I had a very satisfying trip to the bay area in July and more than anything I appreciated the chance to meet so many friends in many places. I will be back in September, so please note locations on my calendar. I am also looking forward to taking the train from Seattle to Emeryville. I love train rides. August is a light month of music for me but I am especially looking forward to playing at Kenyon Hall where the crowd is friendly and listens well and our host Lou plays the mighty Wurlitzer during intermission.
