November 2025 music w/ John Baboian
Hi friends, welcome to the fall.
“The falling Leaves, drift by my window, The Autumn Leaves, of red and gold………” One of the first songs that students of Jazz learn to play.
Except for the few rainy days, the weather has been cooperating so that I can still bike to work. I’m okay down to about low 40’s. If it gets below 40, it’s kinda cold…..
Gia’s first Halloween with us. Wearing a pumpin costume. At first she was barking at the kids ringing the doorbell, but then when she realized that they were supposed to be there, she saw them coming, and greeted them all warmly.
How ‘bout them Patriots!!! On top of the AFC East and looking like a playoff team for sure. Yesiree…..the kid can play!!
Bruins and Celtics just getting started. Sox off on vacation until February.
Some fun gigs this month, as usual. Hope you can join us for a gig or two.
Thanks, Johnny B!!!!!
