After a fairly long hiatus, SNUG appeared live at the San Francisco Cherry Blossom Festival Saturday, April 12, 3:30pm, on the Webster Street stage. It was a blast, a mostly sunny afternoon, a large and enthusiastic crowd, a nice big stage and a great sound system.

Well, sorry to say, the second half of 2013 and the first three months of this year have been a bit of a dud on the musical side of things. SNUG had a mere two gigs all year, the least since I joined in 2009 or so. (So far we have one appearance at the Cherry Blossom Festival in San Francisco on the books for April 12.) The jazz trio  project I was trying to put together never materialized, I could never get the bass player and drummer scheduled together and finally gave up. The project I have going on with Adrian McMahon lost a lot of steam when the drummer we had been rehearsing with moved to Wisconsin in September. But we have recently found a guy that seems to be working out, so hopefully that project will emerge sometime soon.
