Gloria is organizing an Orlando house concert at her mom’s house in Azalea Park.

WHO: PAUL GEREMIA
WHAT/WHERE: Orlando House Concert in Azalea Park
WHEN: Wed March 7, 2012, 8pm (Doors 7:30)
HOW MUCH: Suggested Donation of $10 - $20
INFO/RSVP: gsholloway at Email.com (Email not Gmail)

PAUL GEREMIA

An amazing player on 6 &12 string guitars and harmonica, the affable Paul is one of the notables and nobles of the traditional blues scene and is perhaps the greatest living exponent of the East Coast and Texas fingerpicking and slide guitar styles. A smooth and superb stylist, singer/songwriter and instrumentalist, he deserves a place at the table with today's best traditional blues practitioners. He recorded his first album in 1968, having been significantly influenced by both the rural blues tradition and the folk music revival of the 1960s. He has never recorded with electric guitar, hewing steadfastly to a traditional ethic with his acoustic playing.

If you live in the Orlando vicinity, please consider attending this house concert. When you send me your RSVP, I'll send you a confirmation with all the details.

Michael Dan Ehmig, David Muse & Sal Belloise will be at a South Tampa House Concert (Westshore/Gandy area) on Fri Dec 16th. 7:30 doors. 8:00 concert.

The word “legendary” may be overused – but in this instance methinks it’s warranted.
These legendary musicians are getting together for a rare (maybe first ever) house concert. Sorry about the short notice but I’ve always heard that one best strike while the iron is hot. So I “struck” & we’re having ourselves a concert featuring the subject threesome. (Thanks to Irene Brandow for helping to make this happen.) $20 is the suggested donation (100% of which will go to the musicians). Space is limited . RSVPs are requested. Please let me hear from you with your RSVP ASAP.

David at the Boulder Theater DAVID MUSE

Guitar Sal Live SAL BELLOISE

MICHAEL DAN EHMIG has written songs performed by the likes of Melanie, Joe Cocker, Lita Ford, Meatloaf, Deanna Carter, Chris Ledoux, Omar & The Howlers, and others. In addition to being a fine songwriter, he is also a mighty fine (FINE!) performer. I couldn’t find many on-line links – but –I’ve personally seen Michael on stage first-hand. Trust me. He’s the real music deal.


DAVID MUSE, as an original member of Firefall, helped craft the band’s unique sound. This sound resulted in gold and platinum albums and chart-topping singles (You Are The Woman, Goodbye, Just Remember I Love You, and Strange Way). The band’s success led to around the world tours with the likes of Leon and Mary Russell, The Doobie Brothers, The Band, Fleetwood Mac, Chicago, The Marshall Tucker Band, The Beach Boys and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Since the dissolution of Firefall in 1981, David has performed with numerous national and regional acts, including The Marshall Tucker Band. He has also pursued several solo projects with his latest being David Muse's Tonal Alchemy . In 2008 he was a part of a Firefall reunion concert in Boulder, Colo. By the way, Carrollwood’s own JIM MASON, Firefall’s original producer, was also part of that reunion .



SAL BELLOISE was weaned on vocal harmonies of the late psychedelic era (Crosby, Stills & Nash, Neil Young, James Taylor). Sal’s guitar style is steeped in those psychedelic sounds, mixed with the spirit of Jimi Hendrix, and flavored with the warm southern nights of Clearwater Beach. Sal writes from the heart, with uplifting notes and stories to which people can relate. His music has been heard on independent radio in the U.S., U.K., and abroad. Sal appeared with headliner Billy Dean at the 2010 Florida Folk Festival. Folks in the audience gave Billy a very warm welcome. They also did likewise for Sal. Trust me. I was there. HE WOWED US!

Subject: Laurie McClain & Karen Mal. Wed 12/7/2011 So Tpa House Concert






















Before moving on to Laurie & Karen, I’d like to let you know about a Dec 3rd house concert in Tarpon Springs featuring David Francey & Craig Werth. Details here: http://www.ourkindoffolk.com/home.php Last I heard
there were seats still available.

MOVING ON TO LAURIE McCLAIN & KAREN MAL:



Laurie & Karen will be at South Tampa House Concert (Westshore/Gandy area) on Wed Dec 7th. 7:30 doors. 8:00 concert.

I surely am hoping to round up an audience so I wont be all alone while experiencing an enchanted evening of music by these two enchanting musicians. (They ARE enchanting. Really! I’m not making this up.) Please let me hear from you with your RSVP’s. ($15 – $20 is the suggested donation – 100% of which will go to Laurie & Karen) I expect that they will do an in-the-round type concert – each one doing her own songs while being accompanied by the other – plus they will probably do some together as a duo.

