Jim's Gig Alerts

Tuesday evening was both the gig and thrill of a lifetime! With the Wayback Machine on stage playing to several hundred Obama supporters at the University Marriott, we were in the middle of a rousing version of Van Morrison's "Wild Night" when the news media called the election for Obama. Amidst a deafening roar, it was as if we were being levitated off the stage as we continued to play.

Wild night, indeed!

Tonight, Thursday, the celebrations continue with a night of jams at the Hut with Tom and/or Bev joining Top Dead Center.

Then tomorrow, I will be joining the Arnold-Klingenfus Ensemble for a show at Green Fire at the Lodge on Dodge at 3440 N. Dodge. After a couple of weeks of rehearsals, I'm really excited to be exploring a good chunk of the A-K catalog. For the last several years I've had the pleasure of joining them for their folk festival performances. As fun as that's been, those performances were only snapshots of their expansive repertoire. This evening will provide a full-on dose of their music. The show begins at 7:30pm--with a $5 cover.

Also, make plans now to be at the Wayback Machine's annual DANCE OF THANKS, Saturday, November 29 at the Boondocks. we'll be joined by Arthur Migliazza on piano, Mike Begala on guitar and Amochip Dabney on saxophones. Amo's band the Amosphere, will also make a special guest appearance.

In a non-music vein, my wife Rebecca and I will be doing a Yoga for Couples workshop on Sunday, November 23 from 1-4 pm. This workshop uses partner poses to help couples support each other in their yoga practice both on and "off the mat." View flyer for full info.

Please feel free to e-mail me, if you have any questions.

With much gratitude, appreciation--not to mention xoxoxo,
Jim and all your joyful friends here at Wayback Central
