New Songs, Frogs, and Spring Warmth



A warming trend has finally found a foothold on the Olympic Peninsula after a long, cold, wet winter. Frogs are chirping, grass grows and cheerful music plays at the Junction, the Ajax Cafe and Michael's Divine Dining in Port Angeles. Armed with new songs and new smiles Rollin' Waters has rehearsed with drummer Tom Svornitch in anticipation of upcoming gigs in Port Townsend. Last week at the Junction open mike/jam inquiries were made regarding our playing for two weddings and private parties. In other words, it looks like a busy spring, and we're talking about recording songs such as "Time After Time." Be assured, it ain't gonna' sound like Cindy Lauper or even Eva Cassidy when we get done with it. Other new (old) songs we're arranging include "Down the Line," "Blender Blues," and "Take Me to the River," to name a few. By the way, that's not me pictured with Stephanie above with a face lift and dye job, but rather Cody, who jammed with us a week ago.

This Saturday starting at 6:00 PM we play at the Ajax Cafe in Port Hadlock, and the following week we're at Michael's Divine Dining in Port Angeles. Like usual, we're at the Junction in Port Angeles on Sundays for the Open Mike/Jam starting at 7:00 PM.
