My First Gig and Probably Last
2025-02-09 14:00 - 15:30 | The Common Good, 119 Canal St, Ellenville, NY, 12428, United States
I decided it was time, before my journey is over, to give at least one solo concert. Over 90 minutes or so, I’ll weave some famous songs from the 60’s and 70’s into a tapestry with some of my originals. There will be songs you’ll recognize immediately and some unknown ones, but you’ll be able to sing along on many of them even the unknown ones.

It will be a combination of love songs, breakup songs and spiritual songs. This is a free event. I’ll ask for donations for MusicForHumanity.org, but if you are feeling financially stressed please come and enjoy the music for free. I know some of you can’t possibly make it, but subscribe to our YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@musicforhumanity-1

We’ll post the video the following week. I hope a few of you can attend. You might even want to have your own gig. It’s a nice small venue.
