Please join me for another solo appearance at Galactic Quest in Lawrenceville on Saturday, August 8.  I’ll be playing originals with a few covers and traditionals, even some I didn’t play there in April.  As before, some are sincere, some are silly, some are both, and it will be a fun evening.  Feel free to click on the Listen/Watch link at the top of the page for some highlights from the previous show there.  There’s no cover at the door; it’s choose your own admission, so I hope you’ll attend.  We all had a great time at the last one and we will this time as well.

So no Teal kilts in Carvershire this fall.  The closest thing to a Teal Sighting in New England (with the exception of seeing Mark around town) will be at the after-faire open mic event that John hosts at Pomodore’s in Wareham.  I will be in the region on Sunday, September 27 without a need to get up at 4:00 on Monday morning, and that will be my one chance to see and hang out with King Richard’s Faire folk.  It is an open mic event, and how many of my own songs I actually get to play will depend on how many others want to play songs, but I am told that last fall my bandmates actually wound up doing a full set with Mark.  So who knows?  I’ll be there, and I’ll do something, so I hope I get to see some of you there.

We had a fun time at the Dancing Monkey’s “A Mid-Southern Night’s Dream” production, and I enjoyed getting to sing some good Southern rock songs such as “Statesboro Blues”, “Can’t you see?”, and(for those who have that fever for which the only prescription is more cowbell) “Mississippi Queen.”  The next show is “Monkey Beach Party” on August 28-30 at the Academy.

If you were planning on attending the Lost Boys’ Fan Appreciation Night, you should know that the band found out recently that the event will not take place at the James Joyce as it has the past two years.  Fortunately, an alternative venue was secured.  The event will now be held at the nearby Push Push Theater.  The address is 121 New St, Decatur GA 30030.  Having played a Lost Boys show at the Push Push I can tell you it will be a good venue, although details for this event are still being finalized so that the band can somehow try and and make it kinda work for everyone.  Stay tuned for more details on that.  I’ll send a newsletter out to my mailing list.

In other news,  I begin recording my CD later this month!  Once all the session dates are booked I will let you know when the release date is.  That’s all for now and I hope to see you soon, whether it’s at a house concert in Arizona, a comic store in Georgia, or a restaurant in Massachusetts!
