Been a Long, Long Time

As I recall, my computer crashed in mid-2019, but I was able to make one last update on a different system just as the COVID-19 pandemic hit home around March 2020. 

In between those two dates, Paul retired. He’d always said that when his wife retired from her job, he would retire from music. It was a big loss to the Kaye Pasa Trio as a group and to me personally. I wish him all the best. 

On May 8, 2021, Kaye invited me to join her on the outdoor stage at the Three Legged Goat in downtown Pflugerville for her residency gig as the Saturday night opening act. 

The following Friday, I performed solo at The Watercrest in Bryan, and on Sunday, I was playing with Kaye again as a duo at the Hole in the Wall in Austin. 

May 29, we played another indoor gig (in May, we were all kinda acting like the pandemic was over) at Mango Tango in Georgetown. 

June 9, Kaye and I were back in Walburg for the first time since 2019. 

On June 13, I performed with the Austin Ukulele Society Ensemble at a memorial service for our friend Kevin Jolly. 

June 22 saw us back at the Hole in the Wall. It’s a tips. Not worth it, monetarily, but we ended up with a pretty good crowd who seemed to enjoy our music.

July 29 would be my last indoor gig for a while due to the resurgence of COVID, especially with its new Delta variant. It was just an open mic at Giddy Ups, and I only went for a chance to visit Lynette Wolfe who was in the area visiting from Colorado. 

July 17 and 31 were Kaye’s regular shows at 3LG, and I happily played the first one. The July 31 show, however, originally contradicted Cousins Weekend, but we had to cancel it to due COVID concerns. I would have opted for the AUS open mic at Kick Butt Coffee, but it was another indoor gig, and the AUS leader Bob Guz rightly chose to cancel it, too. 

Last night, Kaye and I performed at Dale’s Essenhaus in Walburg. Small crowd, and very hot, but we did okay in tips. We were a last-minute replacement for some other act. We have another Thursday show schedule there for August 26.
