(from Mr. Rod Deacey)
Spring flowers are blooming and little yellow flags have shown up in Carroll Creek in downtown Frederick, which means the waterlilies will not be far behind! It’s time for our monthly Songwriters Showcase at Brewer’s Alley in Frederick, Maryland, on the SECOND Monday in the month, April 10 (which is TOMORROW!) so please come out for a great evening! Don’t forget, we start at 7:30... You should arrive early to get good seats, as always, as we have our expected excellent line-up…
We are always delighted to present our featured songwriter this month – our long-time friend TONY DENIKOS, known for his combination of outstanding songs and terrific guitar skills… Plus he does this quirky raspy thing with his harmonica which no-one else can master! Tony’s songs are perfect slices of Americana, punctuated by his wry, self-deprecating delivery, and despite his apologies, they are not depressing so much as authentic… Come and check him out!
Monday’s Piano Prelude, will be played and sung by another authentic voice –
the incredibly talented KATY HYLTON! Katy is moving soon, but we hope she doesn’t move too far away to come back and play for us! During the prelude and beyond, we believe the multi-tasking Christian will be taking care of our food and drinks as usual…
Three-song cameos will be from Todd’s Pick, bluesmeister TOM DEWS, who plays the best rack-mounted blues harmonica you are ever likely to hear, and one of our favorite pianists, ROCKIN’ RAY JOZWIAK, doing a rare three-song spot because we miss him… Poet JOHN HOLLY will be reciting a couple of poems sometime in the evening. I have new poems, and a beat poem with whoever shows up from the Brewer’s BaBoom! Unit (that’s BaBoom, not baboon; you read it too fast…). RON GOAD is doing his best to be present although he has another commitment, so it may come down to TIM BRADY and maybe TOMY WRIGHT.
Soundman and MC duties tomorrow will be undertaken as usual by TODD C WALKER, who likes the spring because that’s when houses practically sell themselves – right, Todd?
