On answering the question for Dawn Carroll’s Over My Shoulder Foundation “Who Was Your Mentor” this is what I came up with. No one…that’s why I’m such a kook and have struggled through out the years with self doubt and other bad thinking.
Saturday night was the Hot Stove Cool Music event. I really had to coax some of the kids from Home For Little Wanderers to take part in performing their own song “Be You”. Didn’t know how they’d get along with the girls from “Real School of Music” who were helping augment the singing.
Happy New Year one and all. Wondering what the new year will bring. Actually I’m not going to wonder what’s coming (stuff will come) maybe this is the year we concentrate on bringing what we want to ourselves. Believing we can manifest. Just believe.
I had a most unusual and exciting (to myself at least) set. Everyone was laughing a lot, so that is a good sign. I love playing the songs that the women have written.

Legendary baseball journalist Peter Gammons, Buffalo Tom frontman Bill Janovitz, and singer/songwriter Robin Lane visited the students in the Young Adult Resource Network and announced line-up additions to the upcoming Hot Stove Cool Music benefit concert, set for Jan. 14 at the Paradise Rock Club.

Tom Byrne owns and runs the music school which has been open just 3 years and is thriving. Tom heard about my House Concerts to raise funding for Songbird Sings, and we booked a date for a show and a clinic.
Robin Lane, who describes her life as a “tragicomedy,” recalls rolling on the floor laughing with an interviewer, as they both marveled over how she managed to survive. Coming of age in ’60s California, Lane cavorted with members of Buffalo Springfield, the Byrds, Arthur Lee and Love, and other musical icons of the era. The daughter of Dean Martin’s musical arranger and pianist Ken Lane, she grew up amid Hollywood glamour.

The youth from Home For Little Wanderers will be performing with me at the next Red Sox, Hot Stove Cool Music event January 14 at The Paradise in Boston. Susan Tedeshi, The Remains, Kay Hanley, Peter Gammons, the great sports writer, Bill Janovitz from Buffalo Tom, Mike Gent from the Figgs, Seth Justman from J.Giles and many more come out to play to raise money… for all the organizations Red Sox support.
Wednesday’s and Thursday’s I’m still facilitating Songbird Sings “Giving Youth A Voice” program at Home For Little Wanderers. So far they’ve come up with 5 songs. We’re going to start a new one this coming Thursday and Erica Nazarro who runs YARN program at the Home will be there to help as will Dawn Carroll who has been extremely supportive…
