A little interruption in the teaching series here. Check back later in the week — well, more likely next week — for more articles on artists who teach. This weekend, we’ve got some other stuff taking center stage — namely, us. David and I are playing at Sheffield’s Dewey hall on Saturday night. And NEXT week, we’re [...]

FOD Fest
Posted in Music, Performing, tagged Daniel Pearl, FOD Fest, FODFest on September 24, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I’m figuring that most of you will recognize the name Daniel Pearl, the Wall Street Journal reporter who was murdered in Pakistan by terrorists in 2002. I’m also figuring that you don’t know that Danny (as he was known to his friends) was also a musician. Before Danny was a Wall Street Journal reporter, he worked for the Berkshire Eagle, the [...]
Building an Audience

Last night was our turn on the (locally) heralded stage of the Monterey General Store (http://www.montereystore.com/). There was a small audience, but a nice mix of friends and strangers.

A few years back, David and I had just set up shop as music teachers and the new kids on the local gigging block.

Everybody’s Famous in a Small Town

Today, David and I got to play for an audience that included three cows and a goat. Sheffield, Massachusetts is one of the towns that borders on ours, and today was its annual town festival. We were one of a number of local groups asked to play for an hour, so we carted the electric piano and guitar over, dashed [...]
