FIRE CAFE is a cool and suave restaurant and bar with an artistic atmosphere run by Italian Simone. 

The cuisine cooked at Fire Cafe is really delicious! 

They make their own pasta. The    marinated chicken and Italian salad [It: insalata]  that Simone and his chef prepared for me after my performances were really wonderful! 

Buono mangara! [Italian: delicious food]

THE GIG [OCT 14TH]

8TH GIG IN ALMOST 3 YEARS and STARTING TO GET THE HANG OF IT!

Being a Friday night, we had a fairly small but energetic crowd.  

However, two stand out features were: 

THANKS TO: 

1/ NATASHA [from Switzerland] 

who came to see the show and mentioned she is a SINGER in a group back home amongst the alps. She declined my request to sing SOUND OF MUSIC. 

However, she did  improvise harmonies with me on: 

The Beatles' HERE COMES THE SUN

 NORWEGIAN WOOD in the first set. 

Also:  Sade's SMOOTH OPERATOR  in the second set. 

LOVELY VOICE!! 

 [see PHOTOS] 

We might collaborate in the future?

 ALSO BIG THANK YOU TO: 

2/ the 'LET'S GO CRAZY DANCING  JAPANESE GIRLS!' 

They really tore up da house with some pretty sexy moves.

FRED MERZ and I shot video of the gig. 

THANKS as always FRED!! Fred came directly from work, and couldn't carry his bass, so he didn't sit in on COME TOGETHER, BLACK MAGIC WOMAN, SUPERSTITION or SWEET HOME ALABAMA like he usually does. Next time buddy!

I will try to find time to edit and upload some songs soon. 

I have 2 more shows this month: 

CROCODILE AND THE DUNDEES AUSSIE THEME SHOW WITH BAND in K.R.A.C. KOBE on SATURDAY OCTOBER 22nd. 

My regular gig at 

HARMONY MUSIC BAR in TAMATSUKURI OSAKA on SATURDAY 29TH 

I am not sure is I can find the time to edit vids. GAMBARIMASU!

Thanks to EVERYONE WHO CAME and to the friendly 

FIRE CAFE BAR STAFF AND CHEF.

THE NEXT FIRE CAFE GIG DATES WILL BE ANNOUNCED SOON. 

BRING ALL YOUR FRIENDS 

'GET THE GROOVE!'
