The New Year is upon us. Here’s what I’ve been up to:

• No Static has several gigs coming up. Our first one of the year was at a new place for us, the Vinyl Room in Burlingame. In February and March we’re going to be back at the American Legion Coastside Post 474 in Half Moon Bay, Winters in Pacifica, the Wine Room in Moss Beach, and another new place for us, FDR (Ferment-Drink-Repeat) Brewing Company in San Francisco. Check the Calendar for details.
• Lea & Co. has been on hiatus since around Thanksgiving… hoping to start that ball rolling again in February.
• I’ve been chipping away at the pile of educational material I’ve accumulated over the years.

It’s a new year! Here’s a few things that have been going on and are coming up.

• No Static, after a bunch of summer and autumn gigs, tapered off a little around the holiday season, but now our calendar is “filling up” again, with a date at the Vinyl Room in Burlingame on January 11 to start us off, two in February and three in March…
• The erstwhile jamming entity consisting of guitarist Jeff Kamil, the bassist know to some as PJ, and drummer Tom DeFiglio, are going to get together in early March for our first throwdown of 2019.
• No updates on Lea & Co., we fell into a long hiatus around the holidays.
• My infrequent appearances at Stan Erhart‘s weekly jam session at the American Legion Coastside Post 474 in Princeton-by-the-Sea continue to be pretty infrequent, about once every six or seven weeks. But I always have a good time, sometimes a great time… I really should go more frequently.
• I’ve been slowly but surely working my way through some of the gigantic mountain of educational material I have. Really enjoying some of the videos I got from TrueFire.
• Still nothing new to announce re recording projects, dammit.
