Nights Like These

Got home this morning around 6:30 am. Was up all night playing music, eating great food and enjoying stellar company. Had a few hours of sleep. I can't believe how quickly I recoup these days with a solid 4 hour nap. Gary and Jennifer picked me up early afternoon for dim-sum at the Pink Pearl. Right! Gary...Crazy Gary who flew in for a Sunday night dinner and music jam and then flew out 24 hours later. What a guy! Later this afternoon we sat down in the Gaolers Mews in Gas Town and played music in the crisp Fall air. The alley is more of a square alcove created between/ behind the buildings on Water Street. It's beautiful ,with cobble stones, rod iron and moss covered trees. The space is open to the air and is at least three stories high on all sides. The acoustics are beautiful. It would be a great spot to put on a show in the summer months, or a Christmas show with the snow drifting down. I wonder who regulates the space...?

Christmas...I am getting excited for the season....I get ridiculed constantly for saying it is my favorite time of year....I know it has become too commercial, but I can still find the meaning of the season!

It's not raining tonight and I can feel the nip of winter in the air. It's a great night for a walk. I think I might do just that...warm cup of tea in my hand bundled against the chill. Off I go.
