Tick Tock Goes The Clock...

I thought my visit to Seattle would seem long, but with all the Shakespeare performances and visits with friends my time here has gone by quickly. Nearing my last days here, I still haven't covered all the things I had wanted to do. That's the way. Isn't it?

I have 2 shows of music and poetry before I head down to Austin for the National Poetry Slam Convention. I'll be at The New Orleans Creole Restaurant performing jazz, pop, and originals on Sunday 7/22. I'm the featured guest at the Seattle Poetry Slam Tuesday night 7/17. Both gigs will enable me to do original material and present a talented friend, Evan Gackstatter, on guitar. His band, Dr G and the Funky Recovery (www.myspace.com/drgandthefunkyrecovery) will play the New Orleans gig with me. Eric Verlinde, who played for years with me in Seattle, will grace the piano with his presence. I can't wait for all the musical madness to happen.

One thing my journey has taught me so far is to embrace collaboration. I love to create and having spontaneous, creative energy around me is amazing! Check back for pix and postings from the above mentioned gigs.

Enjoy life!

What a great experience working with you ... you are truly gifted and talented ... I love you more than words can describe ... I know I left quietly that last night ... I couldn't say goodbye to you - I won't ... I'm so glad God had the sense to make us friends ... love you more than anything,
