This was a gathering of people... first class people, from all over the country, and even the United Kingdom and Canada were representing. We all "met" and chat on a Goldwing message board which is an amazing resource of knowledge, not just about the motorcycles we ride, but just about anything you want to inquire about. The comradery and the friendships developed here are unsurpassed! This community has also gathered and donated large amounts of money for the Mabel Hall fund... the young daughter of one of our members who was born with cystic fibrosis. |

He's kicking ass on guitar and drums, and I'll have him singing in no time. I was also joined by my friends Maureen and Jill, who are wonderful people, and excellent performers. The three of us harmonize like we've been doing it our whole lives. They played with me for 4 hours + on this day, and I really enjoy playing with them. You can catch them around various clubs in New Jersey. Thanks ladies! |

Another gig at Moby Dick's in Sewaren (Woodbridge) in Feb., 2004.

He also brought an upright bass that you'll see leaning against the wall in these photos. He actually has to stand up to play that one. This was the first time Gene and I jammed together in around 20 years! We had such a blast... you'll be seeing and hearing more of Gene in the future. Good to see ya shipmate! |

While hanging out in Phoenix, Arizona, Bruce Hornsby played for about 150 of us at a private diner I attended. I assisted in setting up his stage, and I tried talking him into letting play a song with him, but he didn't go for it. For those of you who don't know who he is, well..."that's just the way it is... and some things will never change." (Jan. 2004) |
 |
Santa was in the house over the holidays. (2003-2004) He dropped in, had some Christmas spirits with us, gave Weezer (my coolest ferret) some lovin', then we jammed in my studio til the wee hours. Santa kicks on drums! |
