Hey y'all,
Here's a new recording and video:

That's a really old tune with a crazy history. This recording is on electric
guitar instead of the original fiddle or gourd banjo.
And here's the bookings for the month --
At 10PM most Wednesdays in April I'll play Taix in Madame Pamita's band. Pam's
thing rules and she'll be all fired up for the CD release that we'll be
celebrating. I almost always get there early to eat and then hang out to chat
after the set. That's 4/1, 4/8, 4/22, and 4/29. (But not 4/15).
On Thursday April 9 I'll play a solo set at the Hyperion Tavern. Dunno the time
yet, most likely around 10PM. I'll do the new electric guitar stuff that I've
been working out in the Cinema Bar gigs over the past couple months. Hyperion
Tavern is a great room for relaxing and cooling out to low key music. There's no
obvious place to eat right by the bar, because Casita del Campo across the
street is really wretched, but there are some spots up Hyperion Ave toward
Glendale.
On Friday April 10 and Friday April 24 I'll play an early set at Cinema Bar in
Culver City for the after-work drinkers. TGIF, a couple Coronas, killer tacos at
Tito's next door, and some vintage americana music.
On Monday April 27 I'll play from 7:45 to 8:45 at the Talking Stick coffeehouse
in Venice Beach. It's on Lincoln a couple blocks south of Air Conditioned
lounge. Real nice room where it's easy both to talk to people or to pull into
your own head and do some laptopping.
So, lots of shows, which is good because playing more gets me into a nice flow
and the music comes out well. Also: always always always feel free to ping me
about drinks or food on gig nights. It's all about the socializing.
