All Saints

Dear faithful blog readers!

All saints. Days of the Dead. Trick or Treat. Nights are darker, winds are fiercer. Summer sun perfectly stored up in harvest.The spirit of fall is upon us!

I have been remiss - chalk it up to a busy schedule. Just finished a fine blues tour with Little Joe McLerran and Robbie Mack with dates in OK, IA, IL! Plus a Little Joe demo session with the addition of Andre Bohren. Yeah, you right! Andre is the New Orleans drummer of renoun, son of Spencer Bohren, currently with Johnny Sketch. A very cool quartet you will be hearing more from!

Meanwhile, back in Colorado... tonight (FRI) I have a couple of sets with Lionel Young Band at the Boulder Outlook Hotel (800 28th St). This is a really fine band - picked to represent our region at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis next Feb. Come and help the Blues Society raise expense money for our trip.

Keep in mind if you are of the Balkan (or any other) brass band persuasion, that Gora Gora Orkestar will hold forth FRI at the Laughing Goat (Pearl St) beginning at 9:30pm. I will be racing there to catch the last of the set!

SAT at 8pm the party moves to Denver with the Kailin Yong Peace Project at Swallow Hill . Music Assoc - Tuft Aud. (71 E Yale at B'way) the band is heading into the studio this month to make what should be an amazing album. Seeing is believing! Hearing, I mean. Intimate setting to witness the creative force at work! (Kailin Yong, Jesse Manno, Jeff Jenkins, Kim Stone, Bret Bowen, Dexter Payne)

And just to prove it, the Kailin Yong Peace Project will be playing in Denver the next night SUN @ 8pm at Dazzle (9th & Lincoln) Did I mention this is an amazing band?  (Kailin Yong, Jeff Jenkins, Kim Stone, Carl Dixon, Bret Bowen, Dexter Payne)
Halloween costume party!

Boredom should not be a problem this weekend. Come on out - I will look for you there.
And be sure to say hi, even if you think I see through your disguise!!
