Acoustic Summer Almost Gone

Can you believe it?  It’s August and summer is quickly coming to a close.  As much as I hate to see that, I have to say that I love the fall in Michigan.  My fall schedule will slow down but, that’s not a bad thing.  It allows me time to plan and prepare for our winter trip to Key West and Florida in February, 2019.

I have a couple of dates already booked with the trio at Virgilio’s.  There are some serious logistic issues to this trip such as, do we drive or fly.  It’s all about what equipment to bring, for me.

LIVING ROOM CONCERTS (House Concerts):

I seek living room venues, for this trip, between the dates of Feb. 08 and, Feb. 24, give or take and in states, from southern Michigan to Florida.  This would include, at the least, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennesee, eastern Alabama, Georgia (greater Atlanta area).  Best of all I cost you nothing.

Summer in West Michigan

Well, you have to admit that I don’t exactly fill your email inbox with a lot of unnecessary emails.  I like to stay in touch.  But, I just get way too many emails every day, as I’m sure you do, too. So, unless I actually, have something to say to you or, it has just been long enough that I need to drop by and at least say “Hello”, you don’t hear too much from me.  Usually, I feel like I don’t have that much to say.  But then, I start writing like this and I find I have plenty.
