HELLO Y'ALL! Gonna make this one short & sweet... No public performances in December this year... but I'll start the New Year off with bells on when I return to LENNY'S in WESTBROOK on Thursday, JAN 9th!

2. TARGET GIGS (Full Details)

THURSDAY / JANUARY 9th / LENNY'S / WESTBROOK ME / 6:30 to 9PM / 207-591-0177... My first gig in the New Year! We always have a blast here... The food is awesome & affordable, the staff is wicked fun & really good at what they do... & the list of artists performing here is topnotch. I am honored to be on that list, playing every other month. I hope you'll join us for the fun, the food, the music & the camaraderie! And THANKS for remembering the suggested donation for music is $10 pp in "Phil" the tip basket ("Phil" is short for "fill it up please!")

SATURDAY / FEBRUARY 8th / CADENZA / FREEPORT ME / 7PM / 207-560-5300... Cadenza has become one of the best listening rooms around. Being part of the LIVE audience here is an intimate & lovely experience.... Plus, they have beer, wine, coffee & other beverages & snacks... AND, you can order food from Brickyard Hollow next door & they deliver it to Cadenza! Reservations are strongly encouraged. A word of caution: please don't wait until the last minute, hoping to buy tickets at the door, as the doors may not open... staff needs to be paid before performers & there have been times when low presales dictated that the owners had to cancel or reschedule shows. This hasn't happened to me yet & I hope it never does. This is one of my fave rooms to play, unlike any other... so thanks in advance for ordering your seats ahead of showtime! Tickets will be available online soon... & we will share that link when we get it. The Livestream Link is here. Donations during the stream (or anytime!) are always greatly appreciated at:

3. CURRENT CEREBRAL WANDERING

I'm hoping y'all had much to be grateful for this Thanksgiving. The older I get, the more I appreciate my good health, family, friends, every day & every moment. I spent Thanksgiving upta Moosehad Lake with Eric... we cooked up a BIG turkey with all the fixins.... hadn't done that in a few years. My fave part is making turkey soup the day after.... an all day event & a labor of love... we'll be enjoying turkey soup until maybe March.

Tis the season to get out the wintah clothes & pray for snow. The weather is so weird now, no tellin' how much outdoor snow frolicking I'll get to do. I still miss the large expanse of woods behind my home... it was gobbled up by a mess of cookie cutter homes & asphalt drives in 2016. These days, I need to travel elsewhere looking for places to enjoy the beauty & peacefulness of the Maine woods in winter. My heart remembers years of lovely times out there in all seasons... but winter was my fave.

Here's wishing you safe & soulful holidays & a smooth path ahead into the New Year. I'll be out there looking for a path like the one in this picture! Thanks for tuning in to my ramblings... your support means more to me than you can know.

Peace,
