2021 !!!

Sunday May 23rd (If it doesn't rain!) 3pm not 4pm

Will and Ted's Excellent Concert!  Fitzwater Station Sunday

3pm Start not 4pm as in olden days

Looks like things are slowly moving forward! Not perfect, but better than last year at this time when almost Everything was canceled. Will and Ted will try to entertain you at Fitzwater Station out back in the Grove. Ray Atkins is scheduled to visit along with who knows? Randy Wagner will be there on Bass and Vocals, so it's a sure fire mix with the three of us holding down the main program. Fitzwater is located in Mont Claire, Pa just north of Phoenixville off Rt 29. Be There or Be Square!

Bring a Lawn Chair and Buy Something to eat or drink. No coolers please.

And it's Dog and Goose Friendly!

Fitz usually provides the Geese. No need to bring yours.

Not a whole lot going on... 

I'm amazed if you are reading this. Not a whole heck of a lot going on. I have one private party booked for July but that's about it. Chaplin's was open briefly but then closed again by our Gov Wolf and an over abundance of caution. I don't know when I'll get a vaccine, but so many others won't be right away either there's not much point in going out yet. Domestic chores and family issues haven't left much room for music, but hopefully I can start working on some recordings and maybe a Streaming show or two. Lets keep some hope.I'll be poking my head above ground once the warmer weather arrives.  Onward!

Venues are opening slowly... 

Although Chaplin's is Open again, I'm going to be avoiding things for a while. I apologize for that but we need to be careful here at the Ranch.

Ah Charlie... Goodbye Charlie. 

Ah Charlie... I never met him, but I knew people who knew him and I've been doing his songs since the 1970's. I used to joke that if I ever got to meet him I'd shoot him for writing Devil Went Down to Georgia! I get asked for it all the time, but you need a rehearsed band to play it, there's actually very little fiddle in the tune. It's an elaborate band number which requires rehearsals and I never had a band of my own that would rehearse. He was a Legend for sure and lots of people don't realize how versatile he actually was. Not only Writing and Performing but producing other peoples recordings and doing tons of Session work.

Yet another Important Venue... 

Our team has been discussing the Covid-19 outbreak in the surrounding areas. Due to our close proximity to Montgomery County we've decided to close for now. No Sunday Open Mic until Further Notice

Important date for Philadelphia Musicians 

Unfortunately, because of Covid-19 this has been postponed until a later time, but please read and keep it in mind!

Certainly there's been some over lap and redundancy over the years between many groups and organizations nationwide. I helped launch the AFM Local 1000 way back in 1991 for instance. No matter what you think of the AFM or any of the others, The Music Industry Task Force seems to be the most well organized effort for us to get something going in this town. Please consider supporting their effort. The Film Office for instance has brought TWO different film productions to our little town of Royersford/Limerick here across the river with The Visit and Lovely Bones. The Music Industry Task Force can help make Musical things like that happen in and around Philadelphia too.
