Laryngitis

Hi for the second time this week everyone. What a difference one day makes.
I would have to hire some one if I was sending out voice mails instead of E mails. Laryngitis has claimed another victim and it's me! I will not be performing at Amici Miei Friday night and I'm bummed. I've received many E mails and phone calls from folks planning to attend. I'll have to wait a month before my next date there. However, there will be other places between now and then so stay tuned as I'll be sending out another E mail early next week.
On a bright note, last night I attended a concert at "The Tin Angel" in Philadelphia. One of my best friends from high school (Jeff Campbell) invited me to see his son Jeff Campbell Jr. perform with acoustic guitar and vocals. What a pleasure it was to hear this young man put his talents on the line in front of a packed house. Jeff Jr. is an excellent singer/songwriter who supports himself well with his guitar playing.
His original contemporary style introduced me to a genre of young musicians and songwriters that I'm so glad to know are out there. I was beginning to despair that heart felt music had been replaced by the cold hearted marketing of MTV. These kids are turning it around. I was honored to be there.
