After a year of failure to keep up this blog, I'm going to do something new with it- put songs that I want to keep on it. This will take a while and be an ongoing project. I will try to keep you posted on the band at the right (this has been sporadic). Will bring pix too...

Sorry I haven't kept this site up very well; I've been very busy. We did actually play a gig at the Unitarian Fellowship, a benefit for a Zambian AIDS hospice. It was successful & well received. Will try to keep this site a litte better up-to-date in the future.

directions to Cobden

2007-06-22T21:45:00.000-07:00

go south on US 51; go past Makanda; turn right at the sign that says Cobden. This is a country road that will wind its way down into the town of Cobden, where you will go through a stop sign, and then have to turn left. Right there, take the first right and it will drop you off on Main Street, about a block north of the Yellow Moon. You'll recognize the yellow awning, and the fact that, the downtown is quite small; it won't be hard to find. Hope you join us!

Greetings, original music-loving friends o' mine!

After a hiatus from doing gigs since about November (I
think), Parsley & Sagebrush is up and about again,
temporarily minus two members. The following is what
we have going for March:

Sat., March 17th: Fourth Anniversary Peace March and
Rally, starting at the Pavillion and ending at
Interfaith Center. Rally starts around 1:30 PM. I'll
be playing two or three peace songs during the rally.

Then, later on in the evening (also March 17th):
Candy ("Parsley") and Thyme (pronounced "Tom") will be
at the Yellowmoon from 8:00 - 10:00. Come hear my
band member Tom Leverett's wonderful fiddle and banjo
accompaniments--he really adds a great dimension
to our sound! :)

Thu., March 29th: Candy at the Yellowmoon Cafe once
again, doing a solo gig. Music begins around 7:00.
