MARCH 2013 - Hey! It’s March. It’s not February any longer. We’re charging through the year. Soon Spring will be here, then Summer, then Fall, then Winter, then March again.
I’ve formed a duo with harp (harmonica) player extraordinaire, Stan Geberer. We’ve named the group after the celebrated Brain surgeon Doctor P. Dufflebag. The group is known as Doctor Dufflebag. We’re available for any and all occasion.
Friends and I have put an electric band together. We are named Riff Raf. Please understand that any similarity between my name and the band’s is totally coincidental. We will perform our first show on Friday, March 8th 7:00pm to 9:00pm at the Winter Garden Gazebo.
This Month On March 16th, I’ll be playing a double bill with Ken Skeens & Leigh Goldsmith at the Trout Lake Nature center in Eustis. It’s another grand evening of music all for a small donation. Bring a dish for the pot luck dinner at 7 pm, the concert will start around 7:45 and join or listen in the song circle after the concert around 9:15. We’ll provide coffee and hot tea.
On Saturday, March 23rd from 3:15pm to 3:55pm, I’ll be performing at the Deland Art Festival. Then I’ll be sitting in on bass and guitar with JD Smith and Stan Geberer, known as Wild Cotton Revue, from 4:00 to 5:00. There will be music all day long, Saturday and Sunday. www.delandoutdoorartfest.com
FEBRUARY 2013 - HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ALL. I'm on a break from gigging, but I am doing a special performance. On Saturday, February 23rd, from 7:00 to 10:00pm, I'll be at Olivia's Coffeehouse in Eustis at their new location at 108 North Bay Street. Check out www.oliviascoffeehouse.com Yes. If you haven't been to Olivia's for a while, They moved across the street - bigger, better.
JANUARY 2013 - I woke early on the morning of December 21st, 2012, quite happy to discover that I hadn’t been hurled out in deep space on some small fragment of what was the Earth. As I lay in bed, I looked around the bedroom to make sure nothing had changed and was relieved to see that the condition of the room was still that of a chaotic mess. Quickly putting on clothes, I walked outside and surveyed the neighborhood. Everything looked as it did the night before. I checked on a few other things and found nothing had changed. Yup. I was still overdrawn at the bank and the mortgage was due.
DECEMBER 2012 - Rumor has it that I’ve canceled all my gigs and instead will be starring in a new reality show. Apparently, my people, in keeping up with the high caliber of reality shows, will have me traveling around the world going from city to city under an assumed name, Doctor Dufflebag. The purpose of my travels will be to find the most excellent bologna and cheese sandwich that the people of our world, the Earth, have ever tasted. READ

NOVEMBER 2012 - The year is quickening, Halloween behind us and Thanksgiving moments away. We've had some cold and windy weather here in Florida, but nothing compared to the pounding the North East has received from Hurricane Sandy. Yes. Though we are always a possible target for hurricanes in Florida, we have it good here, and certainly don't have the toughness of the folks up north. So yes. I don't like it when it gets a bit cold here and I certainly don't miss the cold winters spent in Cleveland, Ohio. READ

SEPTEMBER 2012 - September is but a few days away. I’m typing here at the computer, to the sound of the morning rain. It rained most of the night. We’re getting a slight residue of Hurricane Isaac as it travels northwest into the Gulf of Mexico, sparing Florida. It seems though that it might go through Louisiana. Sad thought. READ

MAY 2012 - Yes. It’s May and spring is in the air, but in Florida, it’s May and summer is in the air. Haven’t yet turned on the air conditioner. Save a little money as long as we can. All the windows are opened in the music room and I sit here at the computer, sweating. Here are my gigs for the month of May. READ
