We had a pretty decently rainy winter this year and the hills are all still green well into spring. Here’s what’s going on in my musical endeavors:

• No Static continues to be moderately busy. We played six gigs between January and April, and currently we’ve got several coming up, starting with San Carlos’ Hometown Days event this coming Saturday, May 18, followed a week later by our first appearance at Highway 1 Brewing Company in Pescadero on Saturday, May 25, then the Wine Room in Moss Beach on Saturday, June 1. Scott will be out of town for a lot of July so we probably won’t take any gigs in that period. Next one after that is another community festival, Burlingame On the Avenue, on Saturday, August 17. 
• Meanwhile Scott and I landed our first duo gig, also at the Highway 1 Brewing Company, on Saturday, June 8. Scott will do a solo set, then I’ll do a solo set, followed by the two of us together. I’m using the solo set this as a forcing function to finally get more comfortable using a looper and a guitar synth. Fingers crossed I can keep it afloat!
• The loose jamming aggregation consisting of guitarist Jeff Kamil, the bassist know to some as PJ, and drummer Tom DeFiglio got together in early March for our first throwdown of 2019, and had a second one in mid-May.
• Lea & Co.’s long hiatus continues; I think we can safely assume it’s a thing of the past.
• I’ve continued to only show up at Stan Erhart’s weekly jam session at the American Legion Coastside Post 474 in Princeton-by-the-Sea about once every six or seven weeks. I always have a good time, sometimes a great time… I really should go more frequently…
• I managed to get out to the mid-week Club Fox jam in Redwood City once this spring, the first time in over a year if I’m not mistaken.
