Greetings friends. The world keeps getting smaller, and my appearances this month will go from my newer home state of Massachusetts out to my former - and beloved -Pacific Northwest for my 19th Annual return tour since moving back east from Seattle in 2000.
|
This month we also celebrate the 15th Anniversary year of the Full Moon Open Mic,
our very occasional but always delightful and surprising gathering where we sing, read, carry on, AND collect free-will donations for local non-profits (coming up on $15,000 cumulatively over the years). A great article came out this week in the Cape Cod Chronicle, with thanks to journalist Russ Allen and Jake Jacobson (for the photo).

Thus after this and two more Massachusetts appearances in Marblehead 4/13, and Pittsfield (4/19) I'll head out to Washington and Oregon at the end of the month for many annual events and a few new ones in a land that I love.
|
And here's an update from my wife's cousin Kel Kelly about her amazing and selfless work with the organization she founded - Humanity Rises - in Bangladesh. Kel always gives me more perspective than I could ever gain on my own.

More concerts, workshops, and adventures cropping up all the time. And I don't mind if you throw me your ideas either. Have song, will travel. You have my gratitude in year #31 of this unexpected (and full-time) musical journey.
