Entry #9

{summary} Ah, last night I played two gigs here in N.Y.C., one at Mamma Cassie's, a very cool bar/garden shop and one at Mr.Biggs. Mamma Cassie's is a neat place to check out. One half of it is a smoky bar with a grand piano, cushy couches and seats and a nice laid-back atmosphere and the other side of the room is literally a forest! If the smoke gets to be too much, you can do what I did and go sit amongst the trees, shubbery, and foliage! Ah, what a sweet smell it is with all that green! Then, at 10p.m., I cabbed it over to 10th and 43rd for my "weekly" thursday night gig at Mr.Biggs! My friend Jeff Watkins, a sax player (and he also happens to be James Brown's sax player), sat in with me on some songs! You can see him in action with James Brown on a website http://www.digfotos.com .The photos were taken by Chet Helms who, in the 60's was the manager of Janis Joplin and Big Brother and the Holding Co. Chet also originally brought Janis back out to San Francisco from Texas where they both grew up. Just a little history for you there! So, today intailed a music seminar at none other than Le Bar Bat! I feel like I live there! I wish you all the clarity of vision and strength to live your dreams!!! Love, Jessica Star {extended}
