Great month!

3/31/2017

What an incredibly fun month March was! The Kaye Pasa Trio played eight gigs together in four cities, ending with today's show at The Watercrest in Bryan, Texas, and they were all great fun.

Having Paul back with us for each gig was a big plus for Kaye and me. We sound much tighter than before, and I'm even becoming more comfortable with the harmonies.

On March 28, I bought an Alvarez "hybrid" guitar. Its six nylon strings are set up like a classical, but it has a slightly narrower neck and a decidedly improved built-in pickup. Unlike my no-name POS classical, the Alvarez sounds and plays good with its spruce front and mahogany sides and back. The old guitar had a laminate front. 

Great month of music. Looking forward to April, too.

Walburg

Great night with the Kaye Pasa Trio at Walburg tonight. At first, it looked like we wouldn't have much of a crowd, but by the time we took the stage, we had a fairly good size audience.

The crowd--and the owner--LOVED us! We played an 11-song set, which probably ran a little longer than usual, but the crowd clearly wanted more. We closed with "Hot Pepper Tamale," and about half of 'em got on their feet to dance and sing along with the "horns section."

Absolutely wonderful evening. Thanks, Walburg.

Great night at Twin Creeks Hall. Every act was fantastic, and it all was to help raise money for better stage and stage lighting. Especially noteworthy were Lynette & Lefty, Ella Reid, Kaye Pasa Trio, and CLYDE.

Honky Tonk Hymnal is available for sale at CDBaby.
After some initial problems uploading my new album to my online distributor, I received an email at 3:22 AM confirming that Honky Tonk Hymnal is now available online. To download its songs, go to CDBaby.com or other major online music sites, including iTunes and Amazon.com. (UPDATE: It took a couple of days for it to get on Apple Music and Amazon Music.)

Fischer Haus Concert Series

Had a wonderful time with the tribe of Clyde at the Fischer Haus Concert. After an especially good Clyde show, I joined a song circle at the fire pit with other campers and Clyde members. In some ways, it was like a mini-music festival. Great practice run before Old Settlers next month. Side note: I really need to buy a decent cot for my next camp outing.

Second Friday of the month is still our Legacy Day. This time, however, I'm thinking of it more as a rehearsal for tomorrow's Kaye Pasa Trio CD release at Twin Creeks.

It's a bit of a drive to go to Bob Case's open mic at Hardtails in Georgetown, but it was fun, and I got to meet the owner, Martha. Gave her a copy of HTH.
