Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, and Happy Holidays

Posted by Trudi Brown on December 25, 2011. 0 Comments

We hope this holiday season finds you well and happy - here's a little something that Gary wrote Saturday morning to share with all of you.


Merry Christmas to all the little trees that had to die
And to all the little kids that are wondering why
Why they don't have no gift
Why Daddy lost his shift
Why Momma always seem so down like she don't have no lift
Merry Christmas to all the people in the Middle East
Fightin' killin' dyin' tryin' to find some peace
Merry Christmas to the starving kids in Africa
They doin' bad, but they'd still share what they had witcha
Merry Christmas to the protesters that protest greed
Gettin' beat down in the streets for saying what they need
Merry Christmas to the people that are speakin' it true Continue Reading »

With Steve Wright as our ever-gracious host and geniously-talented engineer, Gary worked on his up-coming CD at Wrightway Studios in Baltimore, MD. Sarah Wiskeman added her talented voice on a track or two, and Dayne Shannon loaned us his beautiful Breedlove accoustic guitar for the day... As an added bonus our long-time friend Joanne Walker came and offered her acupressure/massage skills to help everyone perform at their best. Thanks to everyone - we had a blast (as always)...

What is it they say "April showers...", well we had plenty of rain this past weekend.  Thanks to everyone who braved the showers to hang out with us at the Steer Inn in Berlin, MD, on Friday, April 8, and the Wing Hub in Bethesda, MD, on Saturday, April 9, 2011.  Also, we had the pleasure of performing with long time friend Clarence "The Bluesman" Turner sitting in on bass on Saturday.  He fronts his own band on guitar, so getting to play with him was a rare treat - listen to the audio (podcast) footage and let me know what you think...
