Thanksgiving and the weekend...

First off a note of thanks. To my family and new and old friends for making this continuing journey around the sun a joy and an adventure that keeps getting better. I have had the good fortune of knowing all of you and sharing a lot of fine opportunities, none that I take for granted. There's a couple of gratitude minded gigs this weekend. Hope you can come out. Happy Thanksgiving. Thank you all for your kindness.

I met Vincent & Carolyn this summer after they'd just moved back east from California. They're two good community minded souls that I'm happy to have met. They're adding music to their community vegetarian dining this week and I'm happy to be making music in the good fire that they've started in Lambertville.

Right down the road out back at the Stephan House I'll be playing for the New Hope Chamber of Commerce at 8pm.

In other news Buddha, glowing in nirvana, appeared on a flatbed trailer in Frenchtown, NJ last weekend. He was seen next to the new location of the shop 2 Buttons, owned by the author of Eat, Pray, Love Elizabeth Gilbert.

Zen master, pray tell what should I do if I meet the Buddha off the road in a parking lot strapped to a trailer?....

Happy Fall and Happy Birthday Lon!
