Sunday is a great night to pop on down to The South Bay Pub and Eatery for the Jam of Local Musicians here in the Olympia Washington area. It is located @ 3323 South Bay Rd. NE, Olympia, WA 98506. For directions and info you can call the club @ 360.456.0809

I try to make it there and perform at least every other week. I have made a cool log of the dates I had the honour to perform there, and the set list that I performed that night! Don’t be shy! This is a cool jam! It has a real family feel to it as well. Here is my History at the club on jam night.

It is My Mothers Birthday today! We had a nice party for her with lemon cheers cake a many great grand kids! She is 80 years young! Amazing. I went out to The Turnbow Palace and sang her all her favourite songs last week! I think she dug it.

Sing with soul and sensitivity around her and You win! Here is my set tonight at the ‘South Bay Pub” Jam session on 09-30-2012, the last day of the month.
