First you will very easily transcend that endless dreck bowl, the Trump-o-sphere and will know by the end that there are far larger things afoot.
Music is the greatest guide to the deep mind. That's confirmable and scarcely documentable. Parlayable though...
New Croissant Heights from the rhythm section that knows what it is.
Busy time here.
Tomorrow night, 11pm, I will be playing guitar for Los Angeles songwriter, RJ Comer, at House of blues, New Orleans.

Saturday night, I will be with my own band at Irvin Mayfield's Playhouse in the Royal Sonesta hotel. Amazing band. One of the greatest rhythm section in New Orleans musical history-
Rex Gregory-reeds
James Singleton-bass
Johnny Vidacovich-drums
Jonathan Freilich-guitar
Johnny Vidacovich
Original music there of course- and some other items from across the last 150 years of mostly local music.
Sunday I will be at Yuki Izakaya for a little Latin dance party. We are getting back to the old days of Mas Mamones etc.classic Cuban rhythmic music-
Hector Gallardo- Percussion
Andy Wolf-bass
Jonathan Freilich-guitar
Sometimes know as Johnny "Guitar Mambo" and His Hot Latin Combo. Back where things started to get rolling in the Latin scene here. Right inside the door that Hector always used to play on the street in front of. And in the Cafe Brasil building. Hector is also one of the greats. Authentic Cuban, vegetarian, and impeccable Swiss timing.

Sadly, a major loss to the New Orleans music community happened a few weeks ago with the passing of saxophonist Tim Green. He was to be on this show!
So come out, tomorrow night- Sept. 27th at Snug Harbor on Frenchmen St. 2 Shows 8 &10pm!
Tim was so important to my own musical development early on that kit is hard to put into words. There are luckily recordings of him playing with myself as well as all the others on this show at snug harbor.
This promises to be a great sunday evening of music.

this is one not to miss.
The sagacious, genius, unpredictibilities of James and Johnny. The weighted spritelinesses of Rex Gregory in creative moods. And me somewhere in the amorphous and great unknown- some sort of mid-riff.
what I'm driving at here, is killer music!
Solo at The Parlor on St. Claude Ave at 6pm on Wednesday- get your costumes! Music. Drinks.
