Spring & Summer 2007 I've been away from things for a while for but I'm starting to get back to it now. Hopefully that's the last gap I'll have on this page for a long time to come...

23 March 2007 I accompanied the terrific jazz vocalist Janna Mordan at Frescaroma in San Jose on Friday, March 23. We'll be doing it again on Saturday, April 7 at 7:30pm.
February-April 2007 I've been continuing to show up and play when I can at pro blues jams at the Little Fox Theatre in Redwood City, the Old Princeton Landing in Princeton By the Sea (on the coast just north of Half Moon Bay), and the Seahorse Saloon in Pacifica.
15 February 2007 I played at the Brookdale Lodge in Brookdale, on Highway 9 near Boulder Creek and Felton, on Valentine's Day, augmenting the Christopher Patton quartet.
11 January 2007 I accompanied vocalist Bonnie Thomas at a the annual Crab Feed fundraiser for the Guardsmen at the Aquarium of the Bay at Pier 39 in San Francisco. It was interesting to play to a tankful of enthusiastic anchovies in addition to the usual human audience...
30 November 2006 I accompanied vocalist Bonnie Thomas at the 750 Restaurant and Lounge in the Hilton San Francisco Financial District Hotel.
19 November 2006 It's been a busy month or so. I've played at the weekly jam session at the Tasting Room of Domenico Winery in San Carlos four times now. It's a great scene and has been extended past its initial trial period through the end of the month, and will then start up again after the new year. I've also started bringing my old solidbody guitar out at some of the pro blues jams around the Peninsula, in particular at the Little Fox Theatre in Redwood City and at the Old Princeton Landing in Princeton By the Sea (on the coast just north of Half Moon Bay).
15 October 2006 I played at a jam session in San Carlos at a new venue, the Tasting Room of Domenico Vineyards. It was led by vocalist Candice backed and a trio (Larry Chinn, piano; Perry Thoorsell, bass; Jerry Pannone, drums). There are two more dates in October, Sunday October 22 and Sunday, October 29, from 4-7pm; depending on turnout, it might be continued as a regular thing. I'm planning to be there again the next two weeks; hope to see you there!
