The Blakes on Telegraph Open Mic Extravaganza was canceled the last two weeks (somebody rented out the downstairs on the 7th, and everyone's favorite virtuoso/engineer was ill on the 14th) and will be canceled the next two weeks as both Jacob and I leave town for the holidays.

Come on back and see us for a fresh start and a fresh New Year on January 4! Jacob will be running the show for those first two weeks, I come back on the 18th from Italy, and we have I the Mighty (a great local band that started playing the old Songwriters' Symposium when they were still in high school!) featuring on January 25.

Happy holidays, see you in '10 and no disclaimers!

Peace, love and harmony,
Joe

Congratulations to my old bandmates
December 2, 2009

Grace Woods, Whitney Jacobson & friends are going to be at the Great American Music Hall on Thursday night opening for Alma Desnuda and releasing A Good Day in Red Paper. Doors open at 7:30; Grace at 9:00.

I won't be able to make the show, but I recommend you do it and pick up the disc. We went to the trouble of finishing it (and it was substantial trouble) because it was our best work to date. I went buckwild during recording, playing flute, percussion, beatboxing, and even singing a lead vocal. I'm proud of the result, even if I'm not part of the release festivities. Congratulations to Grace and Whits.

Peace, love and harmony,
Joe
