WELCOME BACK
Hey
everyone! Myself and the website are back in
business after a long break in the action. Of course, it all began
with the pandemic, but now I have to overcome my
own inertia and get back out there. (To paraphrase one of
Newton’s laws: “A body at rest tends to stay at rest...”)
My first
performance back was last September as part of the Sing Out Loud series in
St. Augustine. With my friend and partner, Mark Richey, we did a set
at Colonial Oaks, which I really enjoyed. It was great to get to
perform again.
When I
wanted to put the date on the website (which I had not posted anything on
in quite some time) I found the website had been hacked and taken over by
nefarious forces. As anyone trying to view the site would have found,
all that could be seen was a blank white screen.
After much
back and forth with my web-site and domains
provider, and of course some transfer of green paper, they cleaned up the
wreckage of the web-site and told me that the web
content had been destroyed and asked me if I had a back-up, to which I
replied “Huh?”
Enter my
dear friend and original web-site designer, Gary Bouchard.
Gary
indeed had a back up and went about restoring the pages and content to the
site. A thousand thank yous, Gary!
I’m
starting to get my act together and, hopefully, I’ll have some gigs going this spring. They’ll be posted on
the newly refreshed web-site. Hope to see
you soon!
UPCOMING: Stay Tuned!
Postscript:
After much
soul searching, I’ve decided that I won’t be doing any gigs
downtown. Too many hassles with traffic, parking and crowds for this old
guy. But, it’s a big county and
I’m looking at some new venues for me, here on the beach and
elsewhere.
Yours in music,
John
