Case in point: I shared a show with Steve Kritzer at The Ugly Mug in Soquel many years ago. Fast forward a few years, and we had several cowrites and lots of gigs under our belts.<\/p>\n<p>These days, we do one annual show, and it&#8217;s always one of the absolute highlights of the my musical year: Steve and I participate in a holiday fundraiser for <a href=\"https:\/\/stjosephsgilroy.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">St. Joseph&#8217;s Family Center<\/a> in Gilroy.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?list=PL88rnaXiHoXC31g8j21BPxxzq4LmNciQJ\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s our 2019 set &#8211; we also just played a few weeks ago.

I hope you enjoy this set. It was a particularly special night.<\/p>\n<p>And if you&#8217;re able and so motivated, <a href=\"https:\/\/stjosephsgilroy.org\/product\/online-donation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">St. Joseph&#8217;s Family Center<\/a> can use donations this year more than ever.
