FiddleMan Mailing List
for Monday, December 20, 2004
Welcome
to the 2004 Holiday Issue of the FiddleMan Mailing List.
NOTE: Due to SPAM attacks on my email address (mark@fiddler.com), I have officially discontinued it, and replaced it with fiddleman_mailinglist@spam.fiddler.com. Please make a note of it in your address books.
There are still no gigs to report for the remainder of 2004, but IÕm looking forward to spending some quality time with my family and friends, and maybe getting out into the woods and shoveling some snow.
In the mean time, there have been a few additions to the 2005 schedule. A lot of dates to pencil in, and keep track of as the details become clearer. Stay tuned!
The most immediate gig is with my old friends in Acadiana. IÕve been playing with this band for over ten years, and they have evolved over that time into a first-class Cajon-Zydeco band featuring Teresa Russell on rockinÕ guitar and vocals. They are based in the Ventura/Oxnard area, and have held down a monthly gig at Pirates for years now. I will have the honor of ringing in the New Year as their fiddle player on Sunday, January 2nd, 2005! So come on up to Ventura and do some Zydeco dancinÕ with Acadiana. ItÕs a LOT of fun!
And again, donÕt forget to mark down January 22, 2005 on your calendars. Border Radio will be back in Altadena at Bob Stain's Coffee Gallery Backstage on that date. And don't forget, Kelly usually bakes yummy pies for the Coffee Gallery concerts, and raffles a couple off at the show! WeÕre working on some brand new material too. It will be a great show.
I would like to wish all of my beloved friends and fans the very best of holidays. Take some time to look into each otherÕs eyes, to smile, to reach out a reassuring hand, to touch and to communicate. Practice senseless acts of kindness whenever possible. Remember to take the time to live your life, and not merely survive it. Breathe slowly and deeply, and look up occasionally. Focus on things that are farther away from you than your computer screen Š both physically as well as spiritually.
See you at the gig, or holiday party, or on the street, or at work, or at home.
Peace on earth. Good will toward everyone.

For years Acadiana has studied the
music of Louisiana greats like Buckwheat Zydeco, Boozoo Chavis, Beausoleil,
John Delafose, Stevie Riley, Dewey Balfa, Bruce Daigrepont, Queen Ida and many
more. With these influences and Acadiana's talent for writing original songs,
the band lends its own unique style to the Cajun/ Zydeco sound. An Acadiana
show is high energy, a great time, and a festive experience for all ages to
