Greetings,
Hope you all are staying safe during these troubled times. I’ve got an appointment to get vaccinated in March and hopefully that will go as planned.
In the mean time we can keep listening.
Best wishes,
Giles

Greetings,
It's been rough trying to keep busy during this pandemic for musicians. I'm one of the lucky ones to have any gigs at all but thanks to the Cherry Valley hotel I'm still playing some.
Hope you all are staying safe.
Cheers,
Giles

Greetings friends,

I hope you're staying out of harms way this coved-19 season. I'm trying as well- it's a little like walking on a tight- rope; hmmm ,do I play a gig and subject myself to catching this plague or not?
Well, I'm playing outdoor gigs only and wearing a mask as I load in and out and on breaks. The rest is up to the universe.
So far it's working and I've had several nice gigs- weddings, grand openings, backyard parties, and patio bar gigs.
I feel like I'm one of the lucky ones since many people I know are not doing so well and taking other non-musical gigs to survive.
But I don't want to leave the impression that I'm rolling in gigs- not the case. In fact, if you are planning an event please shoot me a text (614 406 4196) or email (gilesmusic@(expired link)) . And check out my sight at (expired link) for more info. about what I do.
Please keep your wits about you.
Cheers,
Giles

Greetings,
Thanks for al the beautiful comments on my page. I really do appreciate them.

For 2020 it’s more nose to the grindstone with solo and band gigs.
I’m keeping my website updated and hopefully will see you at some gigs.

Giles

Howdy folks,
Just decided to pass along a short video of an old jazz classic. I hope that you enjoy this.

Greeting from Ohio !
I've been working hard with my head down lately and looks like the summer is going to be more of the same . But that's a good thing, right?
I have some new songs and I'm writing more .
I hope all is well in your world.
Best wishes / later,
Giles Ponticello

Best wishes to all and thank God it's almost spring!
I never know what to write in these things so here's some lyrics to one of my new songs.
I can't put it up yet because I've reached my space limit.

Back in the Day
-We played our guitars, lived in our cars
tie-dye smoke and incense that day.
grew our hair long, lived by our songs
twist and shout back in the day
-with LP's and reels, do what you feel
rock and roll was still here to stay all you needed was love
maybe a volkswagen bug
"Hey Joe" Give Me Shelter" "Purple Haze"
Back in the Day...

Howdy to everyone out there in N1M land
