Gig Emails From the Past

Pretty much every week I send out a gig email letting folks on my email list know where I’m playing and what I’ve been up to. I’ve been doing this for years and having a ton of fun with it. I like exploring the inner mechanics of the English language with special emphasis on the slang factor. It’s jazz but riffin’ on a slightly different medium.

If so inclined, venture further back in time to the read what’s been going on.

If you are not receiving my weekly update and you want to, take a trip to The Loop, fill in your vitals, and magically I’ll add you to the revolution. Yours will be a charmed, entertained, and informed life.
