Many fine things in life started and evolved from a coffeehouse. Some of the music from coffeehouses of the 60’s remains in the air and through the ether today. I was influenced both then and now by many of those stark to warm images being generated at that time. I soon enough found myself playing coffeehouse on acoustic at university in the mid-70’s in the midwest. Then before I knew it the world had already changed several times and it was the mid-90’s and I was thinking about again playing coffeehouse, this time in the SF Bay Area with many original songs I had written on acoustic. Coffeehouse and acoustic had already come and gone in popular music but I still felt the influence and had in fact continued to live in its comfy waves through those rock-pop-disco-metal-grunge decades. 
So coming back to the coffeehouse in the 90’s was easy for me and I started approaching local coffeehouses with the idea of live music, usually on a weekend morning. I was soon playing at different places on the Hwy 1 coast and other spots in and around San Francisco.
