Hi everyone, Here is a version of “Benny” written by me, and featuring the quartet, Tim Haggerty on keys, Tom Hayashi on drums, and Mike Lufkin on bass. Hope all is well, and God Bless! Chris

Here is a new video from the Christy’s shows.”This Little Light of Mine” is a gospel classic with a second line New Orleans twist. It’s been a great year being back in Santa Rosa with the boys in the Quartet, but soon I will be returning to Springfield,Oregon to live again. More video is coming, including a version of “Benny” requested by Nadine. Aloha, and God Bless you all! Chris

We’ve got a video for you to see finally.Tim Haggerty,keys,Tom Hayashi,drums,Mike Lufkin,bass. Pee Wee Ellis, you are my hero.( P wrote Chicken Soup!) Life is very interesting. a lot of changes happening right now. More to come…

If you are near Santa Rosa tonight Nov. 19th come to Christie’s from 6 to 9 and see us play some fun music. We will be there every other Friday night from tonight until further notice. Thanks all, Chris

We had a great turnout at Christie’s on Friday night. I really like the new club, they have made some changes and I think it is very much improved. Justin asked us to come back, so we will be playing every other Friday night from 6 to 9 starting on the 19th of November! I would like to thank all of my friends who came out to support us, without you there would be no us. It was especially nice to see my old friend, and bandmate Bill Gibson. I am also very happy about my new guitar rig (after I work out a few kinks it should be great.) Unfortunately, I forgot to push the record button,...

Come down to Christie’s if you are here to see The 4H club rise again! Tim Haggerty on keys, Tom Hiyashi on drums, Mike Lufkin aka “Hufkin” on bass, and yours truly on guitar. We are starting at 6:00 instead of 5:00, but we play till 9:00! I will be trying out my new rig, 2 QSC K10 speakers, a Vox tonelab for a front end, and a ‘65 Strat. Stereo reverb! I hope it works ok.Christie’s is a very nice place for grown ups( and immature musicians) to sit and have a snack and a cocktail, so come on down.

Autumn is in full swing again, my son’s football season is winding down, and it is time to play some gigs at Christie’s in Santa Rosa. Friday November 5th, from 5 to 8 pm is our first gig,so, we’ll see how it goes.We have a couple new songs to play, and we are excited about playing again. Moving back to California was pretty tough on me. I really miss all the good friends we met in Springfield.I certainly miss walking out my back door to fish, that was a treat. It is also great to see our good friends in California of course, and it gives me an opportunity to start fresh...

New Day2 Well… I’ve found myself unpacking boxes again for the umpteenth time this year. I’d like to thank all my good friends in Oregon for being so great! (Goss’s Tiller’s, Anderson’s, Gramzow’s, Jack and Jeannie Williams,Dave and Shirley Pahlanik, and everyone at Camp Creek Church, amen!) It is pretty easy moving back in, ’cause I know where everything goes. Thanks to everyone who sent comments during my radio silence, I really do read them, and appreciate them as well . I have included a song from the archives, and when time permits, I will get...

Hi Everyone, I have been having a great summer with the family here on the McKenzie. We are slowly getting settled, but enjoying all the support from the wonderful, helpful, loving, and caring people in the Springfield-Eugene area. Special  thanks to Carla, Jason, Josh, and McKenzie Goss, Pat, Sherie, and Kayla Greenwell, Mike and Andrea Gramzow, Oriana and Mark Hurwit, and Karen and Kelly Willis. I will try to post more material on the site, but as we are space-challenged here until we do our remodel, it will take awhile before I can set up my equipment. I thank you all for your comments and...
