Next Tuesday, August 10th, I'll be doing what may be my final appearance in the area, or anyplace for that matter at Kojaks BBQ in Palmetto. Just south of the Skyway. Please come on down and eat some of the best BBQ in the state, Listen to some great music, and say "Hi" http://www.kojakspalmetto.com/

Regarding "what may be my final appearance in the area, or anyplace for that matter" is that a threat? Or is your health fading fast?
Please clarify. I don't recall voting for your retirement.

No Steve, my health seems to be holding steady, it's just, with no transportation,and being so far away from everything I think it's best to just veg for a while. I've retired more times than I can remember but someone always drags me out of it, kicking and screaming. Hope you can make it down Tuesday,

Hey Family, You may never get a chance to see me perform live again, I'm serious about retireing, Performing just isn't "Fun" anymore. Come on down and change my mind.

Well,it was fun, but turned out I was playing for tips and didnt even make enough to cover the gas, tolls, etc. This is exactly I'm saying, "Screw it!". after 50 years of beating my head against these walls, I'm just gonna sit back , write and record , and see what happens., see y'all someday again I hope.

HiYa Bro!
Wish I coulda made it, but...waal...I barely had time/gas-enough to make it to the JPF Sunday gathering, where I wish we'd met up again!
I've ALWAYS enjoyed your stuff, Always WILL. It's tough to admit these ARE truly Tough Times..& not just for Music Folks, lemmie tellya!
I HOPE things pick up for us all...& YOU especially, Amigo! Know how frustrating having a Day Job can be..while The Performer IS in your blood & marrow. (& YOU are SO much better at that Performing part than I ever will be.)
All I can say is I'm Pullin' For Ya...HOPE something GOOD Comes Along...&...it probably WILL if ya keep on keepin' on.
(&..IF you CAN afford a Small Vacation...it's probably gonna prove Quite Beneficial. Key West sure changed Jimmy Buffett's Luck!)
Continual Best Wishes & a Big Guy-Hug, Stan

Ten-four on the writing and recording. Although I love to perform, I am focusing on writing, recording and internet promotion. Especially internet promotion.

Yeah playing real music in these days of rap and hip hop is like trying to serve filet mignon to a bunch of vegetarians.
