The musical adventures have continued in full force during the first half of 2018. Lots of good times, happy campers and wonderful memories. The following is a video with pics from the first half of the year along with a loop composition I recently created.
Another year of making music and good times in the books. So fortunate to have had so many opportunities to play music and entertain folks. I am grateful for friends and fans who come out for the music adventures. This video is a recap of some of the shows. It actually has the first couple of shows from the new year included. The music selections are live recordings. The first two were at a private party in 2011 (Shedfest). The third is an original recorded live at Rick;s Music World in 2010.
The first half of 2017 has been great for making music making life better. Looking back on the first half of this year I am grateful for all the people who came out to shows and to the venues that support live music. Lots of happy memories were made. The following video just captures some of them. The music is a recording of my friend John Hurd's song Friends that I recorded with Bob Bartlett and Mary Cooke.

Rock And Roll Diary
Now that summer is over it's time to reflect on a great season playing at the Sand Dollar Bar in Dennisport. Here is a video with pics from the Sand Dollar this summer.
Now that summer is over this post is a reflection on a great season at Daddy's Beach Club at Nantasket Beach in Hull. Here is a video with a collection of photos from this summer along with a song recorded at Daddy's.
August 12, 2016 brought a return to Jo's Nautical Bar in Hull MA. Jo's Nautical has a quite a history. My last performance at Jo's Nautical was a great time so I looked to this gig with great anticipation. It is an early start at Jo's Nautical (7 PM).
I was thrilled to see my friends Bob and Julie walk in with a group. In the group was another friend Mark Shom, an award winning entertainer and great guy. Mark consented to join me for a song and sang a rendition of Sweet Caroline.
I've met some nice people at Jo's Nautical Bar. Until recently I hadn't even been to this part of Hull. My perspective of Hull was that it ended at the end of Nantasket Beach. If you venture further towards the tip of Hull where Jo's is located you will see a beautiful vista of Boston across the ocean and other great scenery. Search for the waterway Hull Gut to get an idea where Jo's Nautical is located. Check out this promo video for the show that has a Google Earth zoom to see where exactly Jo's Nautical is on the planet.
