Jim, pls pin this puppy!

Have him check his calender. What's he doing this fall?

YDP 113 is what we have. We are happy with it. g

That is, I like Mason. So be nice.

Now my favorite track is Play Nice, for some reason...

There's a place toward the bottom of the page for suggesting bands. Says something like "suggest bands" or something. Suggest Organissimo I just sent them an email via booking and will be calling tomorrow, however, any grassroots movements are greatly appreciated. hint hint,

There's a CD? Who's Jim? har har

I heard it is not much of a college town. Just kiddin'. Lifted that one from Spinal Tap. We are workin it. This one is on short notice so the planning is tough. I may have to wait till the next time to target Boston... although...(you've got me thinking). g

Saturday Oct 29th ← And don't fall for the Greg N-will-buy-you-a-drink trap! He doesn't even show! ← Oh, man. That hurt. lol Besides, wasn't that Chuck?

Hope you can make it!! g

I was hopin' you'd say that.

very very cool! Bring a bus load (or train load) of friends. I wish I could come with the fellas, but I'll be playing guitar in a world-class casino full of beautiful people, that weekend.

Buffalo - especially these days - is not exactly a jazz Mecca. There are a few clubs - a couple of which do all types of music - that book national acts. My favorite place these days is the Lafayette Tap Room. It's primarily a Blues room though, so I'm not sure is they'd be interested. As a venue though, it's real nice - intimate, long bar, lots of room, great beer. 716 854 2466 There's also the Tralf - modern day incarnation of a legendary Buffalo jaaz club called the Tralfamadore Cafe. They book all kinds of acts 716 854 3068. The guy who runs it these days is new to the business, is in debt up to his eyeballs and the place has been threatened with closure a number of times. That didn't stop Joshua Redman, though. That's where I saw him in June. Joshua Breakstone and John Hammond are on the upcoming calendar. www.newtralf.com Another place - one that's known for booking an eclectic array of music is Nietzsche's. It's located in one of the rather bohemian neighborhoods in Buffalo and would be a good spot as well 716 886 8539 Mohawk Place is another place that books a variety of acts including blues. 716 855 3931. The River Grill books a lot of blues, mostly local 716 873 2553 And yes for those who asked - the Anchor Bar still has jazz every Friday and Saturday night and the legendary Dodo Greene still belts 'em out. They seem to have locals booked regularly and I don't think they do music on other nights. ← Thank you. This is some very valuable info. Been in contact with a few of them, yet, the insider tips are very helpful. g

Hey, whatever it takes!

Kenny's Castaways organissimo goes on at 10:45 p.m. In the heart of Greenwich Village. tickets only 8 bucks! Check out the booking page/interview, and the history of this colorful and exciting establishment. This should be big fun! Greg

The VanDyck With a rich history and a cool owner, this should be a night of big fun. Check out the link above for more information about this beautiful venue. Greg

tell them it was uphill both ways. Seriously, that is a beautiful part of the state. I have played at Billy's in Saugatuck a few times in the past. I wish you a safe journey. ← This gig is comin up! Come on out if you are anywhere near. g

Jim Please Pin

Creole Gallery Venue for national acts. Intimate and great sounding room. This is a concert venue. Tickets are limited, so, if you are so inclined, act fast. g

And some jaw harp: ← Jim actually has one. I've seen it!! Plays the hell out of it!!!!!

Bought a Williams, brought it home it sounded thin and the volume pot was screwed up. Took it back, spent another 500 on a Yamaha and have been happy with it. g

Randy "Frosty" Marsh plays with organissimo. He is my favorite on the album...oh wait mixin' threads....sorry.

Promotions can make a huge difference for sure. Shubas is on my list. Many thanks, g

Thanks Rooster, I look into it. g
