The Musicians and Singers
The names listed below are not just great singers, musicians and a great engineer/producer.
I consider them dear friends and part of my extended family. They have joined me countless times playing fundraisers, birthday parties, community gatherings and the occasional gig at the Papermill Creek Saloon and Giaco's Valley Roadhouse.
The circumstances of how I met these wonderful people are many; phone calls out of the blue, a gathering at a mutual friend's house, working at the local school, and long time relationships from when our kids were in school together.
Talk about a true community effort! I am truly indebted to everyone's heartfelt performances and finishing up what we started eight years ago.
I am thrilled to offer downloads of these tunes on Aunt June's Basement for free.
Please consider making a donation to the San Geronimo Valley Affordable Housing Association, where I serve as Board President, that is dedicated to protecting and preserving affordable housing for our hard-working Valley families and community members. Donate Here
