“I can see God in a daisy"
- Bob Dylan
Hello gang.
It’s me Ranger Will from up on the hill with the latest
dispatch:
Tonight I will be doing a 7:30 solo
acoustic show upstairs at Stephie’s at Crazy Carl’s. After my two sets, The Mighty
Manatees will take the stage for the rest of the
night.
Three days later, Monday, March 17
(St. Patrick’s Day), Dos Manatees (duo) will be singing their Irish
hearts out at The Rising Sun.
Showtime is 7:30pm.
Manatees Fun Fact: Did you know that recently, the Florida Marlins began
recruiting for a new cheerleading squad known as The Manatees which
features over-sized-but-limber men?
It’s true! http://florida.marlins.mlb.com/fla/fan_forum/manatees.jsp
On Friday, March 25, it’s the
long-awaited Traxx re-opening in Colmar, PA. Come and check out all of the work that went into the
place.
Saturday, April 12, The Mighty Manatees debut at
Third & Walnut in Lansdale, PA.
Showtime is 9:30.
Thanks to Herman (who has a good new solo CD called “Peace +
Love”)
My son Wyatt, turned me on to
www.freerice.com . You answer skill-testing
questions and win rice for hungry people. Check it out.
My daughter Jules, who is studying writing at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver and is a part-time model, recently made the cover of the city paper up there. Check it out here: http://losmanatees.com/images/cover.jpg
My daughter Fiona is also a part-time model even though
she’s only 3 years old.
Check her out at www.ashers.com (She is in the fourth picture in the slide
show.)
My sister Sue’s husband Steve has been running the
web-site for British guitar legend Robin Trower for many years. This week
he got me free tickets for my first-ever Trower show at The Fillmore on
South St. in Philadelphia. It
was a truly inspirational experience. The whole band was very “on” and I sensed
an extra element to the proceedings.
It wasn’t until later that we learned that Robin had heard of
his father’s passing hours before the show. What a performance! Thanks to Robin, Laurie, Davey, Pete, Glen and
especially my brother Steve.
My mother, Eleanor Hodgson, has
been a professional writer for most of her adult life. She has several novels to her name and has appeared in
countless publications. Her
latest finished project is a detailed history of the remarkable Canadian
lake town of Minaki, Ontario where she has spent her summers since
childhood. Recently a quiz
she created was published in Good Times magazine. Way to go Ma!
My new comic strip, “Swimmin’ In
Wimmin”, will begin running in the bi-monthly
newspaper Montgomery County Woman.
Thanks to Gary Soden for his support.
See you at the
shows.
DON’T FORGET TO REGISTER TO
