Steve and I first started playing together in 2009, when we shared a gig at <a href=\"cafeugly.com\" target=\"_blank\">The Ugly Mug<\/a> in Soquel. We immediately realized that we had good chemistry, a lot of musical common ground, and that folks at the show were appearing to have as much fun as we did&#8230;so, we KEPT playing together.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MP_f_Njc97w\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>One of our last shows this year was a split bill at, of all places, The Ugly Mug. Steve and I did a &#8220;dual CD-release party&#8221; to promote my newest, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/music\/#heykarma\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Hey Karma&#8221;<\/a> and Steve&#8217;s new <a href=\"https:\/\/store.cdbaby.com\/cd\/stevekritzer1\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Right Where I&#8217;m Supposed to Be&#8221;<\/a>. There&#8217;s lot of nice synergy between the two projects. Steve co-wrote (and plays on) two tracks on mine &#8211; He and I cowrote the title track to his. To promote our show at The Ugly Mug, we both did sets on <a href=\"kpig.com\" target=\"_blank\">KPIG<\/a> Radio&#8217;s live music show, &#8220;Please Stand By&#8221; the Sunday before. That&#8217;s what you&#8217;ll hear in this mostly-all-music episode I&#8217;m closing the year out with.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/music\/#heykarma\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-6783 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Hey-Karma-CD-cover-hi-res-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Hey Karma CD cover hi-res\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>I played my new Tom Petty tribute, &#8220;Always a Friend of Mine&#8221;, then Steve backed me on mandolin for &#8220;Hey Karma&#8221; and &#8220;On Saturday and Sunday&#8221; off <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/music\/#heykarma\" target=\"_blank\">the new record<\/a>. When Steve was up, he did &#8220;Right Where I&#8217;m Supposed to Be&#8221; and &#8220;I Wish You Well, &#8221; with me on harmonica and banjo. As always, lots of fun and always a blessing to play with this guy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have comments on this episode?<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019d love to hear from you.
