AND HOW WAS YOUR HOLIDAY?
Sorry it took so long to blog but let's face it: sometimes you just get busy.
December had a lot going on:
First, we all found out that the city of Phoenix was ceasing funding for all music-related events, effective Jan. 1. So no more Wednesday night open stage and performances at Encanto Park. No more January songwriters Gathering. And worst of all, no more Phoenix Folk Festival in March!
Within days, thanks to the vehement protests of several people, an agreement was reached to keep the Wednesday night open stage going. There will also be one more songwriter's gathering on January 19. But the Folk Festival is FUBAR.
Dammit.
------
I played two gigs the last two Saturdays in a row:
First, I helped close the Paper Heart on 12/29. I will miss this place. Thank you Scott Sanders!
Then...
Last Saturday I played a gig at the Music Corner.
THIS Saturday, I'm playing at the Mesa Women's Center, opening a groovy night of 60s-ness for the Violet Wing! Come out!
------
Whoever said "Candidates with no chance of winning are the only ones who are not afraid to speak their minds" sure was right.
