You have missed some incredibly wild and crazy gigs. I had two gigs on Saturday. The Helen Hayes Hospital Atrium solo show in West Haverstraw featured a cold autumn afternoon and a beautiful location on the Hudson River. Evan Ginzburg's night time birthday bash at Quinn's Bar in Flushing was a hoot with every genre of entertainment on the bill including magic, art, comedy, poetry, and all kinds of music. And Sunday's gig at BB King's Lucille's Lounge featured Eric Udel and Mal Stein plus sit ins Richard Lee (fluglehorn) and Thomas Hutchings (sax).
This week will feature gigs in Short Hills NJ, Rockaway, and 2 gigs in Philadelphia with Lisa Chavous & The Philadelphia Blues Messengers.
