Words and music Dec. 5

Join my friend Bill Hernandez and me for a special night Thursday, Dec. 5 at Rose City Book Pub at 1329 NE Fremont St. in Portland. I’ll read from Portland Renaissance and Bill will play from his extensive repertoire of covers and originals. He has even promised to play at least one of the songs I wrote with him.

I’ve known Bill for more than 20 years when we worked together In Nike’s Internal Conmunications Department. Bill was the video guy and I was the writer/producer, traveling the world to tell the stories of Nike’s business and employees. Was fun while it lasted, and I’m so happy and impressed for Bill’s post-Nike career as a singer-songwriter.

Bill and I having a beer a few years back. We’ll be at Rose City Book Pub in Portland on Dec. 5.
