I haven't played in front of a live audience (for the fun of it) since the very late 80's earliest 90's at The Java Jive in Sugarhouse (Salt Lake City), Utah.

I was waiting for my ASL (American Sign Language) Study group to show up (I am usually early on Thursdays), so there was a guitar lying around and I started playing it for the fun of it. It's an old beat guitar with dirty, dead, worn out strings and a neck too small for my "ham hands". But I was enjoying playing (quietly I thought) anyway.

Then the manager came up and asked if I'd like to add the amp! I became embarrassed and put the guitar away, but he asked if I'd be interested in coming to jam regularly.

We talked for a while and somehow I ended up agreeing (pleasantly surprised) to come jam just before ASL Study group each week.

So, starting Thursday November 2nd, 2006, I will be performing live from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm every week at Kafka's Coffe Shop.

I'll be mostly playing my guitar and Native American Wood Flute, but I may over time, if I become less shy, break out the keyboard, didgeridoo (if I can get the hang of the circular breathing trick), Djembe African drum, harmonica, bass guitar, and maybe even (gasp!) sing.

Anyhow if you're at all interested here's the link to Kafka Coffee house website ( http://www.kafkacoffee.com/ )  with directions to the location.

I'll be there even if no one else is. ;-)

This should be fun!
