Tonight BSB (Russ, Mike, me, and Ark-Hal in for Ken who is away) will be among many well-wishers and musicians at John Honkanen's birthday party. John loves music and through the years he has jammed with dozens of local musicians (including Mike, Ark-Hal, and me at various times) at his studio in the woods. Happy Birthday, music man!
Update after the party: In the shuffle, I sang with Ira Goldberg on drums instead of Ark-Hal, and later Mike and Russ played with Ark-Hal with John and his daughter Carissa. Lotsa shuffling! Ira picked up on my songs right away and sounded great. John loosened up and sang a bunch of his favorites ~ Yay!
