Hi Folks,
I'm looking
forward to two upcoming concerts celebrating National Women's History
month. It's a fine opportunity to focus on old songs and female
musicians that have influenced me over the years.
And
it’s my privilege to be part of a double bill concert in Portland with
Mary Flower, amazing woman picker, singer and writer. It’ll be an
intimate afternoon show, Mar. 3 at Strum Guitar. Details in my
calendar. Later in the month I’ll be giving a solo “informance” at
Pacific University in Forest Grove. That will be a full show and
includes more historic and cultural content about the music and singers.
Pete
Krebs joins me at the Schooner in Netarts Feb. 10 and there are several
other local shows where I’ll be providing mostly ambient music.
Hope to see you soon.

Hardly Strictly Irish, Tunes, songs and blarney
Plenty of Celtic tunes, songs and blarney. I hear you may get to try my favorite drink, "Muskadoodle". But then, if there are muskadoodles, I'll have to tell you how I learned about them. It was on a very dark and wet night outside of Galway ...
