BIT 17 January 20,
2008
Happy New Year! I’ve had a great time up in Massachusetts. First
of all, my new CD “Happy Fingers” has come in! You can check out the “Sound
Clips” page from time to time because I‘ll be adding some sound clips from the
new CD as soon as I can get to it.
While we were there my uncle Jay introduced me to the Associate Pastor of his
church.

So, I played on Sunday Dec. 30th in both of the morning services and full
concert that evening. After I played and was signing CD’s in the back. I had the
pleasure of meeting some really great folks including my new friends, Roger and
Anne. It turns out that Roger is a HUGE guitar fan. We had the pleasure of
visiting them at their home…and Roger and I had a great time playing guitar all
afternoon. He even had a nice Gretch! It sounded great! In fact Roger tried my
new Baby Taylor LTD and liked it so much that he ended up calling
www.sweetwater.com
and ordered one for himself before we left! He’s going to have a load of fun
with it for years to come!
While I was still at the church I was also invited to play a concert at the
Common Ground Coffee Shop in Fitchburg. Their website is:
www.commongroundhope.com,
it was really nice. I had so much fun doing that gig we all hung around for
hours after it was over playing my guitars and sharing stories…what a great
bunch of folks! Some of my new friends from the church came out including Roger
& Anne and another guitar lover, Nunzio (the guitarist from the church). My
uncle & aunt, Bob & Judy, came out as well. It was so nice to have them there! I
don’t think it gets much better than having family and friends gather together
for a night of fun.
We left Massachusetts on Tuesday and arrived in Atlanta on Friday. We brought
the snow down with us. Atlanta got about 2" to 2-1/2" on Saturday! We are
staying with some wonderful friends that we made when we passed through here 6
years ago. We are truly blessed to be with so many wonderful people everywhere
we have traveled! And I’ll be playing at Liberty Church in Marietta, Georgia on
Saturday January 26th at 5PM. Check out my Tour page for more information about
this. Their website is:
www.libertychurch.org.
I’ll also be playing in the Pensacola area at the Men’s Barn Meeting in Molino,
Florida (it’s outside of Pensacola) on February 14th at 5PM. The Barn meeting is
held on the second Thursday of every month, and in February it happens to be on
Valentine’s Day. Since it’s going to be on Valentine’s Day it’s also open for
the men to bring their sweethearts! I played there a few years ago and had a
really blessed time…these folks are some of the friendliest I’ve met here. I’m
really looking forward to playing at this meeting again. Their website is:
www.mensbarnmeeting.com.
It looks like I might have another gig here but I have to meet with some folks
tomorrow in order to confirm that. If it develops I’ll add it to my tour
schedule. I also have some more gigs in the works for the Pensacola and Central
Florida areas. I’ll post them when I can confirm the dates and times.
Well, I’ll look forward to getting to see some more of my friends along this
next leg of the tour and hopefully meeting a few of you!
So take care,
Buddy
