David Bowie Tribute Concert

No recordings from the shows themselves, but I did make this tape of our final rehearsal.

The Gaslight Café

We spent the New Year holiday hanging out with Johann and Hazel, proprietors of the Gaslight Café, and good friend Shahid, one of the many musicians who call the Gaslight home.
