2017

On August 5, 2017, a new friend developed a conflict and couldn’t play his gig so he asked me to fill in for him at The Atrium in Eugene Oregon. The concert (it was about an hour long) was recorded for a local TV show and is now posted on the YouTube page of Arts Journal. The sound isn’t perfect– the video camera picked up the guitar louder than the voice. I had  an inflammation of the tendons of my left hand, so I let it rest by chatting between songs more than I normally would.
