I still play even if I don't post... [June & July gigs] Updated! (again!)

Update: Added Sakekawa Japanese Steakhouse in the Woodlands for Saturday, July 5th. =)
Update: Added Whole Foods store in Champions (Grand Opening) =)
Yep, I haven't been very good about posting my monthly schedule, have I? *shame*
But, you can surmise that the weekly gigs carry on, heh-heh (Mondays at Grappino, Tuesdays at Vine Wine Room, Thursdays at Hungry's NextDoor Bar).
p.s. Way too many 'worm' dates on the weekend... I humbly suggest you have a private party and hire me to strum my strums on your patio, living room, etc. =D

The Demise of YouTube...

This past Sunday (Jan 19, 2014), I was the Guest Musician for Houston Oasis Gathering.
I played 4 songs (all covers). Music starts at 1:30, after a little bit of hype by TC Smythe. (thanks, TC!) =D
By the way, the reason I look so shifty in my seat is because I am playing a bass pedal midi keyboard with my feet. (click to see a pic)

January

If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it still make a sound? (yes!)
If a musician forgets to post his monthly calendar, does he still play gigs and pay his rent on time, with money left over for beer? (yes!)

This month, I have more weekends off than a banker. Once again, I will have to put off 'early retirement'. =(
(Due to the polar vortex, Grappino canceled the early week music)
