Repost of the Truffle newsletter 9/15

Gerard * Truffle E-Pig Page 9/15-9/20
Hey To All,
Big thanks to all for a fun, final night aboard the Thomas Laighton.....despite a rainy evening. Way to be hard-cores! We will look forward to the Spring for our next cruise. If you are starting to feel as if the season and outdoor gigs are slipping away, no need to worry, a real good one: THIS Friday September 19 at the Three Chimneys Terrace in Durham. This will also be the final Terrace show for Truffle here this summer. More details on that below. And the Deerfield Fair, electric and acoustic sets on 9/26 & 9/28. The rest of this week is looking pretty cool too, so read on for all the details.
The Stone Church in Newmarket, NH was successfully auctioned off to yes.......some music-lovers thank god! Since so many folks have been asking, I will include the article at the end of this e-page for those who would like to read it. Thanks to Scott, Adam and Art for coming to the rescue. Of course thanks to John, Paul and Chris for all they have done in the last 4-5 years. We are all hoping they may be still on board to help run the operation.
The full September and October schedule is on the site now, with highlighted shows on our home page. For this info, DG and Truffle CD's and anything else you may need from us, check out:
The Last Week of Summer
Tonight, Monday September 15 * Jonathan's
Lexapalooza/ A benefit jam for Lex Romane
2 Bourne Lane, Ogunquit, ME (207) 646-4777
DG & DB, and many other musicians ~ 7:00
Our good friend and musical influence Lex Romane suffered a life threatening infection a couple of months back, and was laid up for two months. He has recovered very well and is back on his feet playing music again.........however, the medical insurance situation of most full-time musicians is not a good one. Without insurance he has racked up a huge debt. That's where this fun evening comes in to play. What better way to help Lex out than to have a jam of biblical proportions! There will be acoustic and electric performances, as well as many jams by more of the best area musicians than I have room to print. Check out all the details at: www.lexandjoe.com
The Nightlife's were a huge influence on Truffle in our early days and taught us plenty about being hard working, competent musicians. Lex and Joe played at my wedding, and Joe has recorded with us on "Dish me In" and recently stepped in as part of our horn section at the Party Gras bash at the Stone Church. Come have some fun and help Lex out for all the great music he has given us for years!!!
Wednesday September 17 * WSCA 106.1 FM
Writers in the Round ~ Deidre Randall (host)
DG & Conor O'Brien ~ 6:30-8:00 ~ Live on air
I have been wanting to get back live on WSCA for a while now. Who better to share the night with than Mr. Golden Pipes himself, Conor O'Brien. We will be swapping songs and doing some chatting on Deidre's long-running show. I will focus mostly on my newest tunes, so people from far away who have not heard them at a show yet, tune in on your computers and find us live!
Later that night.......
The Press Room
77 Daniel St., Portsmouth, NH
(603) 431-5186
DG Solo ~ 9:00
It couldn't have worked out any better to play the Press Room after WSCA in Po-Town. Maybe I'll even convince Conor to stick around and jam some? Join me downstairs at one of the best music venues around. Good pub eats, good Guinness, and some live DG!
Thursday September 18 * Brixham General Store
435 Cider Hill Rd., (Rt. 91) York, ME. (207) 363-6600
DG Solo ~ 6:00-8:00
My old friend Michael Specker called me up to help them celebrate the GRAND OPENING of their new general store. It sounds like a wonderful place and I look forward to pickin' some tunes for them. Come check it out!
Friday September 19 * Three Chimneys Terrace
Rt. 108, Durham, NH (603) 868-7800
Electric Truffle ~ 7:00-11:00
All Ages / No Cover / Rain or Shine
Hard to believe the last one of these shows of the season is upon us! Where does the summer go? Well, no better way to cap it off than at the Chims!! If you haven't caught one of these yet.....here's your last chance. It's a fantastic venue out there, and sounds great. Plenty of space to relax and do some dancing. Also....it's an all ages show, so bring the whole family. There's no cover charge, and they will be serving dinner on the Terrace with a full bar. There's even talk about rented heaters in case it's a bit cool? But you all are hearty New Englanders so bring a coat and call it good, or dance a bit more! In the case of rain we will be downstairs in the spacious Madbury room, so the show goes on either way. This is a show not to miss, always fun! Keep an ear for some new tunes.
Sat. Sept. 20 ~ Private
Truffle, Jackson NH
Okay folks, some fun stuff this week.
Catch a show or two and feed your soul.
read on for the Stone Church article (thanks CK)
