Album Description

I stumbled upon this live 2018 recording in late 2024. The Black Orchid Lounge was a quaint little jazz/folk venue on the west side, tucked into a strip mall. The owner, Michelle Fierro, was very accommodating. It was ‘the’ cool place to gig. I think Covid brought on its unfortunate demise. The ‘shaker’ you hear now and then is a drink being mixed at the bar. This recording is unfiltered. Is it perfect? Yes, sort of. I’m glad I found it. A very heartfelt thank you to Curt Bushaw. As a songwriter, it’s not easy to find musicians who not only take the time to learn your material but also greatly enhance it. Curt is one of those musicians. On a final note, I’m not fond of listening to myself perform live, but listening back through this session, Curt and I were locked into some pretty good grooves. I hope you like it.
