That’s how it starts
Hello kids. It’s midnight, and I’m restringing my guitar to go play a show tomorrow night in Almería. It’s my first show in Adalucía, and I’m excited. It presents a special challenge to capture a non-English-speaking audience with just your guitar and your voice…it’s a moment where all your work crafting the perfect lyric is boiled down to its essence…beyond language. I dig it.
I have to give a huge shout out to Luís Muñoz. He is responsible for getting the site up and running. If you’d like to practice your Spanish, check out his blog. He’s a swell guy, teaching ESL students in Georgetown, Kentucky. Muy bien, tío.
TOUR INFO: Plans are currently in the works for a two and a bit week tour in August. I’ll be out with the irrepressible Jason Bemis Lawrence, and, if the stars align, a lady that likes playing the accordion. We’ll be checking out the Southeast and the Northeast and the Mid-Atlantic. ATTENTION: If you are interested in a house concert, please email booking@johnwhitaker.net as soon as possible. Details will be posted here and on my myspace page. More info? Check out my EPK.
I’m also hereby resolving to start blogging on the myspace. Keep your eyes open. Feel free to keep informed by signing up for the email list…I promise there will be no spamage.
More to come…
Yr Pal,
John
