MARCH 2010
- It’s been said that March comes in like a lion and leaves like a
lamb. We are still in winter and officially will be till March 21st,
the beginning of spring. As a kid I enjoyed the snowy days of winter,
snow fights, snow men and sled rides. Still the spring was always
welcomed. I’m sure that this year, everyone is anticipating the
spring. I read that there was at least one day this winter that 49 of
the 50 states experienced snow. The only state that didn’t get snowed
on was Hawaii. It even snowed in Florida. So yeah!!! Bring on March.
This month, on Friday, March 5th,
I’ll perform at the Winter Garden Gazebo on Plant Street from 7:00
to 9:00pm.
I’ll be at the Attic Door,
28 W Plant Street in Winter Garden on Thursday, March 11th,
7:00 to 10:00pm and Saturday, March 20th, 8:00 to
11:00pm. www.myspace.com/jrsatticdoor The Attic Door owners, Lisa
and Lori have recently opened a cozy adjoining restaurant next door to
the Attic Door called Bistro 24. In the evening, Bistro 24 is open for
seating Attic Door patrons.
On
Saturday, March 20th I'll be performing at The Yalaha Bakery. This is a great outside venue and a wonderful bakery, serving all sorts of baked goods, sandwiches, coffee and music. The hours for music have been expanded, 11:00 to 2:00pm. Check

On Saturday, March 27th,
I’ll perform at the Deland Art Festival. My set is 4:00 to
5:00pm. There will be
music all day long. www.delandoutdoorartfest.com

January
has gone and hopefully has taken with it it’s very cold weather.
Orlando had record breaking temperatures in the 20s. I walk 2 miles
every morning at about 7:00am. Man did I walk fast on those cold
mornings. I lived in Cleveland Ohio many years ago. I’m done with cold
weather. I’d rather put up with 8 months of Florida heat. READ

JANUARY 2010
- I’m sure I’m not the first to say “Happy New Year”. If I am the first, it still has a familiar sound. Didn’t we
just say that a short time ago as we welcomed in 2009??? Yes and 2009
seemed to go by so quickly. I’m not alone in that observation. Could
time be quickening??? Far out concept.

DECEMBER
2009 - Wow! The month snuck up on
me. The year snuck up on me. Life has snuck up on me. This entry will be
short so that I can post it. If the shoe fits, Merry Christmas and/or
Happy Hanukkah. Check out my Christmas CD, "Six String
Christmas". It's never too late to buy it. The CD works every year.

NOVEMBER
2009 - I’m sitting here at my computer in my music room, typing
the November installment of News & Events. The room, also known as
the “treehouse”, is on the second story of our house. The front
windows look out over our lawn. I mention this because Halloween is a
few days away. Here In the “treehouse”, I have a good view of the
lawn, which has been converted into a ghoulish graveyard, complete with
gravestones and skeletons hanging from the trees. My wife has a passion
for decorating the yard and house with things that reflect the festive
holidays, rituals and happenings. I’m
sort of indifferent to such things, though this Halloween extravaganza
has come in handy when giving directions to our house. “When you turn
on my street, look for the graveyard”. Night time is easy. It
lights up.

SEPTEMBER 2009
- The public school year has begun. Summer vacation went by in a flash.
I walk 2 miles each morning at dawn and have noticed the sun taking
longer to appear. The last few days, it’s been slightly less humid in
the morning, though the Florida mid day heat gives no clue that summer
will give way to our brief winter. READ

AUGUST
2009 - I received shipment of the new CD, “This And That” and
“Toi”, the French version of "You", one of the songs on
the new CD a few days ago. This is my 9th CD.
It amazes me as at one point in my life I never imagined that I
would accomplish producing even one CD.
I left Los Angeles 18 years ago, working mostly as a guitarist
for hire. Never thought I
would become a singer songwriter, performing my own compositions.
That all changed when I moved to Orlando, or did it change when I
left Los Angeles??? Whatever,
it’s been a great experience. Will I produce another CD???
I don't know. As I
finish each recording, I find myself thinking that I'll hang it up.
It seems that each CD had its own reason for being, so I guess
I'll see where the journey takes me. READ

JULY
2009 - Hello again. I’m
awaiting the arrival of my new CD “This And That”. I should have it
this week, but definitely by the July 26th Leu Gardens
concert. One of the songs on the CD titled “You”, has been
translated into French and is available on a separate CD. I’ll be
doing a concert in Paris in a few months and will sing the French
version there. READ

I’d love to spend a long period of time in France. Someday I will.

APRIL 2009 - Wow!! April is here. Sort of caught me by surprise.

where did that all start?
