“. . . his unique and cutting edge jazz style in spades. Although very difficult to pigeon-hole and self-admittedly unique to any genre, his style is at once esoteric yet melodic and demands the listener to really pay attention. His writing takes you on jazz journeys that take you to places you never expected to go and make Ray an interesting listen. I like to call this “Brandy Music”, cause it goes so well with a snifter in hand. . . 3 of 4 Martinis!!”

Brewing is the production of beer through steeping a starch source (commonly cereal grains) in water and then fermenting with yeast. It is done in a brewery by a brewer, and the brewing industry is part of most western economies. Brewing has taken place since around the 6th millennium BC, and archaeological evidence suggests that this technique was used in most emerging civilizations including ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia.
The basic ingredients of beer are water; a starch source, such as malted barley, which is able to be fermented (converted into alcohol); a brewer's yeast to induce fermentation; and a flavouring, such as hops. A secondary starch source (an adjunct) may be used, such as maize (corn), rice or sugar. Less widely used starch sources include millet, sorghum and cassava root in Africa, potato in Brazil, and agave in Mexico, among others. The amount of each starch source in a beer recipe is collectively called the grain bill.
There are several steps in the brewing process, which include malting, milling, mashing, lautering, boiling, fermenting, conditioning, filtering, and packaging. There are three main fermentation methods, warm, cool and wild or spontaneous. Fermentation may take place in open or closed vessels. There may be a secondary fermentation that can take place in the brewery, in the cask, or in the bottle.

Pianos come in a variety of sizes. There is the Concert Grand (between 7 and 10 feet in length), the Parlor (or Boudoir) Grand of about 6 to 7 feet, the Baby Grand (about 5 feet) and the Embryonic Grand (about 2 feet)- at Brewer's Alley, there is actually a digital baby grand which we lovingly refer to as the 'embryonic grand'

Monday Night Songwriters' Showcase is now in its ninth year!) The program starts at 7:30 pm with a piano prelude, followed by three or four songwriters doing three songs each (lots of variety). The featured songwriter for the evening goes on around 9 pm for around an hour, followed by two or three more three-song performers. Somewhere in the mix we may throw in some poetry. Our MCs are Ron Goad, Todd C. Walker and Tomy Wright, frequently interrupted by Rod Deacey on sound.
There is no admission charge per se, but there is a collection for the featured performer. If you don't want to put money in the hat, you don't have to. And you don't have to give a reason, or you can simply say “I can't spare anything this week” or words to that effect. That is totally fine as people’s circumstances change all the time.
If you CAN afford to put cash in the hat, please give generously – most touring songwriters live on an unbelievably small amount of money. They often drive all night to their next gig because they can't afford a motel. It is not an easy life. And all the tip money goes to the featured songwriter – no money is siphoned off for Ron, Todd or Rod, or for Tomy, Walt or John Holly, or for any of the cameo players, who perform for nothing. It actually costs them money to put on the shows, but they keep doing it for mysterious reasons that they have yet to fathom!
Featured songwriters are a mix of national and regional touring performers, with many award winners from all genres.
