Some new friends surprised me at my first Jacksonville area singing event, and it made things even sweeter. Thank you, and thanks to the wonderful musicians of Swing and a Miss, and the St. Augustine Jazz Society. We got a beautiful reception and I believe we all had a terrific time. 😁

From the archives. A gig at Venice (Florida) Arts Center with Bill Buchman and Steve Arvey. Steve is an incredible guitarist and human compendium of American blues knowledge. He’s also an aficianado of cigar box guitars. I think this must have been 2016. In those days I could only stand for about 40 seconds without pain and I used a cane to walk, and alcohol to dull my senses. I refused to take narcotics as those killed my mom. I did my drinking at home. I know it makes no sense but nothing did in those days other than music. Within a few months of this fun little concert, I was using a wheelchair. Back surgery gave me my whole life back. Thank you science, thank you friends ❤️, thank you music!!!

Had lots of fun at this legendary spot, singing with legendary delta blues guitarist Jimmy “Duck” Holmes, making sh&$ up as I went. Everybody there made me feel right at home.
