This was a quick little video that the dad of one of these kids that hung out with me on Sat and sang some songs took !! : )
I like this gig because it’s it’s outside in front of a Starbucks and there’s a bunch of families hanging out and kids playing in a fountain right in front of me. : )

This is a review post that my friend Gaston Hinostroza did on me on Facebook. It made my day….: ) Hey Kids – This is a COOL PERSON friend alert.
Let me introduce you to an amazing musician, a super talented piano player, a gracious host and someone I am finding it easy to call a friend of mine, Mr. Marc Bosserman.
He is a regular at the Left Coast Wine Bar & Gallery; where Marc brings a half swami / half jukebox like talent for playing exactly what you’re hoping to hear.
Do yourself a favor. Go see Marc at

I’m starting on Monday…mostly because it’s where my week started! First off two of the regulars at Parkway came in with a bunch of family and friends and brought me – yes me, a CD of ….ta da! Real Portuguese music!! Beautiful.
These wonderful people have been coming in for months and it’s always a great exchange talking to them about music and songs etc…
The husband is from Portugual and he has often asked me to play any “Portuguese” music. I have been at a loss…What is it? It’s not Brazilian even though Brazil speaks Portuguese..Okay, Now that I have had a chance to listen a bit, I know! And it’s of course unique and beautiful and the best thing is that now I can learn some real Portuguese music!! Cool!
And then- who else comes in? This awesome party of very bright people who want to hear- amongst others-”It’s a Wonderful Life!” ( “What a Wonderful World”)
The exchange with these people is just fun and the lady even asks me to come out to the table and see what else they would like to hear.
One of the party it turns out is a writer who writes for magazines in England and almost played golf recently with…… Rick Wakeman!! What? Wild! I shook his hand because he promises me he is going to play golf with Rick Wakeman in the near future and, he will shake his hand for me!!!! So now, I shook hands “once removed” with Rick Wakeman! Now that’s awesome!
Plus they did love my rather over the top version of Piano Man!! Let’s just say it brought the whole table into the piano area from the Dining room for the big finale!! : ) Amazing night!

One of the coolest things about playing all the time in LA is that you meet all kinds of amazing people.
In one night I happened to be playing in Studio City at the Bistro Gardens.
I met Grizzly Adams… aka Dan Haggerty. It really was a treat he is quite a cool dude.
He wanted to hear a song called “Nature Boy” which Nat King Cole had a number one hit with in the 40s.
He told me about the writer of ”Nature Boy” and what a great soul he was. That’s sort of amazing because I love that tune and I’ve often wondered what kind of person can write “Nature Boy”. According to Dan, he never made a dime for it.
Ok here’s a wierd one…Rob Mackenzie, who happened to play guitar for Sha Na Na for 12 years and is a jazz guitarist… just happend to sit next the piano on Christmas Eve and at the end the night of enjoying each other’s company he finally said you know there is a song that I’d love to hear “Nature Boy”. Then he told me that eden Ahbez, the writer, actually lived in his house for 10 years.
Wild times.
It was amazing to meet two people who were both really cool. in the same week telling me about the guy who wrote “Nature Boy”…someone I would have loved to have met.
Ever had that happen? Something similiar?
Amazing!
