive (or moreso! :)... it's going
     to be great fun!

WildFlower Specifics:

2.  I am also scheduled to perform at Alice's Cafe on the
     WildFlower site at 10 PM Friday and noon on Sunday...
     go to the website above to find out where this is going
     to be.

3.  Also, anyone in Arlington Saturday night looking for

     at 3321 W. Park Row in Arlington.  Show starts at 7 PM and
     it is $10 at the door, and for those who don't know

Open Door info at:

http://www.opendoorcoffeehouse.org/

4.  There is also a potential, if I make the final cut of 3
     winners at WildFlower (one can dream, can't he? :), I
     would be performing in a 3 person round with the other
     winners to finish off Saturday's festivities at the
     festival.

So, as you can see, this might be my busiest weekend of the
year!  I'd love to see you out there, come to Richardson and

Hey all,

I just wanted to tell you all (if I don't get to see
you before then) to have a happy holiday!  It's been
a great year for me and many of you are among the
biggest reasons why... it's been great to see you out
at the gigs!

BTW, if you haven't heard, in this past Sunday paper
there was an article about house concerts in the Dallas
Morning News, and guess who got their picture on the
front page of the paper...?  ME!!  What a lovely surprise
and a heck of a Christmas gift... the picture has me and
the 16 month old Emily McAdams (Linda Silas in the
background) with little Emily getting a feel of how the
strings feel when you grab them and the guitarist continues
to make noise!  It was a special moment, since I was making
up a "I am a 16 month old..." song on the fly at the time,
way cool!  My mom's going to have a cow when she finds out
I was in the paper (she still expects me to show up any
night on the "Carson Show" ...  :)

Anyway, have a fine 2003, I'll hope to see you down the
road!!


-- Love,   Bill

Hey all,

Here's my next gig, this Saturday at Gloria Dei Nights!,
located in the Gloria Dei Lutheran Church at 1333 Beltline,
Garland, TX.  I love this venue (this will be the 3rd time
I have played there!), and will be very happy to introduce
folks to my friend Damaris from Austin, who is opening!

And BTW, for those of you debating whether to go see Chuck
Pyle at the Wylie house concert that night or come to
Gloria Dei... I love Chuck, and can understand why you might
want to go see him (he's great!), but remember he is
scheduled to play at Uncle Calvin's Coffeehouse on January 31
(next month), so you could come out and catch me in a whole
show and still see Chuck next month!  :)  (Sorry to compete
with your concert, Tom and Linda, but it's a dog-eat-dog
world out there, and I don't play that many full gigs!  ;)

I'd love to see you all out there!!

Hey all,

I just wanted to give you a heads up on a gig I'm doing
this Saturday night (Sept 28), a writer's in the round with
my friends Eric Folkerth and Tracie Merchant at a place
called "Margaret's Salon" at 5828 Worth St, Dallas, TX...
we will be playing from 8 to 10 PM, and the cover is $10,
$7 for students (214-335-6951).

Margaret's Salon
5828 Worth St
Dallas, TX

--------------------------

Then next month, I am scheduled on October 13 (Sunday) at
the Beanstock Festival (North Texas' answer to Woodstock!)
in Tom Bean, TX (north near Van Alstine)... more info at
http://www.beanstock.org/  this 2 day festival will feature
me, Max Stalling, Phil Pritchett, Chris Miller, Tracie
Merchant, E-Flat Porch Band, Chip & Jonna Woodburn, New
Hokum Boys, Jack Hardesty & the MJM Trio, Bob Ludwig, Bill
Kisinger and many more to be announced!  It's a good time
and a fine group of peole to play for, and maybe someday we
might see this festival grow to Kerrville size!!

------------------

As for "Carpe Piscum - Seize the Fish", I am again
tentatively announcing the release date in February 2003,
barring any more unforseen physical setbacks for me and
this body of mine... for those unaware, the last year has
been the most difficult year for me and my multiple
sclerosis, as I have had a few emergency room visits and
now use a scooter at work, which hopefully will help me
with my energy level and allow me to finish this recording
project!  For those who already bought the CD, they will
be in your mailbox first thing I finish with it!! :)

--------------

Hope to see you at a gig, drop me a line if you get the
urge, I love hearing from everybody!  If you want to be
dropped off this list, just let me know and it will be
done...

Hey all,

If you're going to the Kerrville Folk Festival in
the next 18 days, come look me up on the lower
meadow in Camp NashBill!  I will be there as often
as I can swing, which as of now is all 3 weekends!
Come down to say hello, swap a song, or just shoot
the breeze, I love camping and guitaring at the same
time, so hopefully you'll get a drift of music-love
from me if you get the chance to come down, more
info at:

http://www.kerrvillefolkfestival.com/

There will be local (to dallas) gigs in the next few
months, so stay tuned!  If you get to go to Nirvana
(that would be Kerrville!), come on down and stay for
a while!!  As usual, I will probably write 3 or 4 new
songs while I'm down there... camping does that for
me!  Hope to see you there...

Hey folks,

Here's what Malvina's website has to say about
our upcoming show this Saturday:


------------------

See the new year off to a good start. DON'T MISS THIS!
Featuring Acoustic Music from musicians, singers and
songwriters of NATIONAL STATURE:

Songwriters in the Round

   Emilie Aronson -The first thing people notice about
  Emilie is her voice: clear, stong, eloquent and
  emotional. The second is her songs: whimsical,
  heartbreaking, uplifting and extremely entertaining.

