Great band, nice comments from Kenny. Bruce's voice tired from previous 5 nights.

We had to play Jacks in Cambridge later that night, never saw Todd's show.

Guitarist for Patti Smith, strange bill.

Packed the joint, great quote from David, my home away from home.

Coveted show, we were the middle act, Steven Tyler was there.

A rare 2 night engagement, a fine bill but a sleepy crowd..

Freebo on bass, amazing band, had all Brian's records. A real gentleman!

My audition for TCB, one of several. Sang 5 tunes.

Toy Caldwell show, my first as a full time member, smokin' night.

Festival with TCB, James Montgomery, Max Creek and others.

We had tons of Tucker fans that night, we did an encore, goose-bumps!

Another magical show, both bands were hot, sold out!

5 piece TCB opened for Rick solo?? Toy sat in.

Huge turnout, 30,000, bikers with teddy bears. We went over great.

An all time favorite, w/ TCB, Outlaws, Dixie All Stars-JAM, sold out

A common bill we put on the road quite often, Rick had a duo.

w/ TCB. Bad night, I had equipment stolen and crashed the band van.

Toy Caldwell Band went over incredible, great old theater, good acoustics.

A homecoming of sorts for me, tons of friends came out.

My biggest show ever, over 60,000. Brian Wilson played. W/ Beaver Brown

3rd gig with Steve, coffeehouse crowd and a solid bill.

They actually opened for us, pretty cool!! John Vanderpool on sax.

Nice afternoon, we played acoustic.

We headlined the room with several other acts.

I'm an old fan so this was a great time, good crowd, strong band.

Edgar was incredible and still had the yell in Tobacco Road. Alto burned.

David Clayton Thomas was in fine voice but a bit cranky, monitors?

First stadium gig, w/ David Cassidy and Pousette Dart. Carl Rules!

Bo still had tons of energy, great day in downtown Providence.

George loved BMG, great quotes. CC smoked, fun gig.

Jeffrey had a hit with "In your eyes" He was very gracious.

The ultimate party band always delivers, strong night.

Full house, Warren had devoted fans. Some sound issues.

Matt in great form, helped me with my tone after the show.

Old friend Tommy Majors on drums for BO. Beautiful day for a show.

Liv was amazing, got some great quotes and heard some funny stories.

Nice day for an outdoor show, don't remember much.

Great setting, band members are old friends. Everybody rocked!

w/ Del Fuegos and Heavy Metal Horns, saw old buddy Vanderpool.

Charlie's band was a little tired, good turnout.

Peter did 5 encores, amazing band, great night.

Bad acoustics but a great food spread backstage!!

Rick Danko introduced us, M & M's first gig! Did a 40 min. rehearsal prior..

An avowed weather lover gets to play for his hero! Met all the ch. 5 "team".

The show where I met Carl Wilson, who taught me to warm up my voice.

Joe and band were strong, BMG w/ 6 piece lineup, great response.

Both acts were on fire, George gave up some great quotes, nice venue.

Storybook evening, sold out, BB's 70th birthday tour, we made a CD of it.

The duo played 2 Wednesday's a month as a residency, this one w/ Sandy Mac on keys.

Finally get in the legendary room with a light crowd, can't win em all.

Also on the bill: The Band and Blue Man Group? ZLX. Frampton's tone!!

A perfect fit and a really engaged crowd, we went back there a few times.

Surprisingly small turnout, great bill in a beautiful hall.

M & M co-headlined with Geils. Also Radio Kings, Ricky Russell, M. Woodburn.

We co-headlined with Patty, great day for us "folkies".

Don't remember muchÉa big production cover band.

Acoustic trio did both area Moody Blues dates, band very friendly.

More of a moody blues crowd on this night.

Marti Bare loved Dave Cournoyer, also Mark Pollock on mandolin.

Crisp fall day, Mark of the Turtles borrowed my guitar. Flo and Eddie!

Folks still evoke this show today, a magic night, 7 pc. powerhouse band.

Club's dream band: J. Montgomery, Denny Breau, Peter Bell, R. Worthley.

One of many shows with KD, smooth vocals, 3 front-men, every show unique!

Johnny did semi acoustic, no horns. I jammed with them during encore.

2nd show w/ Johnny in 3 days. Not as receptive as Backstage.

We did show as acoustic trio, very well received. Charlie was reborn that night.

All acoustic dual guitars and dual harps. Tons of fun, never to be repeated!

Johnny had a cold but the band cooked, horns ruled the day. We went over great.

All star lineup- Stu Kimball, Steve Perry, Pete Hackel, Dom Dinardo, Dave C.

A 2 night engagement like the old days. Rare combo of BMG and James.

This one brought me to tears, he was right on. M & M rocked the house.

Surprise guest w/ S. Kimball, S. Perry, we did Sonny Boy's "Help Me" and more.

Always dug Dan, great bill and we both did "WalkinÕ Blues".

Trip back in time, full house. Chicago got mad I played too long.

Another favorite, got a great CD of the show. Amazing sound for big room.

With Dave Cournoyer, they ditched all the tables and made a dance night.

Bryan very supportive, great band and his voice was dead on as usual.

We played to a full house, went over great. Met Kim, what tone!

With Dave Cournoyer, great feedback from Patrick and Keith (RIP) They ripped.

Great to hear a seasoned pro, his band was top notch. I was well received.

w/ Jeff Majeau and Pete Hackel, jazzy stuff, Mark was amazing, no one came..

w/ Boston Horns, Andy Pratt, Danny Klein, George McCann, Pete Hackel.

First time in the hall, great reception, acoustic set and full electric.

Co- headline w/ Buckwheat Zydeco, fantastic evening. TH was there too.

Great show in a classic Adirondack style lodge, good turnout.

This was booked as an acoustic opener with me and John Donahoe opening for the Saturday Night Live Bandleader and Hall and Oates guitarist but we ended up being part of his band as the rest of his guys were stranded on the Mass Pike with a dead van....we called a local drummer and bass player and did the night, what a gas!! GE was on fire!! I got to front and sing most of the night..

Beautiful day and setting, Hiatt was amazing and actually plugged me during his set, nice guy and very gracious..

I scored the second NE date with John that summer, fabulous crowd, they were clappin and stompin when I did "Unchain My Heart" Hiatt played a completely different set from the Block Island Show. We traded CD's, this was my 3rd show with Hiatt..

We won our night and moved to the finals the following week. We ended up being the runner up and actually beat the band that came in first during the semis but they clinched the wild card and prevailed...there's always next year.....
