i have been the studio with a very cool duo "little lost boys", celeste and laina. i saw them at one of my open mics and well... they have four tunes that are very cool. a cd is now available. http://www.myspace.com/534201688

 i am recording a tune with cory veltman. she wrote a tune for johnny downer. it is wonderful and moving and a real spirit raiser.

i just finished playing a number of basses on the new and upcoming bottle shock cd. very cool music.

i have found a very cool chopped/hotrod/custom/ upright bass, a pic to follow. i picked it up april 2nd, played with jennifer faust for 5 days straight and haven't put it down except to go to the bathroom.... it's a blast and i have much to learn. i am playing it with bottle shock and will give it a try with jive samba...

i would like to say that my dear friend miles corbin is a courageous musical bud. it was just several months ago i got a call from him telling me he was about to under go chemo therapy for colon cancer. i was shocked. he was and continues to be so upbeat and positive. i admire his strength and fortitude in this battle. i speak with him often. he has just released a new aqua velvets cd "tiki beat", buy it today... http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/aquavelvets7   it's way cool.  we are all rooting for you…

i am hosting the open mic at aubergine in sebastopol, ca come out and play, sing, dance, juggle, tell a story whatever you like to do... signups start at 6:pm  7-11 pm or so....

i've been practicing with bottle shock: (no it's not a new guitar playing style) 

   it's fun finger pickin, toe tappin, harmonic, melodic, home brewed gumbo stuff   http://www.myspace.com/bottleshock         bob appleby, adam watt and michael haworth.

        soon to play some gigs in sonoma county, including passport weekend friday and saturday april 23rd-24th at quivira winery. and the sebastopol apple blossom fest april 24.

you can call it crazy.
you can call it double your fun.
you can call it double wide entertainment.
you can call it burning the mic at both ends.
you can call it one mike on two days, wednesday and friday.
that's: two mics by one

starting wednesday, march 17th i will be hosting an open mic at aubergine in sebastopol 7 pm till around 10 pm and each following wednesday.

you may already know i am hosting an open at cafe azul on fourth st in santa rosa on friday evenings 6:30 pm -10 pm.
