Is there a Ukulele Man & his Prodigal Sons - or a poem - In Your Future??
Hey Folks,
I guess I've been neglecting the "artsy" side of this blog, caught up so much in the frustrating world of Bush & Co, Neo-Coneheads, war-mongers, homophobes, xenophobes, fetus-jar weilders, bible-thumpers, and other good Americans working to establish their "values" here and around the world.
So, here's an update on what's happing in the Old Guy's world of uke and roll.
Tuesday, April 11
--- I'm off to Thomas Worthington High School with lip and uke to sing a bit and kick-off this semester's "Political Radicalism" class. I get to start because I'm the most level-headed radical around - I know that's hard to believe, but I'll share a bit of what I do and say there, once the day has arrived. You'll see !!!
Thursday, April 27 - Saturday April 29
--- I'm off to the Big Apple for the New York Uke Fest. I'm able to do this because of my good friend Mr. Ron Hester - artist, musician, singer/song-writer, photographer, graphic designer, and hard-working bon vivant - who lives there and can stand putting up with his ancient 8th grade Engish teacher for a couple days (don't ask me how he does it).
All my experience with New York City, I owe to Ron, and part of that experience helped write "Eldorado," the title song of the third album (coming out sometime during this century).
The NYUke Fest (www.nyukefest.com) runs from Thursday, April 27 through Sunday, April 30. I'll be part of the "Ukulele Cabaret" Thursday through Saturday nights (the Cabaret runs 8:00 to Midnight). Possibly, I will make one cameo appearance Friday afternoons (still looking into that).
Thursday, June 1
--- It's the Columbus Arts Fest ( http://www.gcac.org/fest/map.php ) - the Whole Band should be in attendance. We play on the Broad Street Stage, 11:30 - 12:45 - pack a lunch and come listen.
Saturday, June 3
--- Again at the Columbus Arts Fest ( http://www.gcac.org/fest/map.php ) - this time at the "Poetry Corner" tent location (near the intersection of Main Street and Civic Center Drive - I am very pleased to have been selected as a "featured reader" for the "Ohio Magazine"-sponsored poetry presentation - 5:30 to 5:45 p.m.
Later in June
--- We've applied to play at the COMFEST. Time will tell
In October
--- I will apply for Pumpkin Show one more time (If I don't get too old and forgetful by then).
Well, that's it for now. I'll blog-report on each of these misadventures as they transpire!
