A month has passed since the Celebration of Life for my sister Barbara King. Time moves on and as much as I may wish people would stop dying or moving or getting sick, it just means I have to make the most out of what is still there. The actual celebration was held at UNR (the University of Nevada, Reno) on… Read more →

Between
The time between Barbara’s passing and her celebration of life/memorial gave us enough time to plan something nice. But not the time to overthink it. When she was in hospice we were talking about a date in May. But by the time I returned to Hampden the new date was moved up a month to April 2nd. There were emails back and… Read more →
Upcoming adventures
I am in the process of starting an actual email list for music (probably with Mail Chimp).

In between I wanted to go to the Infinity Hall open mic again and probably something local with Charlie. Lizard Lounge Open Mic… Read more →

Upcoming: Nov. 30 ~ Dec. 8
These are a few upcoming music events. Some are definite. Some are definite maybes! Some are likely. If the weather is bad I might not go to some of the open mics, but these are on my radar. I am trying to find venues to perform at so I do stupid things like driving to Cambridge to sing two songs at 10… Read more →
