Though computers as simple as they'd like to think they're getting, seem to complicate the simple. Thus the lack of recent blogs here--apologies.
UPDATE:
The most recent vocal/acoustic gig, today, November 26th, was really fun at the Holiday Market in Watertown. The vendors included everything from handmade jewelry. birdbaths, to Jams, fudge and amazing pestos. There was music from 1-4, including myself,solo, Roger Easton and Illuminata (female quartet). Yes, everything but the Hot Dog Stand. It only gets better with time. Looking forward to next year!
