Last Month:

We played two shows at Park Place Manor last month. Photos are below.
It is nice that Project Joy has arranged for us to perform there at two buildings on each visit. The schedule has us there on the First Friday of every-other month. First, we play a small, unplugged show for the assisted-living folks. Then we go across to the other building for the independent living group. They have Friday Happy-Hour with live music and beverages just before Friday dinner.

The Cottages of Spokane invited us to their end-of-summer patio party. Photos below.
We really like their little patio, which is situated in the center courtyard area, between the cottages. It is cozy and intimate, just right for a small outdoor music performance. Thanks again for having us back.

North Point Village also had us back in September. They have been very supportive of our little duo, booking us several time a year recently. That is always nice when we can get to know some people over several visits. They even made a nice promo sign for us, which was posted out in front of their dining room. It cleverly had one of our promo pictures on it.

Coming soon:

We have been confirmed for another appearance at this year's Fall Folk Festival. The date is Saturday, November 9th and we play at 2:30 in the Bistro room. This is the same room as the last two years, with a really nice stage, plenty of seating and a coffee bar.

The festival is held in the Lair Student Union building (Bldg. 6) at SCC, Mission & Greene in east Spokane. It is a free, 2-day annual event. Parking is also free. An amazing collection of performers are scheduled, and some really great impromptu jam sessions happen throughout the festival area.

Also coming next month: Park Place Manor again; Colonial Court in Spokane Valley; North Point Village; Cascade Manufactured Home Community; Mid-City Center and St. Joseph's Care Center.

- Our Albums

We have given away 450 copies of our "Classics" album. Copies are now out there in the world in the Northwest, in California, Oregon, Alaska, Florida, Sweden and Scotland. If you would like a free copy, please let us know - they are almost all gone. You may request an album by mail on our "Contact Us" page.

We also released two full one-hour shows from live recordings last month. All four of our albums are online for free streaming and downloading. They are easy to add to any iTunes or mp3 music collection.
