May-June Newsletter 2023

Greetings, Friends.

It’s been way too long since I’ve shared a newsletter with you. While I’ve never stopped “doing” music, between COVID shutdowns and a year-long health issue due to a hip problem—now very happily resolved—I haven’t had a lot of public gigs. But I’m “Back in the Saddle Again” and more than happy to share info about some upcoming gigs. 

I’m ready for fun Montana summer. I’ll be leaving my part time job in Activities at Hillcrest Senior Living soon, although I’ll continue to play music and occasionally help out there. I’m hoping to get back into hiking when this darn smoke clears. We’ve already enjoyed a couple of camping trips, as well. Here’s a photo taken at Missouri Headwaters State Park, Three Forks. Yay summer!
