Howdy Good People,
We taped four very entertaining shows in August:
496) 8/12/10 David Gans – well known as host of widely syndicated Grateful Dead Hour radio program, , he has in recent years developed a solid following nationwide for his compelling songs & music www.dgans.com
497) 8/12/10 David Gans – well know as the light behind Grateful Dead Hour radio show, several books on the Dead & intriguing CDs relating to the band, he does his own versions of Jerry Garcia music www.dgans.com
498) 8/24/10 Jessica Kane – highly entertaining slice of life autobiographical short story writer-reader & songwriter jessicakane.com
499) 8/24/10 Caren Kennedy Band – a Jersey Joe top pick; contemp. folk-country-pop singer-songwriter-led band w/drums, guitar, bass guitar, and two singers CarenKennedy.com
After the fourth one, which makes about 8 or 10 so far with Alice Wiemer in the director's chair, she told me she thinks she might be getting "hooked on directing." That's good because our maian director, Bob Fivehouse, seems to be spending more and more time away now that he's retired and has two grandkids in Colorado.
