This was a very satisfying evening for me in every way. Lee Hyland hosted this singer/songwriter night and he was fantastic. He was gracious and incredibly talented and made everything look easy. Frank Allison followed and he was a joy to watch. His performances are always entertaining and highly recommended. Frank and I 
had a good laugh after the show talking about his brilliant song “The New Success”. Damn, if it doesn’t cut a little close to the bone… I played next and had the most interesting experience of playing with a live painter. Jody Bauman and I went in and out of time and space and both of us got something really cool out of it. I was also fortunate enough to be joined by guitarist Rob Nelson, who I had just met, for a couple of my songs. He played like he knew what was coming and it was great. I posted a video of our collaboration on “One Water” and another of “One More Candle” featuring Jody Bauman on the easel, on the video page. This was a night that you dream about having…
special. I recently wrote a song inspired by a friend of mine, Brian Delaney, who asked me to “write a song about the people of Flint, Michigan”. I did, and it came out in a very simple tune called “One Water”. So, I’m sitting there waiting and two minutes before it’s my turn to play, Gary appears! I ask him if he’d like to play with me and he said yes. Joe Judge, who is a great guy with a big heart and a beautiful soul took video of our improvised collaboration and sent it to me. I think it turned out kind of cool. You can see it on my video page. Thank you, Trinity House Theatre, for all the good things…
