Hey Folks, been off the website for awhile now, using thaat damn Face Book. I'll be heading out to Gold Hill Colorado to be a part of The Gold Hill Inn's 60th celebration. That's right, this family owned restaurant has been serving fine dining at 8000 feet for 60 years! Saturday August 13, I'll start off with my old friend , Blues Man John Long. It's been 23 since we played together, can't wait. Then, Dan Sadowsky, Dan and Chaz, will be performing some hits from the legendary Ophelia Swing that were primary members of. There will be a few surprise guests on this one. Closing out the night is Mollie O'Brien and Rich Moore. Mollie was a member of Prosperity Jazz Band with me in early 80's.I'll play couple songs with them, then we close out the night with big time jam and singalong. Sunday will be David "The Captain" Booker, we'll be reprising our duo tour of Holland we did way back when. Next is Joe McLerran Family Band featuring Rob McLerran. Rob and I go back to my first band in Boulder, The Earthbirds, and a couple more after that. Rob's son Joe and grandson John Lee fill out the band. Closing out the Fest is Rampart Street Brass Bad from Denver. I'll be playing some with them, they specialize in New Orleans brass band music. Whew!, it's gonna be fun, kinda like a Last Waltz, as I probably won't play with most of these folks again. Special guests sprinkled throughout will be Fly McClard, Duane Webster, Marguerite Juenemann of Rare Silk fame. Not much else happening back home in New Orleans in August, as a lot of clubs close or restrict music for August. as it's really slow then.I'll do a better job of updating in the future. You can buy merch on this site, it'll keep me out of the poor house! Be safe,bee well and se y'all somewhere
