Just in from Bruce & Rob

Hi,
Just to let you know that Kunkel and Harris are playing 2 shows in May...

We'll be back in Carmel Valley at Plaza Linda, this Saturday (May 1st). We love the scene at Plaza Linda and are very pleased to be asked back. Good food, good people
We'll also be at Speisekammer in Alameda on May 20th.

As always - would love to see you, wish you the best, and hope you are enjoying this beautiful weather - in between the rains.

All Good Things,

Bruce & Rob

They should all be like last night

We had a great one last night. Three solid, roots-oriented bands in a mutual appreciation society. The new Freight has great acoustics, a state-of-the-art Meyer sound system, perfect sightlines, and an ethic that it's all about the music. We did one of our best sets ever and were on with two acts I'd pay money to see in other circumstances. Gayle sparkled like a jewel and the rest of us locked on. Honkytonk Dreamers played a solid set of western swing with great fiddling and a singer who can channel Patsy Cline. Misisipi Rider's harmonies were exquisite, and all four singers were on fire. Nights like this keep me hooked.

Happy Earth Day

Email from Steve Noonan

I am having a blast - 4 gigs done - 6 to go -
Generally good PAs and Great Audiences - right now I am in the middle of
Netherlands - having some Smoke - Mint and/or Lime flavored "Mary" Mints -
or a Loaded Lolly pop - it's ALL good in Amsterdam - new songs coming -
also the guitar I am playing has an Original, Vintaqge, mid 60's "Have You
Been To The Paradox" sticker on it.

I'll be back at the end of the month, then off to Nevada City, Portland,
Seattle and Gig Harbor.

And one more rocker while we're at it .....

I thought I had posted this earlier, but can't find it so just in case..... My favorite song from Huntington Beach (hopefully Bob can get a chance to hear this):

And someone else who rocks.....

This just in from Steve via Helen:   

 I am in Amsterdam - played 4 gigs so far - Paris, Lille, Brussels and Kontich - 6 (maybe 7) more to go. 



Safe travels, Steve!  Send photos.

Speaking of someone who rocks....

Just remembering

This one's for you, Diane

Here's one for Uncle Bob

And the one I'm waiting for....

I've become a huge David Lindley fan since hearing him in Huntington Beach.  According to Amazon, this one releases in May, in time for their tour.

The Chieftains Featuring Ry Cooder

You should give this album a listen. It's well worth your time.
