Catching up

Roger Goldenberg chows an apple at the Mt Major Summit
Roger Goldenberg takes a breather on Mt. Major

My school year starts a little later than most. This week has been catch up time with all the students that I didn’t get a chance to work with over the summer. It has been great to see all of you and spend some time talking about the time that has passed since our last meeting. Some have played some music, some have heard a lot of music, some have gone out to shows. As long as music is a part of your life, I’m good. It would be wonderful to work with people that practiced 8 hours a day and then went out and played a 4 hour gig every night but I’m still looking for that person. It’s not me! There’s someone I know that could turn into that person. We’ll wait patiently and eagerly to see and hear what happens! Here are some upcoming shows that I’ll have two hands in…
Sunday, September 25th – Rudi’s, Portsmouth, NH – 12 Noon – 3PM – I’ll play the Rudi’s brunch with pal Jesse Feinberg. You may not know Jesse. You should! He’s an excellent pianist and we should have a great time playing tunes for your dining and listening pleasure. Bring a horn too. Rudi’s is a great place to get wonderful food and drink and they are dedicated to presenting music so stop in often!
Sunday, September 25th – The Press Room, Portsmouth, NH – 5-9PM – The Press Room’s 30th Anniversary Celebration kicks into high gear tonight! Three Tenors? How about FIVE!?!?  Fred Haas, Ted Casher, Ralph Norris, Charlie Jennison and yours truly! If you’ve played the room before (?!) you can get in without paying the cover. BRING A HORN! PREFERABLY A TENOR! We’re going to have a BLAST! There has been an extra hour added this evening strictly for extra TENOR CHORUSES!
Monday, September 26th – Donkilo! at The Barley House, Concord, NH – 6-10PM – Come on out and DANCE to Donkilo’s hypnotic groove. We’ll start levitating at 6PM and keep the room suspended until 10 PM or until you bump your head on the ceiling, whichever comes first, okay!?!?!
Friday, October 7th – Combo Sabroso at The Kittery Dance Hall, Kittery, ME 8-11PM – There’s more dancing in your near future. You didn’t know that! C’mon out to the Kittery Dance hall to experience one of Boston’s best latin dance groups on the best dance floor you’ll experience any time soon! Alex Alvear is back from Ecuador and we’ll have the regular crew. This will be a hot night so get your tix early!
Sunday, October 9th – Jim Dozet Group, The Barley Pub, Dover, NH 8-11PM – Guitarist Jim Dozet has put a group together to play some of his jazzy original tunes as well as some of his arrangements of “new standards”. Should be a great night of music, especially if YOU are there!
Monday, October 10th – David Tonkin Group, The Barley House, Concord, NH, 6-10PM – Good pal Tonky and the boyz in another night of deep space exploration at the barley! This is officially my second night in the “barley tour” and what a great way to do it; with two of the finest guitarists in New Hampshire! C’mon out and celebrate monday with us and let us know what you want to hear too! I know Brandon (via Seattle) wants to hear Chris Speed’s “Mexahata”…so we’ll play that request and yours too!
Enough for now. Thanks for stopping by and be sure to go hear some live music or catch an art show or take in a play or heck, put on a play!
