My apology to you , the wonderful folks who came to listen on Wed, June 17. Believe me, had I known, I never would have invited you to come out, much less solicited your support! I hope that when I invite you to giggle with me in the future, that you will respond again with the same enthusiasm.
I enjoy making music for almost any audience but it is especially wonderful to play for friends, old and new, who have an interest in what we are trying to share. From the moment you walk in, we begin that magic exchange that makes each one of us more than we can ever be alone. I promise every effort to be clear and timely in my communication, and I hope the venue(s) will assist in that effort. You are what makes this valid and possible, and I am honored by your support. Nuff sed!

St Julien Hotel, Wed
St Julien Hotel, Wed June 17, 6:30pm. This will be the last chance to hear Dexter’s mix of Brazilian music (next show is on Wed, July 8th, also at the St Julien). So put it on the calendar, drop in and say HI!
We are negotiating for a more dates at the St Julien, so any vote of confidence is a great help, be it a call to the hotel asking for more of the Dexter Payne Quartet or just coming in to listen to the choros, dance to the samba and forro.
Meanwhile, I can no longer contain my excitement – I feel like a kid!
I have been offered a scholarship to attend Balkan Music Camp this summer in CA near Mendocino (June 27 – July 4). Needless to say, Im accepting! So, the last week of June… I head for Camp.
Makes me feel like a kid (I never actually went to a music camp as a youngster!!!) - a glorious week of gypsy music in the redwoods. No phone, no internet for a week. Anticipation is building!!!
Please come on out on Wed, and remember: the same Dexter Payne Quartet will be at the St Julien, July 8. (first gig when I get back!) – followed quickly by a string of blues dates with Little Joe McLerran. Check www.dexterpayne.com/calendar.html for all the dates.
All the best,
Dexter
