Happy New Year!

I recently played at the Monthly Grind which was themed as the "Bob" grind. All the performers played "Bob" songs and everyone was named "Bob" for the night. (Everyone was given a name tag with "Bob" written on it.) 

Performers could play any Bob-related songs, i.e. Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, Bob Seeger, Led Zeppelin (because of Robert Plant), etc. I didn't feel like going with anyone other than the obvious, Bob Dylan, so I played two of his songs.  I was the last act! That surprised me. I was very nervous, too. Here are the videos!

So I like Puffins

I performed at the Monthly Grind again. This was one of the things in September that kept me from any kayak-building progress. I had agreed to perform way back in the summer when writing two new songs* seemed like something that I had all the time in the world to do. September was fast fading, especially with the Klondike run and the church bell-ringing (I'll explain that one later). And I had two people that I had asked to play with me who were wanting to practice with me. It's a little hard to practice songs when they haven't been written. Anyway, where I'm going with this is... as the end of September approached, all my focus was on writing two songs. This one I will share with you is very goofy. Please excuse the few mistakes in the song.

*I certainly didn't have to write two new songs just for this event, but it is my goal to do it that way. I could do covers, but I think they are best left to people that can actually sing really well and are good performers. I could do a song I've already written but I had already played my best ones so something new is what's left.

I finally got this video uploaded.
