On Saturday the band will travel to Conway, NH for a private party performance. We've done this before as Arthur (formerly of The Kool Whip Boyz and Strange Fruit) passes us an invite every year. This will be the first time with Seitu in the band. He's a good sport but I'm not sure how well he handles cold temps. I did advise him to bring extra warm clothing. Flannel shirts and fuzzy hats r'us.
Next week two gigs! Lisa and Randal's wedding and return to Cafe Amonte in Woburn , MA.

What distinguishes the leader from the misleader are his goals. Whether the compromise he makes with the constraints of reality -- which may involve political, economic, financial or people problems -- are compatible with his mission and goals or lead away from them determines whether he is an effective leader. And whether he holds fast to a few basic standards (exemplifying them in his own conduct) or whether "standards" for him are what he can get away with, determines whether the leader has followers or only hypocritical time-servers.
The second requirement is that the leader sees leadership as responsibility rather than as rank and privilege. Effective leaders are rarely "permissive." But when things go wrong -- and they always do -- they do not blame others. If Winston Churchill is an example of leadership through clearly defining mission and goals, Gen. George Marshall, America's chief of staff in World War II, is an example of leadership through responsibility. Harry Truman's folksy "The buck stops here" is still as good a definition as any.
