Seasons change brings us closer than ever
putting on socks for the first time
that cosy comfort ~ these small sleeping bags for our feet
reach for your favourite sweater, fine old friend,
here’s my moss coloured second skin now
it begins to sink in
as our landscape colours flame up in glory
and the sticky sap sinks down within
We are here
somewhere in the middle
Dear Friends,
Michael Creber have been having so much fun at the Café Ça Va. I guess you could say that “The duo
that goes where no duo has gone before!” got a promotion.
We’ll be playing the next two Saturdays , October 18 and 25, instead of Fridays. You are so
warmly invited to join us at this softly sparkling venue, with all the earthly comforts you could possibly
want. Thank you for being you 😉 Thank you for your shining faces! Also this weekend some wonderful
news; scratch DJ, band teacher and extraordinary pianist Jason de Couto will be joining me on the
piano. You can count on an evening filled with magic, mystery, and wit. Come and see us in real life (he’s
much larger) 1860 Marine Drive, across from west van florist. 8:30 – 11pm reservations 604 – 925-
2503, or just drop by 🙂

…and how much the celebration of our freedom to love means, on the world stage.
St.Andrews Wesley Church and Jamie Croil of Jazz Vespers are kindly hosting us.
Where: The Wall Centre Outdoor Stage – Burrard/Nelson right across from the church.
When: Saturday August 2nd 4 – 5 pm.
So c’mon…jump in!

Everything in the West End seems to build up to the Pride Parade happening this weekend…The Fireworks series, the many towers getting washed down, cleaned up, and drilled upon…On top of all that is the little Ziggurat project they’re working on right next to me (which sounds a lot like dental work) One way and another, I figure it’s a great time to escape the clutches of the city and lean my arm up on the juice bar at the old hippy hangout in Roberts Creek, the Gumboot Cafe. Seraphina enjoys these types of outings. We’ll be playing Wayne and Patti Miller’s original music and Patti will dance! They are born – again Hawaiians. Summertime music will be made, and a good time will be had by all.

Naturals Light ~ a tasty trio version of Holly Burke & The Naturals will be appearing at the historic Sylvia Hotel on English Bay this Thursday, where we’ll delve into the mystery of the history…of this legendary ivy covered hotel, The Grande Dame of English Bay.
Did Errol Flynn really die there? is it haunted? And what about that cat, Mr.Got to Go?
Come find out.
1154 Gilford St. 8-10 pm. Two delicious sets. n/c
Who left the beautiful Magnolia on my door handle, I wonder?
We fell in Love last night @ 7 Dining Lounge formerly the Kozmik Zoohttp:/
Kristian Alexandrov’s BDay! best piano player
EVER!!!!
Excited about the new gigage appearing for us already ~ like a beautiful Blue Morpho butterfly out of it’s cocoon!
Just click on the “Performances” image and it all shows up…like magic, sort of. I still need some lessons in this stuff.
Anyhoo – greatly looking forward to being in the music with you again soon. I don’t know about you – but I’m FEELING
FUNKY!!! and have been enjoying the ‘arpeggiator’ on my Yamaha piano, when not checking out my regular Berry
piano, now 110 years young! I hope to play you “Brave Waking” at the next gig or so, which features a whole lot of the
mighty ‘arppegiator” and is funky as anything!
When in doubt – DANCE!
