Mark Indictor's Upcoming Appearances
as of Friday, October 1,
2004
Hello again everyone. 
ItÕs October already. I actually saw Christmas
trees and decorations on display at MacyÕs LAST weekend! The war is raging, the
debates are on, the JPL fiscal year is over, and still there is music.
The Border Radio performance at the Bean
Town Coffee house in Sierra Madre was great. A good room, good coffee and eats,
with lots of old fans, and a few new ones. The gig at ColeÕs in Downtown L.A.
with I See Hawks in L.A. went well too.
The room is so live that the whole band plays and sings into a single
microphone, and everything is completely acoustic. Very cool vibe! I See Hawks in L.A. is a great band, and I highly recommend
that you check them out. Unfortunately, Brantley Kearns, their fiddle player,
was conspicuously absent from that show on Wednesday night. IÕve known Brantley
for 30 years, and he is one of the finest fiddle players around, not to mention
a wonderful human being. He is suffering from a pinched nerve in his neck that
is preventing him from playing. I cannot imagine how difficult it would be to
not be able to play. So I would like to ask everyone who reads this to say a
special prayer for Brantley. Please, send Brantley some healing energy, and
help him get his music back.
As usual, the Saint Monica's Church Octoberfair
was tremendous fun. Hot Lips
& Fingertips played a couple of lively sets, lots of dancing and
merry-making. A wonderful time was had by all. Great chili and Martinis too!
If you
can get up to the Ventura area next weekend, donÕt miss The
Ventura Seaside Highland Games. Lots of Tartan, Haggis, and Kilts. I will
be appearing with one of my favorite Celtic Rock bands, MacLear. We will be having a set of rare
performances centered on the weekend of October 8th, 9th,
and 10th. We will be performing throughout the day Saturday and
Sunday at the games, and on Friday and Saturday evenings at a local pub. IÕll
send out a special newsletter next week as soon as I know our actual
performance schedule, and in which pubs weÕll be hanging out during the
evenings.
HL&FT will be playing again
on November 12th at one of our favorite local music venues, Boulevard Music, Make sure to call
and make reservations. It is a very intimate show -- the place has only 100
seats, and tickets sell out fast.
DonÕt forget to check out Border RadioÕs upcoming gigs. This
band is just keeps getting better. Keep an eye out here for new gigs as they
get booked. WeÕre trying to come up with a name for the kind of music we play.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Just email your ideas to mark@border-radio.com.
Gotta get back to work now. Have
a great October, and please come hear one or two of these gigs. It would be so
nice to see you there.
See you at the gig!
All the best,
Mark
