back for a while

Hey there, remember me, it's been a while.
It's good to post here again after a period of absence, I've had a few minor crisis moments which are a little too personal to share on this otherwise rambling blog, but I'm back.
Unfortunately I cannot say that I'm back with any new music I've written because I've had to put all that aside for the last month or so to sort stuff out.

The next few weeks approaching Christmas are looking quite busy for me at the moment, with a number of corporate gigs booked between Shoal Bay and Sydney (for the New South Wales locals).

I am also involved with a number of charity gigs around this time of year, including one for a fundraiser for a kid that needs an insulin pump and a Christmas party for a disability group that I do music therapy with. I am looking forward to both of them very much as these groups really enjoy having live music at their functions, and if they have fun, it is more fun for the performers.

Jen and I have also been asked to play at the annual Christmas party for the Spencer community. Spencer is a small town between the Central Coast and Sydney, which is basically a country town, they have their Chrtismas party at the community hall, the whole town turns up, so it is quite a night. We normally so some easy listening stuff and dance stuff for the adults, and then do some Christmas songs for the kids. It's a fun time for everyone including ourselves.

Jen and I are still playing every Friday afternoon at Donnisons cafe on Kibble park at Gosford, though we don't get a huge crowd at the cafe, we get regular listeners who sit in the park, and enjoy the entertainment which makes it a pleasant afternoon for all.

Last Friday my mate Wayne asked me to join him for a gig at a local pub at West Gosford which ended up being a farewell party for one of the regulars who was moving up north to Kempsey, most of the locals turned up, and we had a great night playing music for them and watching them kick up their heels.

Other than the music side, Jen and I are still working on the gardens here, removing retaining walls, and putting heaps of plants (and removing a few as well), it seems like there is always something to do in the yard.

I hope to get back into the regular posts as soon as I can fit them in at this stage, until the next one, stay safe and have fun !
