April 27, 28 & 29

I had a wonderful week! Thursday I played at Tony Rome's for my buddy Dean Sorrentino's 45th birthday party. It went great. He was really surprised and the crowd went wild. Friday was incredible. Lisa and I drove an hour and a half to do a show at a new club called Mixer's Pub in Olean, NY. Mixer's is an "alternative" bar. I knew it was a gay bar before I got there and I wondered what the place was like. Know that I don't have any problem dealing with any person in the world but I did wonder how the show would go. It was fantastic! Jody, the owner was fun as hell and all the people there loved the music so much. It's a pleasure playing to a crowd that is so eager to have a blast and appreciates my music. The atmosphere was awesome with people from all walks of life there partying until the cows came home. I can't thank the people enough for the wonderful time! Saturday I played my first show at Gordon's and, again, it was fantastic. The Gordon brothers are great and their parents used to hang out in my father's bar years ago! I filled the place and they want me there every month! This past week mad me pretty happy. Come to one of my shows if you can...I'll try my best to entertain the hell out of you. By the way, check out: http://powunclehal.blogspot.com/ it's pretty cool!

Nothing really new to mention. I played Hidden Hollow on Friday and it was kind of slow. Some new people showed up and loved the show. I love connecting with people that haven't seen my show before. They enjoyed it quite a bit. Saturday I played at a great new place called "Kodiak Jack's." The owner was really cool and my girlfriend, Lisa new about half the people in there! We were way out in Marilla, New York. My friends, Maria, Cindy and Laura made the drive out and had a great time. I was bummed a bit because I was scheduled to play at 9:00 but the hockey game was on (God forbid I actually play music while people watch hockey...) and went into double overtime...I didn't play until 11:00 p.m....None the less, I did fine. Sunday was a private 60th birthday bash. The people loved it and I got several gig prospects out of it...It's all rainy now...I just want to watch trash TV and stay in my warm room...Talk with you later.

April 7,8,9

This week went well...I played at The Furnace on Friday night and Hidden Hollow on Saturday. I enjoyed myself but thye real fun was Sunday...I played a benefit for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of Western New York at the Glen Park Tavern. Two television stations taped the event and my great friend and fellow musician, Michael Bly performed with me for most of the show. We brought the house down for a great cause! I was so happy to be part of such an event. I'm pretty tired...I played three shows in a row...I need to rest my voice. More later.

Tony Rome's and Hideaway Bay

This past week I played at Tony Rome's and Hideaway Bay. Tony Rome's was a blast because it was a party for my dear friend, Maria Hejna...She takes all the photos for my web sites...It went really well with plenty of dancing and such...Saturday I drove out to Silver Creek, NY with my girlfriend, Lisa and played a small gig out at the lake at Hideaway Bay. The turnout wasn't that good but that's the life of a musician in Western New York! The great part is that Lisa and I had my parent's beach house all to ourselves that weekend...It was tremendous. This week I am at: Friday, The Furnace at 3700 Southwestern Blvd. in Orchard Park, Saturday, Hidden Hollow at 444 Indian Church Rd. in West Seneca and Sunday from 1 to 4 at the Glen Park Tavern on Main St. in Williamsville (this is a benefit for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation). See you soon!
