HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood—the Ning neighborhood.
Let’s just say this post is respectably late; but it’s here and we’ve got the entire Fourth of July weekend. As a tribute to our Independence as well as a salute to a few of America’s most talented artists, I offer to my Ning neighbors, “The Night I Painted the Sky” Jimmy Buffett; “Oh, How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning” Jessica Molaskey (Did I ever mention just how fabulous she is?); and the genius of Ray Charles with what I beli… Continue

Thank you for posting "A Home Away From Home". It's a performance of Mark's that I had not heard before. It certainly reflects the character of "A Cozy Bed and Breakfast". A delightful tune, I would be interested in knowing what First Cabin production it comes from.

Thanks for the compliment... I have been ride'n high in the saddle all weekend!
Funny you mentioned richjenkins.com, I just acquired the domain two weeks ago. Now all I have to do is update the content once I scratch up a little more coin. I am working on a short promo video and that has been devouring all of my marketing budget.
I read the message you left for Doc, you hit the nail on the head, this network is quickly becoming a wonderful place to visit. Talk with you soon!
Again, thank you for the kind words, R-
Thanks for passing the info about SWJF 2008 on. Sorry you can't make it. I will be contacting Mark (Kershner) also regarding the Fest. I had the opportunity to work with Mark last month (indeed a gifted voice+) and we are playing with the idea of the Trio, Kilde, Fleetwood & La Freniere, and Mr. Kershner doing some venues and perhaps recording together. I should tell you that Mark gives our violinist, Mr. Ron Kilde, credit with giving him his start as Mark, in his mid teens, would sit in with Mr. Kilde's ensemble and got his first taste of performing live a that time. It's been said "it's a small world". I guess all I can say is first cabin all the way. Mark's "This is the Life" is spinning in my laptop now. An additional note, my wife and I had a wonderful afternoon shooting up to Portland after church and catching Rebecca Kilgore and Lyle Ritz, the father of jazz ukulele in performance. Wonderful!!! If you could catch Ms. Kilgore on a future production .... what a voice .,.. and her delivery is without equal.

Wanted to make you aware of a delightful Jazz Fest coming up on May 10th here in Oregon. The 2nd annual Silverton Wine & Jazz Festival, http://www.silvertonwineandjazz.com, is scheduled for May 10th in historic downtown Silverton, Oregon, located in the beautiful foothills of the Cascade Mountains about 40 miles south of Portland, from Noon to 9:00 p.m. The Festival will have 20 live jazz acts, one of the headliners being a delightful singer, Retta Christie and her Trio, featuring one of John and Jessica's favorite's Mr. Dave Frishberg, (and including the Trio, Kilde, Fleetwood & La Freniere, that I perform with,...gosh I hope that's not too self serving) performing in 14 intimate venues while 11 local wineries (I'm sure you've heard of the amazing wines produces here) offer tastings and wines by the glass and a variety of tapas-style food accompaniments. The Festival follows what they are calling a "wine walk" format - with venues spread throughout the downtown Silverton area. I thought with your jazz/entertainment connections you probably know far more people, even in my region here in Oregon than I, who might enjoy at "first cabin" afternoon of wine, jazz and beautiful scenery. I can even suggest a "cozy bed & breakfast", http://www.brittonridge.com , just minutes from downtown Silverton. Tell Darrell I sent you.
Certainly all the best

Thank you for your kind response. This is certainly a delightful and edifying network the Mr. Pizzarelli and Jessica have launched. Thank you for the kind words regarding our music . . . my colleagues are, indeed, extraordinary, with exceptional musical pedigrees, and I find it a privilege to play, and to try to keep up, with them. I look forward to hearing more from First Cabin, "Room With A View" is spinning in my laptop now... certainly First Cabin All The Way!

Love "Burnt Toast!" Where did you ever find that record player gizmo?? As usual, John has found another way to bring the music to the people! He and his father are a big inspiration to me.
All the Best, Rich
It's Rose Walker from Denver here. I was wondering if you had a chance to see the video I posted recently. It's the City Medley by Andy Wms & Tony Bennett from back in the day when they were whippersnappers. Let me know what you think!
Rose
I agree, Terry Blaine is THE BEST! Love her!
