Been a while since I've posted on here . I've been busy doing the solo Acoustic thing and have been playing out. This is the best thing I've ever done in all my years of playing to be honest. I don't miss the band thing and no longer have to babysit egos, etc. LOL. The Crate amp that's in the video has been replaced with a Fishman Loudbox mini which I bought a couple of months ago and I love it. For those of you who are in R.I. and Mass. I do have a few gigs lined up if you're interested in going . Here are the locations and dates if you're interested , thanks ;

February 17th - Western Hotel Tavern & Pizza ,610 Douglas Turnpike , Harrisville ,R.I. 6:30-9:30

February 23rd - Duffin's Pub , 215 Division St. Pawtucket , R.I. 8:30-12:30

March 3rd - Harmony Lodge , 102 Putnam Pike , Harmony, R.I . 6-9

June 8th - The Downtown , 292 W. Main St. , Norton , Mass. 8:30-11:30

I can use all the support I can get, thanks.

I am in Central MAss, a bit of a toot from where you'll be.

Good luck with the solo work.

I started on that journey myself last summer. I was surprised 2 things.

1: way easier than I thought it would be
2: was more likable as a solo player/performer than I assumed I'd be.

good luck Jeff.

I live some distance from those gigs you have lined up so I unfortunately am a no show. On the other hand I got to see and hear what you have to offer so that was a treat.

Break a leg on those gigs, Jeff, and most of all have fun.

Sounds good. 8) I'm glad to see you're out there doing your thing now. I remember you had a rough patch with getting ripped off with that other guy and all of that. You're probably better off in the long run. Sometimes, more people, more problems.

I have never been happier doing my own thing guys. I love being my own boss , calling the shots, etc . Before when I was doing the band thing , I had to put up with egos, drama , people who were more concerned with partying rather than playing music, etc, etc. I'm pushing 59 years old now and I just got tired of dealing with all of that . I now consider everything that happened in the past, a learning experience . In this life you take what you get and run with it , which is IMO, something a lot of folks don't tend to do these days . I'm a blessed man and am the happiest I have ever been !
