More Great Shows

Kharlie M’s solo show at Rock Haven nursing home on Tuesday, May 23 involved the piano and the baritone uke; the set included six original songs, four old standards, two hymns, and covers of John Denver, Randy Sparks, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Jim Croce, and Elmer and the Ceramic Trees. Next show is at 2 pm on Tuesday, June 27.

Our cat Stormy

This is totally unrelated, just for fun: Our cat, Stormy, just turned 13 years old on June 6. I have never written a song about a cat. How about this: “And Stormy has windy eyes / that flash at the sound of lies…” Maybe not.
