songwriting, Songalive! Bay to Breakers, et. al


It's a music week: Monday was a great Song Collective meeting at Wendy's. A dozen of us trading brand new songs in Wendy's living room over dinner. I'm appearing several times this week in different musical configurations, tonight at a Songsalive! showcase and Sunday during and after Bay to Breakers (no, I'm not running and playing but surely someone will be). I'd love to see you.......

Tonight, Wednesday May 14

It's the Songsalive! San Francisco Showcase.