Ken Perlman & Alan Jabbour South Tampa House Concert (STHC)


Tues Nov 8. 7:30 Doors. 8:00 Concert. $20 suggested donation (100% of which goes to the artists)


Send me your RSVP & I’ll provide the address, etc. (my cell – 813-625-2688)


GOOD NEWS: Some space still available for the Perlman/Jabbour concert. Mr Ethnic is planning to attend. Please come join him. (You can listen to Mr Ethnic’s latest Old Time Music Show from this past Saturday on the WMNF archives. )


[Ken & Alan's Picture] KEN PERLMAN & ALAN JABBOUR

Per English Dance & Song: .... Jabbour and Perlman together play as if controlled by two halves of the same brain....

Per Sing Out!: .... Jabbour and Perlman are among the most articulate musicians that old-time music has to offer.... Aside from their own distinctive talents as musicians, the fact that both have spent much of their careers as field collectors and observers enables them to understand the tunes as a vital part of the culture that produced them, and not just as cool pieces of music....

KEN PERLMAN has been performing on the folk circuit since the late '70s. He has toured internationally and is a pioneer of the 5-string banjo style known as Melodic Clawhammer. He is considered one of the top Melodic Clawhammer players in the world! Ken is also a master fingerstyle guitarist.

Per Bluegrass Unlimited: Ken's significant contribution to acoustic guitar styles should not be overlooked. He is adept at old-time blues, ragtime and just plain folk. His specialty is Celtic and Southern U.S. fiddle tunes arranged for fingerpicking. These tunes are played with a sparkling attack and active bass line, which gives them a sound that has been described as being reminiscent of Renaissance- and Baroque-era lute music.

ALAN JABBOUR was born in 1942 in Jacksonville, Florida. A violinist by early training, he put himself through college at the University of Miami playing classical music. While a graduate student at Duke University in the 1960s, he began documenting oldtime fiddlers in the Upper South. Documentation turned to apprenticeship, and he relearned the fiddle in the style of the Upper South from musicians like Henry Reed of Glen Lyn, Virginia, and Tommy Jarrell of Toast, North Carolina. He taught a repertory of oldtime fiddle tunes to his band, the Hollow Rock String Band, which was an important link in the instrumental music revival in the 1960s.

After receiving his Ph.D. in 1968, he taught English, folklore, and ethnomusicology at UCLA in 1968-69. He then moved to Washington, D.C., for over thirty years of service with Federal cultural agencies. He was head of the Archive of Folk Song at the Library of Congress 1969-74, director of the folk arts program at the National Endowment for the Arts 1974-76, and director of the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress 1976-99. Since his retirement, he has turned enthusiastically to a life of writing, consulting, lecturing, and playing the fiddle.

KEN PERLMAN & ALAN JABBOUR: A NOT TO BE MISSED CONCERT!

Phil Lee South Tampa House Concert


Sun Nov 6. 5:00 Doors. 5:30 Concert. $10 - $20 suggested donation for Phil. Send me your RSVP & I’ll provide the address, etc. (my cell – 813-625-2688)


www.phillee1.com


GOOD NEWS: STILL LOTS OF SPACE FOR THE CONCERT


BAD NEWS: STILL LOTS OF SPACE FOR THE CONCERT.


I’m a HUGE Phil Lee fan. He’s at the top of my favorite musicians’ list. I know it’s a busy busy music weekend, but if you can squeeze in Phil’s concert, I think you’ll be happy you did. (and I'll be happy you did too. )


Phil Lee writes intelligent songs full of wit, humor and grace that blend sizzling Dylan-esque rock and roll, country and western, mid-sixties British Invasion and medicine show sounds that end up being utterly unique and sung in a voice that can shoot straight through to your heart. ..... (he also sometimes throws in a little bit of dancing.. a cool soft shoe)


Phil has never feared, personally or lyrically, to scamper out on a limb with a gleam in his eye and a

hacksaw in his hand


. Phil in fine form at The Mad Hatter’s Iced Tea Party


“ The Don Rickles of disenfranchised nashtwang...”


http://www.youtube.com/mightykingoflove


Phil Lee – one man, one guitar and a bag of great songs about love and death, misplaced faith, discarded spaceships, hard times - and the funny side of all that. Guaranteed to please!


“... stylistically versed, lyrically learned and immensely quick-witted...” Per Walter Tunis/The Musical Box Blog


"The Don Rickles of disenfranchised nashtwang strikes again...Lee presents himself as a lovable, if formerly dangerous, rapscallion. Skirting genre boundaries between rock, soul and country with his music and writing lyrics that knock right through walls of taste, decency and political correctness without ever landing him in a punk-rockish, spittin' for show camp." Per Peter Cooper, Nashville Tenessean, reviewing Phil’s Mighty King of Love .


