Sunday, June 28, 2015 was declared Microwave Dave Day in Huntsville, Alabama. Dave Gallaher is a local legend and stalwart bluesman, along with his band, the Nukes, favorites at area dives and juke joints for the past 27 years--not to mention, one of the craftiest guitarist now picking. Congratulations, Dave!  Dave with his patented newsboy cap, mirrored aviator sunglasses, bib overalls, and, of course, the well-worn Stratocaster axe.  Bottoms up, Dave!  Dancers at Dave's party. I'm in the background, to the right of the female dancer's head, in a black Microwave Dave t-shirt, holding one of those familiar red plastic cups. I'll be participating in the Local Author Fest, at the Athens-Limestone Public Library, 603 S. Jefferson St., Athens, AL, this Saturday, May 2, 2015, 10am--3pm. If you're in the area, please stop by.  I had a good time at Earth Day on Monte Sano last Sunday. The rain held off until about 4:30pm, so I had a chance to meet a lot of readers and talk about books.  The 10th Annual Alabama Book Festival will be held this Saturday, April 11, 2015, 9:00am--4:00pm, at the Old Alabama Town, in downtown Montgomery. I'll be talking about The Hotel Monte Sano at 2:30--3:00pm, in the Moulton House, signing books afterward near the Grange Hall, and hanging out the rest of the day in The Ardent Writer Press booth. Hope you can come! Below, talking shop with fellow Alabama author Rick Bragg:   I will be talking about The Hotel Monte Sano, at the Southern Authors Expo, in the Auditorium of the main branch of the Huntsville-Madison County Public Library this Saturday, March 21, 10:00--11:00am. I hope you can come!  Easy one hour hike leaving The Little Green Store at 1:00pm. A rare opportunity to visit Ella's Rock and the Hotel Monte Sano's old chimney, both on private property. A display of artifacts from the hotel will be in The Little Green Store. Spring has finally sprung on the mountain, so come and join us.  Hike 3 of the Monte Sano Challenge to Abbey Rocks and the Natural Well is still on for this Saturday, March 14, 1:00--4:00pm. Meet at the Burritt on the Mountain Parking Lot at 1:00pm. Check with me (256-489-5294) or Burritt (256-536-2882) after 10:00am on Saturday if it is raining.   |
