New York Debut

Wed, 31 Dec 1969 16:00:00 -0800

I made my stage debut in New York City on Monday, July 5^th, 2010 at B.B. King’s. I was invited to join the stage with some very prestigious musicians. I sang my original blues song, “Go On.” Then, cruised over to join the jam with Ritchie Canatta located in Greenwich Village at the Bitter End. Just getting to play in the same establishment where Bob Dylan and so many other big name artists played was an exhilarating experience! It was very exciting to be accompanied by some of the best musicians in NYC, including Ritchie Canatta (Billy Joel band).

Help Make Local 890 a National Historic Museum

Wed, 31 Dec 1969 16:00:00 -0800

Our trip to New Mexico was an exciting roadtrip! We caravaned across three states and managed to boycott Arizona as well. Well, except for the speeding ticket that my friend, Sal got. He got zapped with the cameras!

We played at a very nice venue that had an audience of over 300 people! We met some fantastic people including Dr. Maria Trillo from Casa de la Cultura and Georgina Ortega from Casa in Las Vegas, NM. We met some folks from NPR radio and hooked up with the Morning Show with Gwyn & Lori 88.1 FM.

We were honored to also play at the Juan Chacon Union Hall. We met some miners and important activists there, including Huetotel Lopez, who is fighting hard to help preserve the Juan Chacon Union Hall. We had the chance to tell/play our story and to listen to their stories---One miner who spoke is 94 yrs. old!

Be sure to check out www.juntosenlaunion.org to help support the Local 890 Union Hall and convert into a National Historic Museum of Mining History!

Thank you!
