Wish I was home tonight, playing with Bill, Raoul and Dave at Caffe Sole! Gi will be there singing with them and I hope you will get out and enjoy the sound of Brasil! I will not be there, still out on tour with Lionel Young Band. We have had some real highlights out here and met lots of great people.
Writing you from the Shenandoah Valley where we came for an unusual gig at the Plan B Cafe in Broadway, VA. I honestly was not too sure if we would even stay for the 2 days we were booked here - and we ALWAYS play what we've booked. I mean, there have been a few gigs along the way that we certainly felt like pulling out of half-way thru a set, even before a note was played! But Plan B turned out to be gem. Not the biggest dance, but a very special connection with a community of fine people, and a real godsend as well.
Plans change sometimes and this one was out of our hands - a little car trouble forced us to cancel today's engagement in Philadelphia, and we are very lucky indeed to have encountered this in as friendly a place as Broadway. Special thanks to George and Lisa Neall for their hospitality, safe haven, and friendship, not to mention their great food and clientele at Plan B.
Here is the list for dates coming up - send your friends if you cannot make it - remember, they must say hi before they leave. And be sure to note the (relatively few) Denver/Boulder gigs.
Love,
Dexter
