Greg B sharing a song at the La Honda Fair. Lisa likes it!
Local Music has taken a huge hit due to the Corona Virus. Local venues haven’t been able to book music since Feb/March. All the wonderful events in our area are suspended for who knows how long. However many musicians are using social media to continue to provide music for their fans. You can search on your favorite musicians on Youtube and Facebook. I want to mention several people that are posting really great stuff that are local or have a connection to our area. First I want to mention Greg Baurman who you might remember working at the local post office. Greg has been posting wonderful videos of scenes of nature with him playing uke and guitar. He says he just wants to put out positive stuff to make people smile. Dan Newitt is another creative local that has been posting. My favorite of his is the video of him accompanied by three of himselves in the living room. How does he do that? DB Walker is also posting on a regular basis and I love seeing how one person can do so much by himself. One of the most entertaining and educational posters is Ken Leiboff who is a monster harmonica player. His posts include tutorials on the types of harmonicas. My favorite post of his is his harp version of a Rachmaninoff composition. Please Check out Katherine Wright as she has posted some wonderful tunes. Some of these folks are doing live shows on social media with the ability to tip them so please consider supporting them in these tough times. Many musicians are not eligible for assistance and are struggling to survive. Let’s all join together and do what we need to do to get back to where we can join with our friends and celebrate some great local music.
