WEEKLY UPDATE FOR OUR MUSIC FANS!

Just got back from a quiet, peaceful walk around Canandaigua with Siobhan by my side! We have done this a countless number of times, and if I may borrow from Steve Piper, one of my songwriting buddies, “It never gets old.” While we were walking, I daydreamed when we were not engaged in conversation, and the word new kept entering my mind. I am grateful for the many new experiences that occurred for us over the past couple of weeks, and I am excited about them because they keep life fresh and interesting. In addition to connecting with some great young musicians who are interested in participating in our concert series for songwriters at Rio Tomatlan, we played two new venues and had a blast at both of them.
On Friday, we had our debut at The Honeoye Boat House Grill. Big thanks to Greg, the owner, for inviting us to play, and big thanks to Warren Paul for introducing us to Greg! Jay Sharman, one of our drummer friends, stopped by after getting out of the salt mines, and sat in with us for the second set with his cajon. Great job, Jay! Big thanks to all of our old friends who came out to support us in this new endeavor! Finally, big thanks to Nicole, the rest of the staff, and the regulars at The Boat House for being so friendly and welcoming! You made us feel right at home!
Saturday brought more of the same with our debut at The Lobby in Canandaigua. Big thanks to Jon Willis for inviting us to play! Big thanks to Brian, the owner, and Andrea an Austin for being so friendly and welcoming! Big thanks to our old friends who stopped by to support us in this new place and big thanks to the new friends we met!
Both Friday and Saturday evenings were great. Will they lead to other great evenings at these places? I don’t know. What I do know is this. If it’s meant to happen, it will. If it is not, there will always be some exciting new experience waiting to happen just around the bend.
Still reading? If so, hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and thanks for being in our lives!
