this month i had the honor of being in the presence of 3 not only my favorite performers but 3 of the most influential musicians in music history.

it started with Toots and the Maytalls at B.B. Kings. Toots, at 64 years old still has the energy of a teenager. he had the crowd dancing and singing along from the beginning to the end. with a voice that sounds better than ever he delivered all the hits including Pressure Drop, Monkey Man and Funky Kingston.

then again at B.B. Kings i had the pleasure of watching the legendary Chuck Berry, 84. although he forgot some lyrics and his solos strayed out of key Chuck Berry is still the greatest! he still managed to squeeze out a few of his signature moves and he still drives the ladies crazy. Chuck Berry deserves a standing ovation.

finally, at Summer Stage in Central Park, i saw Gil Scott-Heron, 61. Not only did he show up but he arrived on time! as we lay in the sweltering heat, trying to stay hydrated, Gil soothed us with his song and inspired us with his
words. he even brought out Common to add some extra texture.

what a month!

June 12

2010 update

whats happenin' all you crazy kids!

well PG has been keeping pretty busy so far this year, with shows at Uncle Mike's, Spike Hill, and Galapagos, and we have lots of exciting things on the way.

first off E-Beats and I have started to flex our Dj'ing muscles with a resident DJ set at the Keg and Lantern over in Greenpoint Brooklyn. on the second Saturday of every single month from 10pm to 3am, we will be not only DJing the "greatest mix of music you could ever imagine", but we will also be hanging out, having drinks, telling jokes, making friends and dancing and dancing and dancing! you might want to stop by.

our next set is Feb. 13th

so remember the PG3's? remember how one of them disappeared and now there are only 2? well the reason we lost one (Leslie) is so she could pursue her solo career. and if you're wondering if there are any hard feelings...no there isn't. PG will be playing at her record release party on Thursday, March 4th at Arlene's Grocery. it's gonna be a super fun show and we're expecting all of our friends to be there!

Then we head back to Brooklyn on March 16th where we will be playing the Knitting Factory with a splendid band called Low Water. oh boy, don't forget your dancing shoes for this show!

now here's a secret...if you've been to any recent shows you may have noticed a few new songs in our set...well there are more to come...and maybe even a new record...but shhh its a secret don't go spreading any rumors!

well i guess thats it for now. i'll be sure to keep you posted on everything if you keep checking in!

love always,
willy
