I had a good January between my birthday, my friend visiting, trip to San Francisco, Corey Harris residency, opening acts, DJ Sep, Jack Tuttle, will bernard, Gunn basketball, Stanford basketball; looking forward to February shows at The Mitch there is Edward Simon, Trio and Stephan Crump opening; at Palo Alto Art Center there is the Du of Jim Campilongo and Adam Levy; there are nine other shows to start getting the word out for including never come down at Johnson Park, real time collective at The Mitch, and Caroline Davis in May. I’m also looking forward to not one but two Bill Frisell 75th birthday party shows one at the Hertz theater and one locally at the Guild.