   LaDonna Goetz - is a songwriter with a lush,
  beautifully alto voice, once dubbed "The Voice" by
  Phillip Wuntch of the Dallas Morning News. Her shows
  are a celebration of life, love and the joy that good
  music can bring.

   Wayne Greene - ads an element of dry, esoteric humor
  to his eclectic mix of folk, pop, swing, country and
  cajun styles.

   Bill Nash - his songs of life and relationships and
  the journey into one�s own soul will stick in your head
  and have you singing bits of them after the evening is
  over.

  Opener - Mike and Bonnie Cruciger - you will enjoy this
  father and daughter duo who perform traditional
  folk/bluegrass music on 5 string banjo, mandolin and
  guitar with beautiful vocal harmonies.

-----------------------

Should be a fun time, show runs from 8 to 11 PM, $8.

Horizon Unitarian Universalists Church is on Hebron
Parkway (544) just east of the Vista Ridge Mall in
Carrollton, see the map at:

Hey everyone!

I have a fun show coming up with my friend Cary Odom
this Saturday, and it's going to be a very fun evening!

Here's what the folks at Gloria Dei Nights have to
say about us and the show:

-------------------------------------------

Bill Nash and Cary Odom Live at Gloria Dei Nights Coffeehouse!

December 1st, featuring Bill Nash and Cary Odom.  Both
long time, dedicated volunteers at Uncle Calvins.  They
are also very talented singer/songwriters in their own
right.

Bill Nash has two recordings of his work which run from
zany and witty to insightful and thought provoking.  It
is a rare treat to catch Bill live and in person.

Cary Odom a gifted singer/songwriter, who comes across
with a clear pure voice that highlights the depth and
magnitude of her songs.  Her tales of flat-bed trucks to
loves won and lost will transport you through her inner
world of lyric bliss.  Cary is currently finishing up
her debut CD which is being produced by Tom Prasada-Rao.

Opener:

Opening this show will be long time members of the Lone
Star State Dulcimer Society, David Moran and Joe Morgan.
David and Joe teamed up over five years ago and the
world of hammered dulcimer and guitar music has never
been the same.  They are featured performers and
teachers at festivals across the country.

David Moran was and still is the youngest person to
ever win the National Hammered Dulcimer Championship
at the age of fifteen.  Joe Morgan is an accomplished
flat-picking and traditional guitar player.   He is
also proficient on banjo, mandolin, hammered dulcimer
and others.  Joe is also co-organizer of the Winter
Festival of Acoustic Music held each year in Irving,
Tx.

Hi there...

I had a great time opening for Ruthie Foster
this past weekend, nice to meet the friendly
folks at the Open Door Coffeehouse in Arlington!
This is my very busy weekend coming up... I have
2 gigs and a songwriter's workshop this weekend,
here's the details:


3/16 Opening for Johnsmith at Live Oak Coffeehouse
in Austin.  John is a good friend and I've been
looking forward to this show for quite some time!
It's also my first real gig in Austin, for more
info go to:  http://www.liveoakuu.org/coffee/
Doors open at 7:00 PM, my set at 7:30 PM ($8)


3/17 Opening for Jack Hardy at Roland's Next Door,
102 S Ragsdale in Jacksonville, TX.  Jack is, in
my opinion, one of the finest songwriter's in the
world, and this is a great honor! ($6)


3/18 Songwriter's Workshop at Starbucks on Greenville
south of Mockingbird, come share a song or just
listen! (1:30 PM)


Then, later on this month, the Uncle Calvin's
Coffeehouse show has turned into a bonified night,
shared with my dear friends Julie McClain and Ross
Wise!  We're going to do 2 long sets of our music in
the round (song swap for 3), it should be a lot of
fun!! ($10), Dallas, TX  http://www.unclecalvins.org/


The new CD is called "Carpe Piscum (Seize the Fish)"
and will feature 15 more of my original songs...
looks like the due date will be late April.


Hope to see you all soon!  Take care...

Hey everybody!

I just wanted to let you know about an opener I have
scheduled for this week at the Open Door Coffeehouse
in Arlington, TX for Saturday night!  I am opening for
my dear friend Ruthie Foster (and Cyd Cassone), one of
the most dynamic voices on the music scene these days!

Hope you can come out to Arlington for this show... I'm
certainly looking forward to it!!  Here's what the Open
Door Coffeehouse people say about Ruthie:

------------------

Her songs contain elements of blues, gospel, country
and folk that give color and texture to her vocal work
and fill those who hear her music with great joy.

Ruthie's strong, vibrant voice and her easy, friendly
manner instantly charm audiences of all ages. She's
agreed to visit us before her spring tour begins. It
includes the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville and the
Kennedy Center.

Honestly, I was so excited when we were able to work
out a visit to the Open Door.  She's a truly gifted
performer.

Bill Nash is an Uncle Calvin's regular.  He combines
great songwriting with a smooth, easy voice.  We are
pleased to welcome him to our stage.

We offer coffee, a wide selection of tea, soft drinks
and desserts.  Our venue is non-smoking and alcohol
free.  Doors open at 6:45 pm, show begins at 7:00pm.
Information, advance tickets and group reserved seating
(8 or more) are available by email or by calling
817-429-2196. Visit our website for more information:
