With a Little Help From My Friends

Well, the Almost Famous Folksinger World Tour continues (ha ha ha). This past Friday night I played at The Friendly Coffeehouse in Towson (sponsored by Baltimore Folk Music Society) and met up with old friends and made some new ones, including a cello player named Les (hope to play together one day) and local singer songwriter named Joe who gave me a copy of his CD after I told him how much I enjoyed his songs. Got to play two numbers: Quinn the Mighty Eskimo (the old Bob Dylan tune with a Garyism of a minor 7th thrown in) and With a Little Help From My Friends (that old Beatles chestnut but without the Joe Cocker arm gestures!), and had some nice harmonies on the latter from our daughter Sophie. Will be working on a working demo kitchen tape for With a Little Help From My Friends (with Sophie). Next stop for the world tour: Wednesday night (1/19/2012) at The Village Coffee and Tea Company in Dundalk (an open mike put on by The Baltimore Guitarist Group (a free meetup group to encourage people to get out and play). Hope to see you there!

Peace,

Gary Kenneth Bass
