Rhythm on the Rails!
What a nostalgic gig….bouncing along, singing my songs, playin’ in cars from the 1920’s, rollin down railroad tracks from the 1880’s! Check out the entertainment schedule for Sky Railway excursions at https://skyrailway.com/. It’s full of a huge variety of music, drama, comedy…..and me!

Singin’ for Patients!
Mandatory masking is finally over, but we proved that we can still sing through a mask!! It was pretty challenging, but my wife Lisa and I love strolling the halls, rooms, and wards singing for patients at Christus St Vincent Hospital in Santa Fe every Wednesday. Like our purple digs?
Eldorado Farmer’s Market
I book entertainment for the Friday Eldorado Farmer’s Market from May to October. Oh….and I also book myself! It’s another fun gig… on a outside stage at La Tienda Shopping Center, playing for shoppers, vendors, and happy hour patrons on the patio of the Santa Fe Brewing Co Taphouse
Rockin’ w Montessori Kids!
I enjoy playing on Fridays for a local Montessori school
Past Events – back to the days of Covid
And….lest we forget, here is a song I wrote during the early days of Covid; “Because It’s Worth It,” to the tune of “For What it’s Its Worth” by Buffalo Springfield
and another one is “Cheers to Lamy,” dedicated to Cindy Lu, Johnny, and the Lamy Junction Crew, in memory of that iconic watering hole!
The next one is simply, “Lamy!” to the tune of Pure Prairie League’a “Amie.” We are all wondering what the the Lamy Taproom will be like under new management.
Day of the Dead Singers Tribute, Old Lamy Mission Chapel, Nov 2nd
I hosted a “Day of the Dead Singers Tribute” at the historic Lamy Chapel in Lamy NM on Nov 2. We’ll had over 20 musicians covering tunes from their favorite “dead” singers. It was a benefit for the Historic Foundation of Our Lady of Light Chapel.
Lamy Woodstock -The Story
Harpin’ at “Lamy Woodstock”
Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of ’69 Woodstock by hosting a Lamy Woodstock Benefit was one of the highlights of my year. Lots of work, but all for a great cause, to raise funds for the new non-profit Child Counseling Center of New Mexico. Over 30 musicians graced the Lamy Depot Park stage covering songs from the Woodstock era. With my bum hand, I could only play harmonica, but even that was a blast!
Jammin Jaw Jarps!
Who’d a thought! While working on my Monday shift at the Lamy Amtrak Depot, I met a westbound harmonica-blowin’ traveler, Chuck Evans, who is also a retired USAF prior-enlisted officer, who also went thru the AECP commissioning program, and who was also raised in the Methodist Church. No way? Way. What a sweet gentle soul. Safe travels my new friend. Of course, I carry my harmonicas wherever I go, and just so happend we both had our “C” harmonicas handy, so away we went! And if I ever land in Alamogordo on a Thursday, you can bet I will look up Chuck’s Harmonica Band!
