Giggin’
March 4, 2009
Hey All,
So I finished my gig yesterday and was chatting with a couple from Michigan. There have been a lot of Michiganders on the cruise the last couple weeks, escaping the cold that is lasting far too long. Anyway, they were telling me that they own a book store and would love to have me play there this summer. While talking, one of the other gentleman that was listening asked me where I was from. He is from Chicago and own 4 Irish pubs around Wrigleyville. He told me he would also love to have me play there this summer. So, in a matter of 5 minutes I had booked myself for 5 gigs. I think that’s some kind of a world record.
I am hoping to be doing a lot of playing when I get back home. If you know of any places…anywhere that you think might fit my music please let me know. I am going to start doing some email with my material in the next month for the summer music boom. I would love to hit up a big chunk of Michigan, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. I am also going to try and play some gigs in Canada because I have gotten a great response from the Canadian guest on board. They all think I’m from Canada, actually, so I can take advantage of that.
So, keep the venue ideas coming.
Much Love,
BJSR
I have just been reading all the post that I have missed you really are making and effort to write more. Leah and Stephanie were just up the last few days for their spring break so I have been too preoccupied to post anything. The weather here in Michigan is very cold the last two mornings it has been below zero. Luckily the weather is supposed to warm up a bit by the end of the week. I don’t know of anywhere specific but I’m sure there are plenty of places in T.C. that would hire you. You should look into a stop to the cherry capital. I think that the reason that people think you are Canadian is that you say things like “go to the boat”. I love you
Remember you already have a gig for June 20th.

My friend’s version of David After the Dentist. Obvi we get a lot of studying done down here
In case anyone didn’t know, we got 6 inches of snow Sunday. Today it’s 60 degrees and there’s still snow on the ground…
Just what I was hoping for. That you would be noticed by people. I hope some even better offers come along in the next few weeks. The guy with the Pubs in Chicago sounds like an interesting connection. All is well here. I am giving a retreat this week-end on the Passion narrative in Mark’s gospel.
Love, Fr. Bill
Nice video of Becca’s boyfriend jammin to the Rhapsody!
Sorry, no open house this year. If we book you, it would only be for a party of 5.
