Morristown Green was fun

Here we are at the unofficial start to summer -- Memorial Day Weekend.  This past Sunday I had the pleasure of playing outdoors at Festival Earth on the Morristown Green. It was a daylong affair featuring more than a dozen musical acts -- and what a beautiful day weather-wise it turned out to be. After watching a couple of extremely talented young acts I got up and did about 1/2 dozen songs. I played 3 originals, On Three, Think I'll Stay, and Finally Love. All are relatively new songs that weren't on my first CD. I also played Jack Johnson's Upside Down, James Taylor's Shower the People... and one other song that is escaping me right now. Anyway, the people in attendance seemed to really enjoy my stuff. This was my first time standing and playing guitar since I had knee surgery a couple of weeks ago (repaired meniscus). Was good to get back up and performing again.

It's nice playing outdoors for sure, and this little gig made me really look forward to playing the 3 upcoming outdoor performances I have:

June 12th @ the Morris Plains Farmer's Market
July 11th @ the Morristown Farmer's Market
August 1 -- solo concert @ Robert's Garden in Morris Plains.

Meanwhile, recording on the next CD is going very well, and it's just so great being in the studio. I'm so pleased with how the songs are coming along. Can't wait to share them all with people!!
