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)

Lizard Tail Open Mic

On By Hope KiahIn Jams & Open Mics1 Comment

Another new open mic. (It was so fun playing with Dave Bedini last Thursday at Molly’s in Tijeras!)

Dave Wilt and Dave Bedini are the hosts for Monday nights at the Lizard Tail. It’s an encouraging atmosphere for folks to try out their material, meet new people, have a beer, or jam with others.

There’s always a bass in the house, you can choose to perform alone, in small groups, or to invite someone to join you. All styles are welcome.

We’ve been carrying on every Monday for over a year, and we’re still going strong. The owners of the Lizard Tail, Ken and Dan, are good guys and music fans. They also brew all the beer, and it is really good. Wine and some sodas are also available.
