Every Sunday morning, at St. Mary's of the Assumption Church in Deal, NJ
I'll be raising my voice to the heavens at the 10:00 AM mass. You don't need to be Catholic, or even religious, it's just nice to hang in God's house for an hour. Stop in and recharge your batteries.
OK FOLKS, IT'S A NEW PAGE ON A NEW CALENDAR YEAR
LET'S HOPE IT'S A GOOD ONE FOR ALL OF US.

Feb. 25
7:30 - 10:00pm With my trio at The Distillery in Long Branch. No cover, a reasonable minimum and the best selection of vodka, gin, bourbon, rye, light rum and a full menu of creative mixed drinks. This is a BYOF, which translates into bring your own food. Because it's a distillery, their license doesn't allow for the cooking of food, but you can bring your own, or order from the many surrounding restaurants that routinely deliver food to the room. Very, very cool room. Big comfy chairs and a great vibe.

We've all had just about enough of Covid, and while it's not gone, it's time to move on.
So meanwhile, friends, fans and fellow musicians,
hang tough, stay safe and God willing I'll be adding to this page soon.
With much affection................................
