August 2 - from 6:30 to 9:00 pm. - My single at Lanza's Italian Ristorante in Port Townsend.
I performed my single act on acoustic guitar (my string bass was in the shop). This was a return engagement after almost a 10 month hiatus during which Lanza's closed and changed hands. The wonderfully attentive and supportive clientele made me feel like I was home again.

-
July 11 - from 9:00 to 11:00 p.m. - with Pete Toyne on guitar at the Public House
Pete is an extremely fine jazz guitar player, well known in the area for many years. He invited me to play string bass with him at the Public House for the first time. I was much looking forward to it as I had wanted to accompany him for a long time. So, of course, I had a flat tire and was a half-hour late. It was still great. Pete is absolutely awesome!
