b. b. wolfe: "GIGS"

What a wonderful evening in Sturgis. Couldn't have ask for better hosts. Very good night

Turned out to be a good night at the Beanery eventhough the weather was horrible and monTe had to cancel from being sick. The house was full half way through the first set. It was good to see so many familiar faces and friends out for the show. Todd, the owner continues to make more improvements to this venue. Good night.

This was a very good night but difficult one at the Livery-Main Floor. The lower level of the main floor was filled as monTe bleu, Larry Platz and myself played our tunes. Will never forget when I looked up at the crowd and connected with everyone there on "Song For MJ." Very difficult looking at where I sat the very week before. What an appreciative crowd and gracious host.

Well...not a large crowd, but it was nice to see MonTe Bleu, Riely O'Connor and Molly Moon at the show along with a few regulars.

The Electric Brew is one of my favorite places to play. This is a venue for singer songwriter's. The crowd is attentive, appreciative and generous.

This certainly was alot of fun to share songs with other writers in the round. Will never forget the thunderous applause for "Winthrop's Lament."

Wow...The Electric Brew...Alot of kids tonight and a different approach...sold many, many cd's and great tips...hmmm, I have a great idea for next time...

What a great night and in a 750 seat auditorium. This is one to remember. And thanks to Bruce Bartlett and the Dowop girls for joining in.

The Electric Brew...it's on my list of favorite's...All in all a good night...Came with a cold but played through it all and was pleased at the end...It was good to see my friend Luke there.

It was interesting playing this small venue without a sound system. With Mj at my side it was a good show. Kurt and Alan showed up again from Ann Arbor (our newest of fans). It was hard, knowing this was the last show of the summer Mj and I would do. We exchanged gifts and sighs. What a neat lady. Thanks Mj.

Will never forget looking up at the faces in the crowd and making eye contact with everyone in this coffee house...will never forget the wonderful friendship that I shared with Seattle singer-songwriter MJ Bishop who's beautiful voice still rings in my ears.

WOW!! Didn't expect this night...Over $100.00 in cd sales an another in tips...but better than that...a warm and receptive crowd.

A slow night for Rachel's. Doesn't matter. I love this place. It is so down to earth and it's alway good to see the best guitar builder in Indiana, Mr. Jim Shenk, heck of a fellow.

Enjoyed this venue very much. First set was a bit stiff, but the last two combined into one started cooking and the crowd was really appreciative, asking for an encore. Bruce and I did two more to wonderful applause.

Small crowd on this Monday night, but Bruce and I played very well.

There was a FULL HOUSE at the Bella Vita on this night. It was especially nice to see my good friend, Mr. John Kennedy from Kennedy's Kitchen in the house as well as Mr. Tom Conway from the South Bend Tribune.

-5 degrees below zero, but they came anyway. Not like the show before, but what a generous, responsive crowd. The new wood floors at The Beanery are also a wonderful improvement along with the fireplace.

Well....this certainly was an interesting time playing in a furniture store. A lot of lamps, couches, recliners, end tables, people coming in and out, cookies, punch, coffee, tips, compliments, a few pictures taken.

WOW! A PACKED HOUSE AT THE BEANERY!!! THIS WILL BE A NIGHT TO REMEMBER. IT WAS GOOD SEEING MY FRIENDS JAY MILLER AND LARRY PLATZ THERE TONGHT AS WELL AS MS. LEAH BOEPPLE. IT WAS ALSO GOOD TO SEE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT I DIDN'T KNOW. THIS WAS A GOOD NIGHT!

Well I certainly was hoping for a better turn out, but with Notre Dame playing USC for a possible stab at the National Championship I guess I can't complain. But I know the better performance was at the Beanery and I saw the approval in the eyes of those there when they heard "In Three-Quarter Time." It was unquestionable and made it worth the trip.

The is a night to remember. Rachel's Bread again proved to be one of the hot spots in the area to play to a very receptive, appreciative crowd. The atmosphere is absolutely outstanding not to mention the wonderful food and hospitality. It was a highlight for me to have my trusted mentor and friend, Mr. Dan Gellert with us tonight. This music legend sure knows how to fill a sound and bring it all on home. Thanks to Jim Shenk and Bruce Bartlett, two wonderful musicians that add so much to the sound as well. Thanks Bruce for the solo set. What a wonderful night.
