Greg Baurmann writes “I’ve been playing guitar since I was 12 years old. I got my first guitar from a mail order catalog for $12 plus shipping. I’ve written a song about that! From my band in high school (Oceana in Pacifica, class of 1969) to the present day I have shared the gift of music with others that have been interested in sharing their talents. I find some songs I write come from the clouds like rain, and some take time to develop. It’s a delightful challenge to put it together, a bit like a jigsaw puzzle that needs to fit just right”. 4:00 – 4:30
Jonny Domino, native son of the tobacco farms and blue crab marshes of Maryland, became a bluesman one winter day in 1956. While accompanying his mother on a shopping trip to D.C. he heard the wailing of a 12-string acoustic guitar and harmonica being played by an old black woman sitting in a homemade wooden wagon. She needed the wagon to get around as she had no legs from the knees down. The music grabbed little Jonny by the collar and dragged it to its hypnotic tones, then it kissed him. He had been chosen, or abducted, by the blues. That day a little 5-year- old boy had walked into a crowd on a wintry sidewalk listening to a street busker play for change but walked out a Bluesman. Singer/songwriter Jonny Domino has told his stories and what he calls his "musical mini movies" to audiences from coast to coast and Europe for many years. Come listen to his movies, won't you? 4:30 - 5:00
