ASIDE: On 4/5, and 5/3 Jim Harlan and I will be playing from 5:30 – 8:30 pm at Upper Crust in Eldorado.

LAST MINUTE NOTICE! Destiny Allison and Steve  Ewers have kindly donated the La Tienda Eldorado Performance Space to host a free local tribute to Paul Simon, produced by Chris Harrell. After months of prep, at 7pm this evening, Saturday 3/23, about a dozen performers will take turns playing their favorite PS tunes. I get to play with about half of them, including 2 tunes with my duo partner Jim Harlan. I’m thrilled. Last fall the James Taylor tribute was beyond packed, to the point of no standing room left so you may want to show up early. Here is tonight’s line-up:

  1. Welcome: Chris/Gene Harrell – Mrs. Robinson (drums-Julia)
  2. Gene Harrell: Medley: America, Old Friends/Bookends, Anji, Dangling Conversation, Flowers Never Bend, Punky’s Dilemma (vocals-Morning)
  3. Andy Mason: Me and Julio / Under African Skies / Born at the Right Time (vocals-Liz, drums-Julia)
  4. Joey Wilson: René and Georgette Magritte With Their Dog After the War / American Tune
  5. John Francis Mustain: You Can Call Me Al / Nite Game / Take Me to the Mardi Gras
  6. Michael Lehrer: Kathy’s Song / Scarborough Faire / For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her
  7. Chris Harrell/Hope Kiah/Randall Engle: El Condor Pasa
  8. David McDonald: Have a Good Time / Slip Slidin’ Away / I Know What I Know (vocals-Liz, flute-Hope, drums-Julia)
  9. Jeff Sand: St. Judy’s Comet
  10. Jeff Sand/Tupper Schoen/David Anderson: Only Living Boy in NY / What a Wonderful World / Scarborough Faire/Canticle
  11. Greg Harris: Keep the Customer Satisfied / Cecilia (vocals-David, accordion-Ron, flute-Hope, drums-Julia) Bridge Over Troubled Water
  12. Jim Harlan/Hope Kiah: Sounds of Silence / 59th St Bridge Song
  13. Bob Curtis: She Moves On / Duncan (flutes-Hope & Heidi, drums-Julia)
  14. Finale: The Cast – Loves Me Like a Rock / The Boxer (flute-Hope, drums-Julia)

Saturday 11/3. This is early notice but save the date for a James Taylor tribute evening with many singers and players at the Performance Space in Eldorado on November 3.

Yesterday, after noticing my shadow while singing and riding my ebike, I spontaneously held up my iPhone and recorded my floating shadow and a bit of JT. I love to sing (so to speak) while I ride and probably shouldn’t expose it here but friends are loving it on Facebook and the joy of biking is something to share!
