Kick off the summer with an outdoor show!

I'll be at EmJay's on Friday, May 26 and we're going to start the summer season with something a little different.

Weather permitting, I'm going to play out on the patio and EmJay's owner Greg Jones, who's a really good singer, songwriter and guitar player — he plays an old guitar that uses a tennis shoe lace as a strap — plans to open for me.

Greg and I are hoping for the best, considering the weather curse — each of the four times I've been there so far this year, the weather has been just awful. The way Greg figures it, if the weather's nice, you've just GOT to come to see the curse broken — and if the weather's lousy, well, you won't be going down the shore anyway, so stop by. It's a win-win situation.

EmJay's is at 2 South Main Street in Mullica Hill, New Jersey. The phone number is 856-223-5137.

Music should start at 7 p.m.

Hope to see you there!
