My Sweet Friend Callie…
Creative Sweetness
Clever, crafty Calecita, conceived these little gift bags to give to all my players.
I felt greatly in her debt, but she loved this warm plush blanket, and was I glad!
Wicked, fine bags for my friends!
Blog Video Page Repaired…
I don’t know how these things happen, but the html was all wrong, hence no video thumbnail/subject info showing. It looks a lot better now, and I’m adding some new vids to youtube now. I’ll keep you posted…
“Carried Away” Project on SoundCloud Nearing Completion
Over a month of Sundays, Jaques Stemon and I have been building our Album, with my famous hit, “Carried Away” posted on SoundCloud… it’s getting quite a few “loves” from total strangers (I sure love making records with Jaques).

I think I’m gettin’ carried away,
The doubts I had before
Don’t matter to me anymore
The games I used to play,
Forgot ’em ‘cuz I see
The difference that she’s been for me
I just can’t believe she’s mine,
She’s magic in a way
That moves me more than words can say
And ah, her eyes they shine
She moves up to me
And everything’s a Mystery
The girl has got me carried away
Away, away
Ridin’ on a love so true
Brand new, and blue
Take me higher, take me away
Baby’s got me carried away
And now I know that she can’t
Hide from me
The feelin’ that took her when she
Tried to see
Inside of me
Baby’s got me carried away, yeah
The ones who came before
Don’t matter to me anymore
And the dues I had to pay,
Forgot ’em ‘cuz I see
The Wonder that our world will be
Baby’s got me carried away
Away, away
Ridin’ on a love so true
Brand new, and blue
Take me higher, take me away
Baby’s got me carried away
Every day,
Baby’s got me carried away
Ah__, baby,
Carry me, takin’ me
Every way,
I gotta say
Girl has got me carried away
Ah____

Me and the GeezerZ on Google Plus:
…and on Facebook:

…and of course, we played our best, for Jack’s daughter’s wedding. The audio recording thingie failed, so the sound is only from my old mini-cam. Captures the spirit of the thing, though.
Phil Westfall Launches a First-Ever Service Offering in Colorado Springs
The first-ever music lessons targeted specifically toward Pastafarians (and Humanists too 🙂 )
I’ll be running some interesting specials to reward disciples of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and just plain old secular folks, too… keep an omnivisient eye right here.
JamCatz Every Other Thursday, 7-9pm
JamCatz last night was a blast! 9 of my favorite Catz showed (you might notice one of the 2 ladies in the back, hiding behind her guitar). Simple charts, projected, so we’re all on the same page.
We hold these every other Thursday, 7 to 9 pm. It’s, open, free and beginner-friendly. Email phil@philwestfall.com to get on the list. More info at http://philwestfall.com/jamz/
2 Cellos at Pikes Peak Center, 04/24/16
A Christmas present to my Callie, we finally got to go. They’re a very big act, world-renowned. I’ve seen them on videos at huge venues, with full orchestras and crowds numbering tens of thousands.
Besides the Croatian prodigies Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser, they supplemented their sound with drummer Dusan Kranjc — insane! We could not have asked for more, nor better.
My girl Callie was dancing in the aisles up close to the stage. The applause was deafening, and all 2,000 of us were on our feet, rockin’ out. That was a fun show!
ZOSO Rockin’
ZOSO, the internationally-acclaimed Led Zeppelin tribute show a few Fridays back did not disappoint! It happened at Stargazer’s Theatre, always a cozy venue for a great concert band.
A Show Big As The Beatles…
The dudes I wanted to be since I saw them on Ed Sullivan. John Lennon became my biggest hero, promoting Peace: something always unpopular to do. In any case, these boys nail the originals (including Ed), and now I know what it’s like to watch my all-time favorite band, my life’s biggest musical influence — LIVE. Color me happy, and many kudos to my brother Trey Lecky, who took me there…
