And then the dust settled

According to my partner in crime, Kevin Roughton, last sunday’s gig was gig number 96 with 4 days off.

I played a few gigs with some other folks, so my own personal number might be slightly different.

Now the dust has settled.

Thank you to Kevin for keeping me sooo busy.

Thanks to Ed for taking me fishing and dorking out with me occasionally.

Thanks to all of the ladies in my life that keep me on my toes, you know who you are, i hope.

Thanks to all of the regulars who keep coming out and supporting us.

Thanks to all of the Outer Banks music scene for making me feel welcome and appreciated.

Stay tuned for news about improv classes and perhaps a bass clinic or two.

Also, i would like to announce my plans to do new two new recording projects this winter.

One is going to be a Wilder Brothers record of mostly if not all original material.

The second is going to be just me and my bass on every tune, which will be an interesting challenge.

If you still don’t have my Maine Mexico Mixtape, please drop me an email with your address and i’ll get one out to you.

I still haven’t finished the cover for my recital recording, but that’s on it’s way too, i promise.

Anyone know a good place to get my haircut?

Here are a couple of recent videos of me playing way too many notes with the Wilder Brothers.

Spain

here’s a little gem that i stumbled across while wandering around youtube.

the first place Kirsten and I went to try and find me some work while in Mexico was a latin jazz jam session at a beach bar called Cuates Y Cuetes. This place is owned by a wonderful woman and avid music fan named Esther(or Tete) and her husband jazz saxophonist Martin Montenegro...anyway, they became good friends of mine as i continued to haunt their session while scrambling for gigs and brought all of our visitors there for drinks and general beachside hangmanship.

they do this thing where they host a few big concerts a year where they rent a big stage and go all out on the sound system and they feature mostly latin jazz and fusion, so they invited julio and i to play…and they also invited Memo Suarez to play with us as well. This would have been fine if we had stuck to more familiar repetoire, but we really wanted to play Spain. So, if you can get past poor Memo trying to hang on while we drag him through this tune here it is:

I had a lot of fun this day. I LOVE CUATES Y CUETES. it was my Mexican cheers.

Live in Mexico!

Here are some videos of me playing with my good friend Julio Palacios. We play 3 times a week at this hotel right on the beach. We see the sun set everyday as we are setting up. It’s pretty sweet. My friend John Notto was here visiting us and he shot this footage. Enjoy![
