A full house at Riff’s made for a wonderful return to Park City, both for the workshop and for the evening concert. A splendid time was had by all, thanks to Scott Iwasaki’s great article in the Park Record, and Larry’s hard work in promoting the show. I hope it becomes an annual fall […]

It couldn’t have been a better tour-ending show, with my first visit to Fennville, MI, and Salt of the Earth. Many thanks to Mark Schrock and the staff at Salt of the Earth for great atmosphere, great food, and a wonderful show to cap off a great midwestern tour. Notable stops also at Three Lakes […]

It was another great visit to Carolyn’s Garden, here in Salt Lake City. The weather cooperated, the back yard was full, the food and drink were bountiful and delicious, and a fine time was had by all. Many of the attendees took time to thank Carolyn, whose backyard house concerts are approaching legendary status in […]

A great weekend in southern Utah was topped off in Torrey, where I closed out the Apple Days Festival concerts at the beautiful outdoor stage behind Robber’s Roost Bookstore. Kudos to the Entrada Institute, to the folks at the Roost, Adus Dorsey, and to Gary and Barbara at Cafe Diablo, whose food makes the trip […]

For everyone who has wondered about my relative lack of new posts, and touring activity of late- I’m just back into full action after rehabbing from the surgery that was done on my right hand in mid December, about one week before this picture was taken. It went exceedingly well, but I had to lay […]

                          The German leg of the tour has gotten off to a great start, with no jet lag, perfect fall weather, beautiful train rides, and, best of all, full houses of appreciative guitar fans. Many thanks to Christian from the Jazzclub Bruchsal, and […]

Another stellar evening in the front yard of Steve and Maggie Safford’s Angel Creek Ranch. It’s become an annual August event, and brought eastern Nevada’s acoustic music faithful to enjoy the music, the beer, and to wonder if a pear would drop on my head from above my shady concert spot this year.

Another great visit for my teaching week at Steve Kaufman’s gold medal-winning camp in Maryville, TN. A week of teaching, concertizing, fraternizing with old and new friends, both from among the teaching ranks and students as well. It’s a rejuvenating experience for all of us, not just students, and one that I look forward to […]

I received a nice surprise prior to my trip to the Smoky River Festival in Salina, Kansas- an invitation to perform on air for Radio Kansas’ popular nightly (except for Sundays) show Nightcrossings. It was a performance/interview format, in a studio space at the Radio Kansas office in Hutchinson, made even more enjoyable when several […]

The Atrium in the Student Center of Western Wyoming Community College has welcomed me many times, and this year was no exception. Performing while sharing space with life-sized dinosaur skeletons and surrounded by glass with a view of the entire valley, it’s been one of my favorite Wyoming spots for years. This year Valerie Ross […]

The last concert of my European tour was a perfect finale for the trip- beautiful setting, great sound, enthusiastic audience, good food and wine, and great weather, besides. Thirteen concerts in Germany, Austria and Germany, with the last in Bella Firenze… The somewhat odd name of the group, Six Bars Jail, comes from  a song […]

Two photos from my wonderful concert in Graz, Austria in late March.  Georg, the photographer, entered the house carrying more gear than I had. Another place to which I hope to return next trip! Special thanks to Doris and her staff, with a shout out to Lucas, my personal chauffeur and plastic CD box finder.
