Shameless Self-Promotions

[damonshort]

Since several people have mentioned they'd like to know when and where I'm doing some music - which I can confidently say I'm much better at than tournament disc golf, especially lately- please to indulge the following:

I'm playing on the Chicago Jazz Composers Collective series this Sunday, October 23 at about 3 pm, at the Green Mill, 4802 N. Broadway, Chicago. The first band - quite a good one - starts at 2 and my group is doing the 2nd set. Plenty of time to hit leagues, blow off the club meeting    and head down. Over-21 though.

I'm a sideman with the Jeff Marx Trio at the Velvet Lounge, 2128. S. Indiana, on Friday Oct 28th, starting around 10. Jeff's a good saxophonist and is should be interesting.

I guarantee my own group, playing at the Velvet on Friday Nov 4th, *will* be interesting; featuring a couple of players off of my CDs.

Hope you can check it out.

Damon,

I too am MUCH better at music than disc golf, but I keep trying.  I was a performance major at NIU in the late 70's.  My main gigs now are the local big bands, specifically the Lewis University Jazz Band.  I play lead alto ... and my major instrument is the FLUTE.

Damon,

wow; so was I. (composition, then performance.) Funny we didn't run across each other; I'll bet we remember some of the same people though.

You probably had comp classes with Jan Bach?  I had Pete Middleton for the flute stuff ... and played lead tenor in the 2nd jazz band under Ron Modell'

Damon,

Where's the Velvet, and what time are you playing?

I assume you are not playing Widderrshins as you will get home after midnight the night before.  I hope to drag my brother (U of I composition major in early 80's) to your 11-4 show at the Velvet.

Actually I have played tournaments the night after gigs, doing well at Bevier a couple years ago, horribly at Lombard last May. Widdershins depends on the weather and my son's basketball schedule more than my physical condition.  

Doug, details on location/start time are in my original post above.
