CENTURY MARK

For the first time in seven years, I played more than 100 gigs, 104 to be exact. Thanks to you it’s working. Seriously, I appreciate the support from people like you all over New England. It’s been a great year.

 

Of the total, 34 shows were with my folk-rock duo, Knock on Wood, and there were 12 Musical Baseball Shows as well as 13 memory cafes.

HOLIDAY GIFT GIVING

Looking for a last-minute holiday gift idea? How about one of my CDs?

 

I realize that CDs are nearly extinct these days but remember this: upon request, I will send you a free set of mp3s along with the physical CD. Thus, you have the best of both worlds, the artwork, lyrics and musician credits from the compact disc plus the digital version (which you own and not rent) of the album.

 

Plus, CDs can be used as attractive coasters and Christmas tree ornaments.

FIVE GRAND?

I took a look at the Major League Records ledger recently (our CPA was on vacation) and discovered that I’m within reach of a major milestone – but I need your help. Since I first started marketing my music in 1976, I’ve sold 4,982 units. Just 18 more for 5,000!

 

The “units” include vinyl records, cassettes and CDs. I don’t have the time to count up all the digital downloads.

 

Anyway, it would be greatly appreciated if you could find it in your heart to purchase a CD. I still have a bunch of vinyl copies of Baseball’s Greatest Hits, Volume 1, if that strikes your fancy.

 

Thanks in advance.

BASEBALL SHOWS

2026 will be the 10th year I’ll be doing my Musical Baseball Show. Time flies when you’re having fun.

 

So far, there are two confirmed bookings: March 25 in Attleboro and March 26 in Northbridge. I expect around a dozen more so stay tuned. Spring training is right around the corner.  

 

ORANGE NYE

Knock on Wood has just one more gig this year, New Year’s Eve at Starry, Starry Night, a free First Night celebration in Orange, Mass. It takes place at Town Hall, 6 Prospect St. We’ll be doing two sets: 6-6:45 p.m. and 8-8:45 p.m.

 

If you’re in the area, please stop by. Orange is about 80 miles west of Boston and 20 miles west of Gardner. (Hey, I didn’t know, either.)

 

​

Happy Holidays!
