Greetings, whoever-reads-this! I'm sure it's Mozart Day in Salzburg and Vienna and a few such places. If Mozart were alive today, he'd be 278 years old.
One of my groups had its first gig on Mozart's birthday, back in the days of Robbie's. Trying to remember whether it was 2005 or 2006, but it was a brand new year with a more-or-less brand new band. The Sam Crain Trio made its debut on that date.
Our second gig at Robbie's, late in September of that year, turned out to be Snoop Dogg's natal anniversary. Not as cool as Mozart, but still noted. And really, still cool--albeit in an anti-climactic sort of way. Got my mind on my money, and my money on my mind…
Current Music News. Still playing/practicing here in the Lab, doing my daily calisthenics on the guitar, and making videos here and there. My YouTube page is now up to a whopping 400 subscribers. Another milestone..
My next gig is still November 1st of this year, at Boone's. Once this year normalizes, I imagine something or other will come up. A couple of us have been getting together for jam sessions this past month, and that should pick back up.
Not much for news right now. I just wanted to pay my respects to good old Wolfgang, and to the old trio. We finally fizzled as a group sometime in 2015. In the words of our drummer Don Cochran, the flame had flickered. Bands, at least in my experience, seem to last about as long as a good TV series: 6 or 7 years.
Anyway! Thanks as ever for stopping in and reading. Happy whatever! More later. PS today's musical offering is a Fugue I wrote some years back. Probably more reminiscent of Bach, but fits the general bill. Hope you like it!
