Howdy, folks.
Big doin's in the Raleigh area, blasting into the new year.
A little break due after the slam of December.
But only a little.

Starting another round of Ukelele group lessons for Artsplosure of Raleigh in February.
Playing a new room on Tuesday, Jan 28, the Pittsboro Roadhouse in Pittsboro NC, an historic site---an acoustic solo dinner set.

More info soon on More Big Doin's!
Wow.
Triple-gig New Years' Eve, 2 shows fronting the RALEIGH UKELELE ENSEMBLE featuring my partners in crime JOE KNOWLTON and LORETTA VALENSKI. And the ukelele class students ROCKED!
The first show ended at 5:00pm. At 5.0.01.....well, you know these disaster movies where you see a tidal wave sweeping toward the helpless crowd, who scramble in vain to escape? We were swept aside by a crowd of grimly gleeful, hopping jump-ropers, and their young audience. I risked life and limb to rescue a ukelele separated from its' owner by a surge of little trampling feet!!
The second show was an opening for the Durham Ukelele Orchestra and YouTube superstar James Hill.
By my third gig, with Harry (the Resonators), my voice was---pretty good! That authentic 'tired' sound, but good control.
PS!! New LIVE BAND VIDEO on the YouTube:
