Getting through the lonely, dreary days of November is always a challenge. Music always comes to my rescue, and Once again, it is not letting me down.
Last Wednesday, Siobhan and I were guests of Gordon Munding, the host of Blues and Roots at the B-Side in Fairport. We were strangers when we entered the B-Side, but not when we left. We played two sets, and in the second one, we had the patrons singing along with us. We had a blast! Big thanks to Gordon for having us as his guests, and big thanks to the workers and patrons for being so supportive and welcoming! This great little venue of Gordon’s occurs on the first Wednesday of each month. The B-Side emanates a nice vibe. So, check out Gordon’s event sometime! He does a great job hosting it!
The dreariness of November was kept at bay on Thursday when we arrived at The Timber Creek Tavern for our monthly happy hour. The regulars were there to support us, and we got into some good silly fun with them, especially in the second set. Big thanks to Susie for letting us jam at her place once a month and big thanks to Jill and Hillbilly for always being so friendly and helpful. Finally, big thanks to you friends and patrons at The Timber Creek. It’s an absolute pleasure being with you, and we look forward to next month!
Friday, we went over to the Honeoye Boat House Grill to listen to Warren Paul, one of the terrific songwriters who appears in our songwriter concert series at Rio Tomatlan in Canandaigua. Warren’s great voice, outstanding guitar playing, and excellent sense of humor engaged us for three beautiful sets. Just kicking back and taking in Warren’s music was just what the doctor ordered. Warren plays the Honeoye Boat House a couple of times a month; so check him out! Also, check out the fish-fry! It’s delicious! Big thanks to Warren for a great show and big thanks to Greg, the owner, for booking us to play at the Boat House on Nov. 23! Hope you can stop by!
Since Warren’s music was so soothing on Friday, we went out to See Beth Steel and Bruce Diamond on Saturday night at The Lobby Craft Eatery and Coffee Shop, a new venue on East Lake Road in Canandaigua. Beth and Bruce’s show was terrific, and since there were so many musicians there, they turned the evening into being somewhat of an open mic by inviting Mike Wittek, Jack Jones, Siobhan, me, and a couple of other musicians to do some tunes. What a beautiful evening! Big thanks to Beth and Bruce for a great job! Big thanks to Jon Willis for booking Siobhan and me to play at The Lobby on Nov. 24! This place has a great vibe, and we’re really looking forward to playing there!
Well, in a few days, we’ll be half way through November. With our upcoming show at Rio Tomatlan with Perry Cleaveland on Nov. 17, hosting our concert in Quiote at Rio Tomatlan featuring The Dady Brothers on Nov. 18, and our shows at The Honeoye Boat House on Nov. 23 and The Lobby Craft eatery and Coffee Shop on Nov. 24, we have a great chance to keep the November doldrums away. Hope I am right!
Still reading? If so, have a great week and thanks for being in our lives!
