DustyMarcus July 2023 Newsletter
Dear listeners,
I hope you are all having an amazing week!! Unfortunately the Dorchester Golf and Country Club has cancelled the Golf for MS event scheduled for this coming weekend (July 29th, 2023). I am disappointed but there will be more shows coming up. We have a new version of Night Train that we will be releasing called “Night Train Live!”. It has been posted in some areas online (N1M) and Facebook but its official release date is currently unknown. Keep your ear to the ground because it will be out there for you to hear.
We are continuing to rehearse for the Gordon Lightfoot Tribute show and shows are set to begin in the fall.
I was thinking of something the other day. About 5 or 6 years ago I was in pretty bad shape. I had sold all my equipment including my beloved guitars, amps, mics, even my watch in order to survive. 2 long time friends of mine who are brothers got together with me for coffee. With them they had a purple Fender Squire. They gave me that guitar so I could carry on playing. It actually changed the course of my life and those guys (they know who they are) probably saved my life. The guitar still sits in my collection and I will never part with it. It is a reminder to me every day to NEVER give up on yourselves, ever. YOU ARE WORTH MORE THAN YOU KNOW!!

I have just written a new song called Room 503, we will be performing it live at our shows but it won’t be officially released until sometime in 2024.
We hope you have an amazing and memorable summer with friends and family (if you are in the northern hemisphere). Remember to use sunscreen and never leave anybody in a car on a hot day. By anybody I am including both children and animals. Remember they cant get up and roll a window down to get some air. And a huge keep warm and dry (for my friends south of the equator).
Take care of yourselves and watch for our next newsletter in August,
Yours in sound,
DustyMarcus
