February 2020

Hi All,

It’s a new year and I’m looking forward to it. I don’t know why but I’m feeling positive about this year. It’s my fifth year of teaching Drums and Guitar at Resonate Music School. Doesn’t seem that long!

Still playing the jam session at The Leaf Bar and Grill. I’m currently taking two months off from the jam. I have been doing Saturday afternoon jams for almost 10 years and decided it was time for a break. I expect to be back at the jam when I get back from Mexico early in April.

Howard and I are just putting the finishing touches on a new song called ‘The Avocado Man.’ It’s a song about a student of mine who brings me an Avocado every lesson. He said, ‘Your too skinny and need to eat more fat!’lol.

Thomas Alexander and the Fusion Experience is playing a couple of gigs this week. The Grey Men (my band) is currently looking for a Bass player. I try to play 2 or 3 times a week and have been true to that so far. Teaching has allowed me to practice almost every day so that is a good thing.

Teresia and I are off to Mexico again this year. We have gotten into the habit of going to The Jazz Fest in Puerto Vallarta in late March. I got a chance to jam with county band, a classic rock band and a jazz band last year. There’s lots of good players there and the are always willing to give me chance to jam.

Talk to ya’ll again soon!
