Well, I know THE MANDOLIN CAFE in Tacoma is a little way outside our area, but not much, AND, my Steve's played there several times over the years AND, I love it. There's unique delicious sandwiches, soups, beer, wine and fresh roasted coffee. They have a relaxed atmosphere, and an artist's gallery...which I really enjoyed. Music several nights a week. Well, This is what I read on FACEBOOK this morning from RUSS HARRIS. " I know all talented musicians I have as friends on the network and this is an open invite to The Mandolin Cafe 3923 South 12th Street, Tacoma Consider this an open invitation to come and perform beginning tonight and through possibly through next couple of months sunday nights at 7 PM Denny Foreman will facilitate".

My Steve BARTLETT ON BASS reports planning to do some recording tomorrow, Monday, 11/22 at 9 am., with another member of this fantastic band he's with. They're starting the second stage of the recording process used in creating a fine musical CD.
Steve went jamming last night at LIQUID SOUL COFFEE ROASTERS. Even though he got there after 9 pm. it was great, he had one of Martin's wonderful coffees, enjoyed hearing the other musicians play and got to play a few tunes himself too.
