HELPING HAITI PROJECT
Thanks to everyone who bought CDs and otherwise helped our efforts to bring
relief to Haiti. All CD sales for the month of January were contributed to Haitian
relief efforts by Partners in Health. To date, we've raised $150. If you'd like to
participate, you're more than welcome to order a CD and have your payment
forwarded to Partners in Health. Send me an e-mail for more details.
Or you can just contribute on your own. But if you’d rather receive a free CD,
get in touch.
WHO’S IN MIAMI?
Yes, they are. The question is why.
We're talking about next Sunday’s Super Bowl and The Who are the halftime
entertainment. Now, don't get me wrong. I’m a big Who fan from way back (I
won't tell you how far back). Love their stuff.
But c'mon now. They're a British band and I’ll bet they think this is a soccer
game. "Football" is "soccer" across the pond. Or is it the other way around? You
think Roger Daltry knows what a post pattern is? Right. Those guys don’t know
the difference between a nickel package and a nickel bag.
It would have made far more sense to bring in some good ol' American talent.
I'd do it for a fraction of what The Who are charging. I could use the exposure
and would love to get back on the stadium circuit.
What probably happened is the NFL Entertainment guys saw I was booked for
Feb. 5 and 6, and figured that I wasn't available. They should have called. I
could've made some arrangements.
MOVING ON
I’m skipping my annual rant about not receiving a Grammy. But I am boycotting
the show. The first half hour, anyway.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
I'm very excited to be playing at the North Street Coffeehouse this Saturday.
It's a good old-fashioned coffeehouse with great snacks. I go on at about 9 and
an open mike precedes my 45-minute feature set. Admission is $10 but only $5
if you play some tunes at the open mike. So it's sort of like getting paid $5 to
perform. You can tell people you’re professional.
A belated happy New Year to you all. Let's hope for some peace and prosperity.
Happy Holidays to you all.
