Well, another summer is drawing to a close. I still really enjoy the summer season although I do feel worn out often with so much more work that the season brings. I love “rising to the occasion” and pushing myself every summer though. There’s something invigorating about all the summer adventures, and I’m amazed at the well of energy that always seems to be available to me when I need it. Fall offers me the chance to slow down, and I cherish that along with the beauty of the earth as it goes to rest for winter. This last hurrah of summer over the Labor Day weekend has always been bittersweet, and I have written of it annually. I go back to childhood memories of walking a dried-up lake after a summer of irrigation or one last trip to a lake with my dad for a sailboat race. There is a sadness and also a sigh of relief on Labor Day that has always been there for me. I love it, but it also puts me deep into myself. Of course I love to go into deep thought and reflection. It is a meditative state that brings peace and relaxation. I guess overall that’s how I see the Labor Day weekend and the coming Fall. Happy Labor Day!

What have I been up to?
I had 8 senior facilities last week, and they were all very rewarding. Amazingly one had a Covid outbreak, and it’s something they’ve been dealing with since June. I even rescheduled them back in June because of it. Now they’re almost in the clear.
My Wednesday online show was songs of 1964, and it was a crazy show with the show’s online feed crashing at one point that sent me into a tizzy trying to figure out how to get back on. I finally was able to reconnect with a different browser, but it took several minutes, and I lost a couple people who never were able to get back on the show. The songs were a blast though, and there’s so many more left so we’ll do more 1964 songs this Wednesday.
Friday night at Garden of the Gods Club was a wonderful night with appreciative folks and beautiful weather. I had one patron at the bar who was a guitar player, and he had lots of requests and fun memories to share.
My Sunday online show was favorites and requests, and there were some really good ones. Every one of these nights turns into something special.

What am I up to this week?
I have 8 senior facilities this week, and they should all be great opportunities to share music and encouragement. I say it often, but this is a great privilege to play for these folks, and I never take it for granted.
My Wednesday online show 7-8:45 mountain time will be more songs of 1964, and I know this will be a blast. I still can’t believe how many songs I’ve learned from 1964 over the years. It was a truly great year for music. Come on out if you can!
Friday night I should be back at the Garden of the Gods Club in the Grand View Restaurant. The schedule hasn’t been confirmed yet, so if you want to come you might want to check with me before you make a reservation. I should know by later today. Reservations are at 888-994-3156 or you can usually sit at the bar or the small tables near me in the bar.
My Sunday online show 7-8:45 mountain time will be favorites and requests as always, and I really look forward to it. We always have such a good time, and my Munch Bunch audience is so supportive of me and each other. You’re always welcome!

That’s it for this week. I hope you have a nice Labor Day and transition into Fall.
Best always,
Tom
