Leeward Rail and special guests played 4/20

Leeward Rail with special guests, Jim Somers and Ed Saccoccia, played to a packed house at the Parker River Wildlife Refuge Visitor's Center on Sunday, April 20th. That was the fastest hour and a half of my life, and one of the most enjoyable musical outings yet. Our thanks go to the 'Friends of the Refuge', and all the friends who made the show such a success. Thanks Jim, Keith and Ed.

Ed is an old college buddy who is a chemical engineer as well as a brilliant musician. It was a great thrill to play with him again. (The last time was 33 years ago, at URI). Ed plays in the Buffalo, NY area, and can se seen and heard backing up Christian artists Glen Miller, (no, not that one, this guy is alive, well, and one peerless vocalist), and Angela Auten, (think Allison Crouse), among others. Glen and Angela both have CD's out, with Ed's playing and writing all over them!

Jim is the genius behind Sonora Marketing in Amesbury. He does website design, marketing, well, suffice it to say, he does anything that a business would need to look good and be profitable.

Keith Allen, a computer genius in his own right, will be playing this Saturday, 4/26, at 7:30 at the Actor's Studio, The Tannery, Water St., in Newburyport. He'll be backing Mike Fourney and some other musicians who will be telling Mike's musical life story from his roots in the south. Check it out!
