Greetings mainlanders, Fish here just to let you know what's up. I've led some incredible music programs at Fletcher Hills, Carson, and about half of the 40 schools that we visit with our Blues In The Schools program. I am now recruiting and training 40 or so musical soldiers that will eventually help Gomango take over the city(Today San Diego ...tommorrow the world!) Paradise Point Resort loves Gomango: I will be at the Barefoot Bar all summer (every Sun 1-5 with the 7 piece Gomango Invasion (Barbara Jamerson, John Rekevics, Carlos Vasquez, Steve Smith, Mark Lopez, Jose Secola) and every other Sat 1-5 at the pool for the outrageously wet fest known as Gomango's Pool Party Playground. Featuring the Gomango Trio (Steve Smith, Carlos Vasquez, Fish) The First Friday Club is Back in May, and is sponsored by the Peninsula Community Planning Board's Arts Committee chaired by your's truly. I am coming up on one year as an elected member of the P-Board (...make my board the p-board, I wants to get funked up...) which is fun as heck, with lotsa controversial bickering, just the way I like it. I love my new Arts Committe because every body on it can either jam on an instrument or they run a venue in the hood. More on this soon... Quail Botanical Gardens has enlisted me as an artistic consultant for their 4 summer concerts. They take place every other Sunday 6-8pm starting July 10th and happen to feature my band Con Alma on July 24th. I have designed a show for the C.H.I.R.P fund raiser extravaganza at the Viejas ampitheater on April 30th. It's called Ladies Sing The Blues and features Barbara Jamerson, Cynthia Hammond and Sue Palmer with Dijha Marie. They are backed by an all-star line- up including guitarist Billy Thompson, Larry Logan on keys, Dave Scott as MC and on trombone, Bruce Cameron and John Rekevics on horns, Carlos Vasquez (my musical father) on drums, and me on bass and phone calls. I just did the theme song for a big TV show but I'm not saying what until I get the check. So stay tuned.