Hows about a traveling mini-fest? Doors for the Phil Lee South Tampa House Concert is set for 5:00 with concert at 5:30. The reason for the strange timing is that Rod MacDonald will be in an early afternoon concert at the Jan Platt Library – which is about 8 minutes from the house . Rod’s concert begins at 2 & should be over by 4 - 4:30ish. http://tinyurl.com/3ryqp7m


If one were to so choose, one could attend Rod’s concert at the library & then drive down to the house and attend Phil’s concert. A great double whammy. Sounds like a swell idea to me!

Gloria Loves Music (Oct 27, 2011)

******************************************************
A. TWO CONCERTS THIS WEEKEND: Altho I’m not personally involved in the planning of these two concerts, I’d like to help spread the word. (1) Singing Tree at the Univ of Tampa tomorrow night. (2) Mean Mary at a condo concert in Treasure Island Sat night.

(1) SINGING TREE. (Lloyd Goldstein & Ray Belanger) FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. Fri October 28, 2011, 7:30 pm, Sykes Chapel, University of Tampa. Per Lloyd: The New and beautiful Sykes Chapel at UT has amazing architecture and acoustics. We will play a full program with extra solo pieces from Lloyd’s personal repertoire used in his work at The Moffitt Cancer Center. Lloyd is a professor of Double Bass at UT and this concert is Free to the public. Please join us for our first performance in this wonderful new chapel. Info: Lloyd at 813.390.4187. http://lloydgoldstein.com/?page_id=14 .. Quick plug from me. Lloyd on double bass & Ray on hammer dulcimer not only present sublime music, their friendly funny chit chat between themselves and the audience makes for a very very enjoyable performance.

(2) Mean Mary Condo Concert. Sat Oct 29, 2011. Treasure Island. Shelly is the contact. RSVPs are required. Shelley sez she still has room for more. Shelley’s contact info is at Mary’s website.
http://meanmary.com/tour.html If you’re not familiar with Mary, please check out some of her youtubes. Banjo. Fiddle. Guitar. Vocals. Songwriting. Creativity galore.

B. Gloria’s Cancellations: Beth McKee Trio won’t be @ the UU Dome in December. Small Potatoes (aka Spuds) won’t be @ a South Tampa House Concert in November. Hopefully both concerts will be rescheduled in the not so distant future. (Beth has a CD release concert tomorrow night at the Plaza Theater. A big ta–do is planned. We’ll have our own ta-do at the Dome later ) (Rich from Small Potatoes advised that unfortunate circumstances had caused them to cancel their Florida tour this year – but they hope to reschedule next year.)

C. “My” Nov Concerts which ARE Still Happening. Please give me a shout with your RSVPs for the South Tampa House Concerts. Also – please get your advance tickets for the UU Dome concert at the church website.)
*****************************************************************************************

D. Joe Craven/Jon Shain UU DOME CONCERT Recap. The Joe Craven & Jon Shain Concert at the UU Dome last Friday night was one for the record books. Jon Shain will be returning to Tampa in December. We have a South Tampa House Concert planned for Thur Dec 29. Thanks to Doug Travers for posting these two videos from the Dome concert:

E. Mean Mary SOUTH TAMPA HOUSE CONCERT Recap. We had a really super South Tampa House Concert last night with Mean Mary. Mary is so talented & charming & on & on. There was an x-tra special treat too. Rebecca Zapen was in the house & Mary invited Rebecca to the “stage.” (yep. we have a stage.. sort of.) Rebecca obliged and performed two of her songs for us. Very nice! ( Rebecca is a busy bee. Ck her schedule here: www.zapen.com )

We also had some newcomers in the house last night, one of whom was trying to figure out what the heck was going on. “Who organized this? Whose house is this?” I explained that I organized it but that it was Craig’s house. I further explained that altho Craig & I were a couple that I lived down the street in my own house. To which he exclaimed: “Two houses. That’s a great idea! Now I’ve just gotta figure out how to convince my wife to get her own house.” : – )

F. Phil Lee South Tampa House Concert (Sun Nov 6) www.phillee1.com

A personal plug from yours truly – me. I’m a HUGE Phil Lee fan. He’s at the top of my favorite musicians list. If you come out to see him, I think you’ll understand why.

While I was in Nashville recently, I picked up the Oct 13-19, 2011, edition of the Nashville Scene where I found a writeup by Jim Ridley in the Critics Pick section about a concert with the Twenty-Eights (a Chuck Berry tribute band) & the opener PHIL LEE: “..... The Twenty-Eights live show is one of the most fun you’ll see all year – something we could say just as easily of their opening act, Phil Lee, whose You Should Have Known Me Then remains our favorite singer-songwriter album of the Aughts. To have them together – it’s as if Christmas arrived two months early. “
